About Gateway Guide

Gateway Guide is an independent website about one thing: how to actually use the Gate (Gate.com) exchange. We're not Gate, and we're not its agent or partner. What we do is take the everyday parts — opening an account, getting verified, moving money in and out, paying less in fees — and explain them in language a normal person can follow.

Who we are

This site is run by a small team working under pen names — a few crypto users who made the mistakes first and worked out the process afterward. The pen names are about privacy, not about inventing a persona: we don't fake degrees, we don't claim any license, we don't pretend to be exchange staff or some industry insider, and we don't prop ourselves up with social-media accounts. What you're reading is the collected experience of ordinary users. That's all it is.

What we write — and what we don't

We write about the things with a right answer: the exact steps for signing up and verifying, the different ways to deposit and withdraw, how to cut your fees, which account settings make you safer, how a handful of exchanges actually stack up. We don't write "buy this coin, it's going up" or "copy my trades and get rich" — no calls, no tips. Nothing on this site is investment advice. Crypto carries real risk; every decision is yours to weigh.

Where the money comes from (our incentives)

We earn through Gate's referral program: if you sign up for Gate through an invite link on this site and start using it, the platform may pay us a referral commission. This never adds anything to your costs — in fact, you get the fee discount Gate gives to invited users. We spell this relationship out in plain sight, here and on every article and redirect page, rather than burying it. And because that relationship exists, we hold ourselves to a higher bar when we compare and assess: we still flag the risks worth flagging, and when a third party is the better pick, we say so honestly.

How we check our facts

Fees, limits and rules in crypto change fast. So when specific numbers are involved, we lean toward ranges or plain descriptions, tagged with "check Gate's official page for the current figure" and the date we last verified it — rather than hard-coding one precise number that's bound to go stale. For protocol-level basics (say, roughly how long a transfer on a given chain takes to confirm), we cite authoritative sources such as official documentation or block explorers.

When we get it wrong

We don't pretend to be right forever. When we find something that's wrong or out of date, we log it openly and update it on our corrections page. If you spot a mistake, we'd genuinely like to hear about it — that page explains how to tell us.
