We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve entered an exclusive partnership with Gate.io, a leading digital asset exchange and Web3 innovator, to apply for the ‘.gate’ Top-Level Domain (TLD) during ICANN’s upcoming application window. This partnership makes Gate.io the first digital asset exchange to announce plans to pursue its own dedicated TLD.

Driving Innovation In Web3 And Beyond

Existing Web3 naming systems are incompatible with traditional Internet infrastructure, which regularly results in missing critical functionality, brand confusion, and security lapses. Our patent-pending platform is set to integrate traditional Internet and Web3 ecosystems to deliver enhanced utility, security, and universal access for what we’ve dubbed ‘real Web3 domains.’

“We are thrilled to welcome Gate.io on our journey to make Web3 more accessible, scalable and secure with simple, interoperable digital identities built on the DNS,” said Fred Hsu, Chief Executive Officer at D3. “This partnership will enable us to offer our unique identity solutions to over 13 million Gate.io users worldwide, giving them access to innovative solutions that will enhance their journey across Web3.”

Partnering with Gate.io

Gate.io, which was founded in 2013, currently serves more than 13 million active users across the world. By partnering with us, Gate.io continues to showcase its position as an innovator in the market. Together, the companies will develop futureproof, interoperable digital identities for users that offer the best of existing Internet and emerging Web3 technologies.

“We are constantly developing innovative new solutions for our growing ecosystem,” said Dr Lin Han, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Gate.io. “Our partnership with D3 will allow us to offer exciting identity solutions that enhance their trading experience and opens the Gate.io ecosystem up to billions of Internet users worldwide, while maintaining the safe and secure environment our users have grown accustomed to.”

Gate.io joins Shiba Inu and Viction as the first in a series of leading Web3 ecosystems joining D3 on our journey to accelerate the transition to ‘real Web3 domains’ and modern, futureproof digital identities.
