Getting started — 4 steps
- Create an account on Gate’s official site and complete identity verification (KYC) if required for your jurisdiction.
- Secure your account: enable Google Authenticator (2FA), set a strong password, and add withdrawal address whitelists if you plan to withdraw frequently.
- Fund your account via crypto deposits or supported fiat channels (availability varies by region) and check the markets page for live liquidity and pairs.
- Start small: try a conservative bot (Grid/DCA) or a small manual trade to learn platform mechanics before committing more capital.
Automating strategies with Gate
Gate supports built-in automation and is compatible with third-party services that connect via API. Common bot strategies include Grid (capture range-bound volatility) and DCA (systematic accumulation). Many traders use bot templates to test settings then iterate on grid spacing or DCA intervals to match their risk tolerance. Third-party bot platforms like 3Commas, WunderTrading and Bitsgap also support Gate integrations for advanced automation. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Security & transparency
Gate has published proof-of-reserves materials and upgraded its PoR tooling to include zero-knowledge primitives to balance privacy with verifiability; third-party security assessments (e.g., Hacken) have reviewed aspects of the tooling. As always, keep long-term holdings in cold storage and only keep trading capital on exchanges. Regularly monitor official announcements and PoR pages for updates. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
