The Hack Seasons Conference featured a Tech Track Stage hosted by Gate Ventures. This segment offered a highly curated program of keynotes, panels, and project demos, providing an exclusive opportunity to explore the latest developments in blockchain technology and the TON ecosystem.

The focal points of the Hack Seasons Conference were two panels focusing on investment and exchanges. Jaylen, Principal at Gate Ventures, participated in the investment panel "Asian Investment Giants in Talks", while Edwin Cheung, Head of Sales at Gate.io, joined the exchange panel "Tell Me The Bull Run is Here". Kevin Lee, CEO of Gate.HK, an independent associate of Gate.io, delivered a keynote speech titled "Top 10% is the New 10x" in between the panels, where he focused on the long-term survival and growth of cryptocurrencies, sharing insights on traversing industry cycles.

The Tech Track Stage in the afternoon kicked off with an opening keynote by Dr. Lin Han, CEO of Gate.io, who spoke on the topic, 'Gateway to TON Ecosystem,' setting the stage for the day’s discussions. He shared insights on the current state of the TON ecosystem, highlighting that while it is experiencing rapid growth, users are facing key challenges such as low-cost token distribution and transfers, low-cost trading, and cross-chain transactions involving stablecoins. Gate.io offers solutions in several areas including batch distribution, pre-market/pre-mint options, spot trading, and cross-chain transfers. Following this, Richard Li, Partner at Gate Ventures, delivered an introduction to Gate Ventures, outlining its role in driving innovation and investment in the blockchain space.
