Gate Alternatives — Evidence Comparison

Alternative venues are shown for evidence comparison and are not recommendations. They are included because published evidence attributes differ from Gate — not because Gate is “bad”, and not because of commercial relationships.

Why these venues are included

Each candidate differs from Gate on at least one published evidence attribute (regulation, legal-entity mapping, PoR, custody, geographic records, products, or completeness). Inclusion is deterministic from the public snapshot.

What remains unresolved

Open questions and missing domains stay unknown. An empty cell is not a safety finding.

Gate: No confirmed primary incident packaged
Gate: Current platform PoR snapshot recorded from gate.com/proof-of-reserves (audit time 2026-08-19, Merkle+zk-SNARK). HACKEN Jan 2024 entry on the same page documents PoR implementation methodology — not treated as the current reserve snapshot date. Independent attester PDF for the 2026-08-19 snapshot not separately packaged.
OKX: Status page located; no dated material incident structured this phase
Aster: Terms/Privacy remain brand-only 'Aster'; no discrete corporate legal name confirmed. Re-audited 2026-09-13: keep THIN; do not invent fills.
Aster: No regulator licence/registration identifier found; Terms prohibit jurisdictions but do not establish authorization record
Bybit: SATOS partnership terms are regional/partner-scoped; not applied as global Bybit custody. Added PoR wallet-disclosure claim only.
Bybit: No confirmed primary incident record packaged this phase
dYdX: dYdX Operations Services Limited / dYdX Trading Inc. named; DTI states it does not operate public deployments — no licence record packaged. Re-audited 2026-09-13: keep THIN; do not invent fills.

Limitations

This is not a “best alternative” ranking. Evidence differences can change as records are re-verified. Regional records do not imply global approval.
