As crypto assets gain traction in mainstream finance, an increasing number of traders are focusing on both digital assets and traditional markets. Gate TradFi was created to meet this cross-market demand. Its integrated design allows users to trade various global financial assets within a familiar crypto platform, establishing a truly one-stop investment gateway.

Web4 (Web 4.0) is a super-intelligent environment capable of real-time sensing, understanding, and predicting user needs. It is not merely decentralized but exists as a highly autonomous "symbiotic ecosystem" with emotional intelligence. Unlike Web3, which emphasizes the restructuring of decentralized production relations, the core of Web4 lies in a paradigm shift of productivity—achieving on-chain autonomy and real-time awareness through high-performance AI Agents.

Web3 and Web4 represent a logical progression in the evolution of the internet, transitioning from a "transformation of production relations" to a "leap in productivity." Web3, anchored by blockchain and cryptography, focuses on solving issues of "Ownership" and decentralized trust, returning power from centralized platforms to individuals. In contrast, Web4 is defined as the "Symbiotic Web," with its core revolving around "Agentic Power."

Virtuals Protocol is a blockchain protocol built specifically for intelligent AI agents. It aims to help AI evolve from a functional tool inside a single platform into a digital entity with autonomous behavior, on-chain identity, and economic value. In its design, each AI agent can be deployed, traded, and co-owned. Through decentralization, it addresses common limitations in traditional AI systems such as concentrated ownership, high deployment costs, and difficulty monetizing outcomes, so that AI can truly become an on-chain asset that participates in market activity.

IAO (Initial Agent Offering) is a new Web3 asset issuance model designed specifically for AI agents. It represents a shift in asset issuance logic from earlier fundraising focused models such as ICOs and IDOs toward an on-chain economic model centered on digital labor. Under this framework, the AI agent itself becomes the core asset. Its functionality, revenue rights, and governance rights can all be tokenized and discovered by the market, allowing AI to evolve from a simple tool into an on-chain entity capable of economic activity.

Immutable Contribution Vault (ICV) is an on-chain contribution and revenue sharing mechanism designed for collaborative AI development. Its core idea is that contribution itself is an asset. By writing processes such as model updates, data submissions, feature development, and behavior design directly onto the blockchain, ICV creates immutable contribution records. This transforms development activities that were previously difficult to quantify or track into verifiable and traceable on-chain assets, while providing a transparent and reliable basis for future revenue distribution.

Solana Seeker is not only a gateway to mobile Web3 but also the core credential for participating in SKR ecosystem incentives and the Season 2 retrospective airdrop. Its reward mechanism is built on the dual logic of "hardware ownership + active contribution." Once users complete device activation via the Seed Vault, they secure their eligibility for the base reward pool.
