Since the upgrade of the points system, Gate Alpha has launched over 100 rounds of airdrops, covering more than 30 popular cryptocurrencies. Over 2 million users have participated, with the highest single-user earnings exceeding $6,400. To celebrate this milestone, Gate Alpha has recently launched the "100th Airdrop Celebration Event," featuring a total prize pool of up to $300,000.
This article will provide a comprehensive breakdown of the event’s detailed rules and offer an in-depth look at how the Gate Alpha points system works, helping you maximize your returns while participating.
01 In-Depth Guide to the 100th Airdrop Celebration
The Gate Alpha 100th Airdrop Celebration officially kicked off on November 12, 2025, at 06:00 UTC and will run until November 22, 2025, at 00:00 UTC.
This event features five major reward categories. Participants can share in the prize pool by trading designated popular tokens and completing daily check-in tasks.
Hot Token Trading & Check-Ins
This round focuses on four selected hot tokens: UAI (BSC), GM (Gate Layer), ENIDOG (ENI), and Trump (SOL).
There are three main reward types for this event:
- Hot Token First-Come, First-Served Rewards: During the event, the first 1,000 users for each hot token who make a single purchase of at least 200 USDT will immediately receive an airdrop reward for that token.
- Hot Token Check-In Rewards: Each day, if you purchase at least 200 USDT of a single hot token, it counts as a successful check-in for that day. If you check in for 5 or more days (consecutively or cumulatively), you’ll be eligible to share in the prize pool for that token based on your total check-in days.
- Top 100 Trading Volume Rewards: Users who reach a cumulative purchase volume of 30,000 USDT or more during the event (with the top 3 needing at least 100,000 USDT) will share substantial USDT rewards based on their trading volume ranking, with the top prize up to 5,000 USDT.
Referral & Exclusive Rewards
Beyond trading rewards, the event also offers attractive social and exclusive incentives:
- Referral Rebates & Mystery Boxes: Invite a friend to register and make a purchase of at least 100 USDT on Gate Alpha, and you’ll receive a mystery box worth 5 USDT in tokens, plus a 40% rebate on your invitee’s trading fees.
- New & Returning User Rewards: New users, or returning users who haven’t traded for more than 5 consecutive days, can participate in sharing a 30,000 USDT token mystery box pool by making daily purchases of at least 128 USDT for 5 or more days.
02 Gate Alpha Points System: Core Mechanism
To participate in these events consistently and maximize your earnings, it’s essential to understand the Gate Alpha points system.
Points System Overview
Gate Alpha Points are an activity metric based on users’ asset holdings and trading activity within the Gate platform and the Alpha ecosystem.
The core value of points lies in their role as a key threshold for participating in Alpha token airdrops, TGE (Token Generation Event) subscriptions, and other core benefits.
Points are calculated as the sum of daily data over the past 15 days, with the system updating every day at 06:00 UTC.
How to Earn Points
Points are mainly earned through two dimensions: asset holdings and trading activity.
- Balance Points: Every day at 23:59:59 UTC, the system snapshots users’ compliant assets in their Gate centralized accounts and calculates points based on the market value of those assets.
- Trading Volume Points: Only "buy" transactions in the Gate Alpha Featured Zone are counted. The first qualifying purchase each day must be at least 2 USDT to earn points, and for each doubling of the purchase amount, points increase accordingly (e.g., 2 USDT earns 1 point, 4 USDT earns 2 points, and so on, with no upper limit).
03 Practical Tips & Recent Case Studies
Mastering the following strategies and understanding recent cases can help you make the most of the points system.
Strategies for Efficiently Boosting Points
- Maintain Sufficient Assets: Holding enough mainstream tokens in your spot account is the foundation for consistently earning balance points.
- Stay Active in Trading: Making at least one qualifying purchase (≥ 2 USDT) in the Alpha Zone each day is key to accumulating trading volume points.
- Monitor Project Updates: Keep a close eye on updates to Alpha Featured Projects and prioritize participating in highlighted projects, as they sometimes offer additional rewards.
Points Redemption & Airdrop Case Study
The primary use of points is to redeem various airdrops and platform benefits. Right before the 100th Celebration Event, Gate Alpha held its 104th COAI token airdrop on November 11.
This airdrop used a tiered points redemption model, automatically matching users to tiers based on their current points:
- Users with 120–159 points could redeem 6 COAI by spending 12 points.
- Users with 160 or more points could redeem 17 COAI by spending 15 points.
This clearly demonstrates how points provide real utility in qualifying for airdrops.
04 Risk Warnings & Important Notes
Before participating in any event, please be sure to review the following:
- Identity Verification: All participants must complete identity verification to claim rewards.
- Compliant Participation: Bulk registration of fake accounts, wash trading, self-trading, and other cheating behaviors are strictly prohibited. Multiple accounts under the same verified user will be treated as a single account.
- Assume Your Own Risk: Gate Alpha token projects are generally highly volatile and risky. Please fully understand and assess the risks before participating.
- Regional Restrictions: Users from the UK and certain other restricted regions are not eligible for this event.
- Reward Distribution: Event rewards are typically distributed within 14 business days after the event ends.
