Gate.io's Gate Square platform has launched the **"$50,000 Red Packet Rain"** campaign, a major community event organized to celebrate the 2026 New Year, especially as the Lunar New Year approaches. This event offers a fun and engaging way for users to earn crypto rewards by simply sharing content. The campaign runs from February 9, 2026, 10:00 AM to February 23, 2026, 4:00 PM UTC and features a total prize pool of **$50,000**.

The campaign is designed to attract new users to the platform and increase engagement among existing users. Participation does not require large investments or high-volume trading—just high-quality, original posts.
