In the world of cryptocurrency, fair access to early-stage project opportunities has long been a challenge for everyday users. The launch of the Gate Alpha Points system is changing this dynamic with its low entry barriers and high transparency, allowing regular users to participate in the early distribution of high-quality projects.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the latest Gate Alpha Points activities and strategies for earning points, helping you maximize your returns in the crypto space.
01 What Are Gate Alpha Points?
Gate Alpha Points are activity scores awarded by the Gate platform based on user engagement within Gate Alpha and Gate Wallet.
Unlike traditional "reward points," Gate Alpha Points cannot be directly exchanged for tokens or rebates. Instead, they serve as a key criterion for determining whether users qualify for upcoming airdrops or Token Generation Event (TGE) subscription opportunities.
The system updates based on daily activity data, using a rolling 15-day accumulation method. Gate Alpha Points act as a passport for users to join various premium activities within the Gate Alpha ecosystem.
02 Latest Points Airdrop Events
As of November 20, 2025, Gate Alpha is running several points-based airdrop campaigns:
The 107th GT Points Airdrop began on November 13, featuring a tiered airdrop structure.
Users holding 125–164 Gate Alpha Points can claim 0.7 GT airdrop tokens by spending 12 points. Those with ≥165 points can claim 2.9 GT by spending 15 points.
The 21st Contract Points Airdrop focuses on KAS (Kaspa), which reached a 24-hour high of $0.05127 during the event.
Eligible contract points users have received 500 KAS as an airdrop reward, with single-account earnings valued at nearly $26 at current prices. The highly anticipated 22nd Contract Points Airdrop will launch on November 17 at 11:00 UTC, offering individual rewards of 30,000 BOME and a $100 USDT position trial coupon.
Gate Alpha’s 18th Points Lucky Pool & Points Treasure Hunt kicked off on November 19 from 08:00 to 14:00 UTC.
Participation in the lucky pool requires just 2 points, with a minimum of 40 points needed for entry and a total prize pool of 400 GT. The Points Treasure Hunt requires at least 70 points, with a maximum of 10 points per round and a single-round reward of 9.5 GT.
The 100th Airdrop Celebration runs from November 12 at 06:00 UTC to November 22 at 00:00 UTC, featuring selected hot tokens such as UAI (BSC), GM (Gate Layer), ENIDOG (ENI), and TRUMP (SOL).
Users can share a $300,000 prize pool by trading daily and completing check-in tasks.
03 Core Uses of Points
Gate Alpha Points serve several key functions within the platform ecosystem, including:
- Airdrop Eligibility: For example, the recent RION airdrop was only open to users with Alpha Points ≥65. The higher your points, the more airdrop projects you can join—and the greater the rewards.
- TGE (Token Generation Event) Qualification: Users with higher points have a better chance of securing priority access to top projects.
- Activity Ranking Weight: Some limited-time events may set point thresholds or ranking rewards, giving higher-point users an advantage.
- Future Ecosystem Expansion: As the platform evolves, points may be used for staking, ticket redemption, unlocking privileges, and more.
04 How to Efficiently Earn Points
There are two main ways to earn Gate Alpha Points: balance points and trading volume points, each calculated daily.
Balance Points
The system takes daily snapshots of eligible assets in users’ Gate centralized exchange accounts, converting their USD value into points. Eligible assets include Alpha account holdings and spot tokens listed on Gate.
Calculation rules:
- $100 to $1,000 = 1 point/day
- $1,000 to $10,000 = 2 points/day
- $10,000 to $100,000 = 3 points/day
- $100,000 or more = 4 points/day
Trading Volume Points
Only buy transactions in the Gate App Alpha Featured Zone are counted; sell orders and internal trades are excluded.
Rules: For the first daily buy of ≥2 USDT, you earn 1 point. Each time your buy amount doubles, you get an extra point.
Examples:
- Buy 4 USDT: earn 2 points
- Buy 8 USDT: earn 3 points
- Buy 16 USDT: earn 4 points, and so on.
05 Strategies for Earning and Using Points
To efficiently earn and use Gate Alpha Points, consider these strategies:
- Track Snapshot Times: The system takes daily snapshots at 23:59:59 UTC, with points updated by 06:00 UTC. If you trade after midnight, that transaction counts toward the next day’s points.
- Monitor Point Validity: Gate Alpha Points use a rolling 15-day system. Each point is valid for 15 days from the snapshot date, after which it expires automatically. Check your point status regularly to avoid losing unused points.
- Join Special Events: In addition to regular balance and trading points, you can earn extra points by participating in special platform events, such as inviting new users or trading designated tokens.
- Points Deducted Upon Participation: Starting May 13, 2025, points are deducted immediately upon confirming participation in Alpha activities or airdrops.
- Claim Rewards Manually: After meeting the requirements, you must manually click the [Claim] button to receive your rewards. If you don’t claim during the event period, it’s considered forfeited and rewards will not be issued automatically.
06 Important Notes and Risk Warnings
When participating in Gate Alpha Points activities, keep these points in mind:
- No Wash Trading or Cheating: Self-trading, bulk accounts, and other manipulative behaviors will result in bans and forfeiture of points.
- Multi-Account Consolidation: Only main account points are valid. Sub-account assets and trading volume are merged for calculation but not displayed separately.
- Participate Rationally: Although Gate Alpha Points activities have low entry barriers, users should participate according to their own circumstances and avoid over-investing.
- Follow Official Updates: Activity rules may change at any time. The platform reserves the right to adjust point earning methods and airdrop rules as needed.
Outlook
The Gate Alpha Points system enables everyday users to fairly participate in the early distribution of top projects through low-barrier access.
