What are the Gate VIP activities: December latest participation guide and exclusive benefits analysis

Gate VIP Contract Elite Challenge Phase 4 officially kicked off at 15:00 on December 17 and will run until January 1, 2026. This event offers a prize pool of up to 45,000 USDT and features dual leaderboards for profit and trading volume.

In addition to competitive activities, Gate has prepared multiple limited-time benefits in December for users with different needs, including “December Miracle Feast” and “Reward Doubling,” with a total prize pool worth over one hundred thousand dollars.

01 Recent VIP and Popular Event Overview

For active traders, mid to late December is a key window to participate in Gate platform activities and win substantial rewards. Currently ongoing events mainly focus on contract trading, new user incentives, and community contributions.

The most attention is on Phase 4 of the VIP Contract Elite Challenge. The event started at 15:00 on December 17 and will continue until January 1, 2026. It features dual leaderboards for profit and trading volume, with a prize pool of up to 45,000 USDT.

Participants who meet the requirements can receive a guaranteed minimum reward of 100 USDT, and top performers have the chance to directly qualify for the annual finals.

Another major event, “December Miracle Feast,” is also in its final stage. It will end at 16:00 on December 18, offering a total prize pool of 100,000 USDT.

The event adopts a “Daily Check-in” and “Trading Ranking” dual mechanism. Users who complete at least 5,000 USD in contract trading daily can check in, with a maximum cumulative reward of 260 USDT.

Additionally, Gate’s official “Reward Doubling (Phase 4)” activity aims to attract and motivate new users. New users completing registration, first deposit, or first contract trade tasks can share in a reward pool valued at 40,000 USD.

This activity also includes trading competitions, where users who reach certain trading volumes can share rewards based on their rankings. Users who complete specified futures trading amounts daily can also enjoy reward doubling.

02 Core Value of VIP Fee Discount

Participating in limited-time activities grants one-time rewards, while Gate’s VIP fee discount system provides ongoing cost reductions for high-net-worth and high-frequency traders, which is the core of VIP long-term value.

This system dynamically assesses user levels based on their trading volume over the past 30 days (calculated in USDT) and the amount of GT holdings in their account. The higher the level, the greater the trading fee discount, with some reaching zero fee trading.

VIP fee discounts apply to both spot and contract trading. For example, in contract trading, high-level VIP traders can enjoy taker fees as low as 0.045%, and maker fees may be even lower.

VIP members also benefit from service fee discounts on borrowing rates, further reducing capital usage costs.

VIP levels are not fixed permanently; the platform evaluates and updates levels monthly based on the latest trading volume and asset holdings. Users need to maintain or increase their trading activity or assets to sustain or upgrade their VIP level and continue enjoying better rates.

03 Exclusive Services and Comprehensive Rights System

Since the major upgrade of the VIP system in July 2025, Gate has built a comprehensive service network beyond simple fee discounts for advanced users.

The upgraded VIP benefits cover five major areas: trading, asset management, fiat services, customer support, and exclusive experiences, with over 20 unique privileges.

In trading and asset management, VIP users enjoy significant practical privileges. Spot trading fee discounts can reach up to 75%, and withdrawal limits are increased to 200,000 USDT.

In wealth management, the system offers high-yield products, personalized consulting, and curated airdrop opportunities. The staking cap on Launchpool is increased to 12,000 USDT, and mortgage loan limits are raised to 200,000 USD.

Customer service experience has also been specially optimized, with VIP users receiving faster response times and priority support. Additionally, VIP members enjoy a series of non-financial privileges.

These include receiving carefully selected holiday gifts from the platform, invitations to major sports events or private gatherings, aiming to provide users with a unique brand experience and a sense of community.

04 Participation Path and Strategic Recommendations

Understanding the activities and benefits, a reasonable participation path can help maximize your gains. For new users, the entry point is very clear: register immediately and participate in “Reward Doubling” and other exclusive new user activities to obtain initial capital at zero cost.

Completing the first deposit (usually no less than 50 USD) and first contract trade can earn fixed cash rewards or fee deduction coupons.

For users with some assets or trading experience, the goal is to increase trading volume or GT holdings to reach higher VIP levels. Actively participate in activities like “Phase 4 VIP Contract Elite Challenge” that can be combined with daily trading.

While competing for ranking rewards in the event, the trading volume generated also helps elevate VIP levels, allowing access to better long-term rates.

Community users can focus on Gate Plaza’s “Annual Content Creator Selection” and similar activities. By creating high-quality content to build influence, they can earn official certification, traffic support, and exclusive merchandise, which has unique value for personal branding.

Regardless of the activity participation, it is essential to carefully read official rules, paying special attention to activity duration, reward distribution methods (cash, coupons, or physical items), and anti-cheating clauses such as multiple registrations or volume manipulation, to ensure compliant participation.

Future Outlook

On December 17, Gate’s VIP members are especially busy: they just qualified for the new contract challenge, check their VIP fee discounts based on last month’s trading data, and plan how to complete the “Miracle Feast” check-in task for the day.

On a distant digital screen, the real-time leaderboard of the contract elite race updates continuously. Behind a user just upgraded to VIP3, a prominent “Maker fee 0.050%” label appears.
