You can receive Alpha points with just 50 USDT. Gate's limited-time 4-day airdrop event has started.

Gate officially launched the TradFi limited-time airdrop event today (January 22nd). Users only need to complete a single TradFi transaction of no less than 50 USDT to receive 8 Gate Alpha points. The event runs from January 22nd to 26th, with only a 4-day window, and limited quantities on a first-come, first-served basis. This is another step in Gate’s ongoing efforts to improve its incentive system and also reflects how the platform, after expanding its TradFi ecosystem, aims to activate new users through a points mechanism.

The Practical Value of Low-Threshold Activities

Why is 50 USDT Worth Noticing

Setting the participation threshold at 50 USDT makes the barrier sufficiently low. Compared to other exchange airdrop activities, this threshold almost has no entry cost—you can use 50 USDT to participate in a real TradFi transaction (gold, forex, indices, commodities, or stocks), and upon completion, directly receive 8 Alpha points.

The key lies in the value of Alpha points themselves. According to the latest data, early projects on the Gate Alpha platform have performed remarkably: ELIZA TOWN up 896.52%, BRIDGE up 598.63%, GOLEM up 455.37%, TYLER up 407.85%. These projects all achieved such gains after their initial launch on Gate Alpha. While past performance does not guarantee future results, it sufficiently demonstrates the reference value of Alpha points as platform ecosystem rights.

What does the tight timeframe mean

The 4-day activity window (from 16:00 on January 22nd to 16:00 on January 26th, UTC+8) may seem ample, but the combination of “first-come, first-served” and limited quantity means the earlier you participate, the more secure your chance. Considering Gate’s user base approaches 50 million, this quantity limit will be relatively tight.

Gate’s Points Airdrop System Is Already Mature

This is not Gate’s first time conducting a points airdrop. According to the latest data, Gate’s contract-based points airdrop system has operated for 67 periods, with 264,000 participants, and a total airdrop reward equivalent to about 3.7 million USDT. This indicates that the platform has established a relatively complete mechanism for generating, accumulating, and distributing points via airdrops.

A single account’s maximum cumulative earnings in this system exceed 2,600 USDT, further confirming the effectiveness of points airdrops as genuine incentives. In other words, Gate is not just running a superficial “points game,” but is genuinely incentivizing users with real money.

Why is Gate launching this activity

From a broader perspective, this activity is a supporting move for Gate’s expansion of its TradFi ecosystem. According to recent announcements, Gate is bringing real assets such as gold, forex, indices, commodities, and stocks onto the platform. TradFi trading remains a relatively unfamiliar area for crypto users, and using low-threshold incentive activities to guide users to try it out is a reasonable growth strategy.

At the same time, this also reflects Gate’s effort to enrich its ecosystem. Through multiple incentive linkages involving TradFi trading, Alpha points, on-chain trading, and contract trading, the platform is gradually building a more comprehensive user engagement system.

Summary

The core value of this activity lies in three points: extremely low participation threshold (50 USDT), a limited time window (only 4 days), and rewards with real value (Alpha points that can participate in early platform projects). If you haven’t experienced TradFi trading on Gate yet, this is the lowest-cost opportunity to try. However, it’s important to note that “first-come, first-served” and limited quantities mean you shouldn’t delay too much—especially on a platform with such a large user base.
