On October 14, 2025, Gate introduced a new Contract Points System, designed to offer exclusive rewards for contract traders. Users can earn points through trading activity, account balances, and inviting new users, which can be redeemed for a variety of platform benefits. This system not only enhances the trading experience but also allows users to realize additional returns by strategically using their points.
How to Earn Contract Points
- Trading Points: Earn points based on your daily contract trading volume. Each reward tier is directly linked to the day’s trading volume—the higher your volume, the more points you receive. For example, a trading volume of 400 USDT earns 1 point, while 819,200 USDT earns 12 points.
- Balance Snapshot Points: Your daily USDT and BTC account balances also contribute to your points. The system takes daily snapshots and awards points according to asset tiers. For instance, accounts with balances between $1,000 and $10,000 receive 2 points per day. Increasing your account assets provides another avenue for earning points.
- Referral Points: Invite new users to trade contracts on Gate and earn extra points. Each successful referral earns you 1 point, with no cap—the more you invite, the more points you accumulate. This incentive encourages user growth and community expansion, rewarding active participation.
How to Maximize Your Contract Points
- Increase Your Trading Volume: Trading more frequently or with higher amounts is the most direct way to earn points. Take advantage of market volatility to adjust your positions. You can rapidly accumulate points. Higher trading tiers yield incrementally greater rewards. This drives both point accumulation and trading profits.
- Boost Your Account Balance: Daily snapshot points depend on your USDT and BTC holdings. Depositing additional assets ensures you earn more points each day. For users with substantial account balances, this is an efficient way to maximize point earnings.
- Refer New Users: Referrals not only increase your points but also help you build connections and collaborations within the community. Every new user you invite brings extra points. Additionally, the trading activity of referred users may increase your potential to earn points.
Contract Points Redemption and Strategies
Redeem your contract points on the points page for cash tokens, position trial coupons, trial funds, and other benefits. To optimize your trading experience, consider exchanging points for position trial coupons to execute larger contract trades, or convert them into cash tokens to increase your trading capital.
Validity and Expiration Rules
Contract points are valid for 15 days from issuance. To avoid losing unused points, redeem them before expiration. The system starts by deducting points that are closest to expiration, so plan your usage accordingly to maximize value.
Please note the following restrictions regarding contract points:
- Contract points apply exclusively to contract trading pairs and are not available for spot trading.
- Sub-account, API, and copy trading volumes do not count toward point calculation.
- Contract points cannot be transferred, traded, or sold OTC; they are a platform-specific entitlement tool.
Summary
The Gate Contract Points System provides multiple ways to earn points and improve your trading experience through flexible redemption options. By increasing trading volume, boosting account balances, and referring new users, you can maximize your points and enhance your trading returns. Whether you’re new to the platform or an experienced trader, strategic planning is key. This approach allows you to fully leverage the privileges and rewards offered by this system.
