The Gate Futures Points System is an exclusive benefit program designed for futures traders on the Gate platform. By encouraging users to participate in futures trading, manage their asset balances, and refer new users, the system rewards users for their activity while driving greater engagement and platform loyalty.
Gate introduced Futures Points to incentivize trading participation, lower trading costs, and enhance the overall trading experience. The system officially launches on October 14, 2025, and will serve as an essential reward mechanism for futures traders’ daily activities.
Three Ways to Earn Gate Futures Points
There are three primary ways to earn Gate Futures Points, each tailored to different user profiles:
- Futures Trading Points: This is the most straightforward way to earn points. Every time a user executes a qualifying futures trade—whether opening or closing a position—the system awards points based on trading volume. The system grants points on a tiered scale: as your trading volume increases, you earn more points. For example, a trading volume of 400 USDT earns 1 point, while a volume of 204,800 USDT earns 10 points.
- Account Balance Points: Each trading day, the system snapshots users’ USDT and BTC balances in their futures accounts and issues fixed points based on the balance. For instance, a balance between 100 and 1,000 USDT earns 1 point per day; a balance exceeding 100,000 USDT earns 4 points per day.
- Referral Points: By referring new users who begin futures trading on Gate, existing users earn referral points. Each successful referral earns 1 point, up to a maximum of 3 points. This approach encourages user referrals and supports platform growth.
Maximizing Use of Gate Futures Points
Once users accumulate enough points, they can redeem them for platform rewards to enhance their trading experience. Gate Futures Points can be used in the following ways:
- Redeem for Fee Offset Tokens: Points can be exchanged for fee offset tokens, which offset trading fees and reduce overall trading costs.
- Redeem for Demo Vouchers: These vouchers allow users to experiment with higher leverage trades, simulate larger positions, and increase trading flexibility.
- Redeem for Practice Funds: Practice funds enable users to test different futures trading strategies and improve their trading skills.
How to Maximize Points Earning Efficiency?
- Increase Trading Volume: Execute more frequent and higher-volume futures trades to reach higher points tiers and earn greater rewards.
- Maintain Higher Balances: Keep a substantial asset balance on the platform to secure consistent daily points—large-balance accounts receive even more generous rewards.
- Refer New Users: Grow the trading community by referring friends to join. This not only boosts platform activity but also increases your points earnings.
Futures Points Validity and Usage Rules
Gate Futures Points are valid for 15 days. Users must utilize their points within this period; any unused points will automatically expire. To ensure fairness, the system always applies the earliest expiring points first.
This validity management helps users avoid accumulating unused points and maintains system fairness and activity. Use your points within the validity period to avoid losing them.
Summary
The Gate Futures Points System increases the flexibility and earning potential of futures trading while offering a diverse range of rewards. By trading futures, managing asset balances, and referring new users, users can earn points and redeem them for fee offset tokens, demo vouchers, and practice funds to optimize trading results.
This points system not only drives higher engagement on the platform but also generates more value for users. As the system continues to evolve, Gate Futures Points will become an integral part of futures trading, delivering even greater incentives and rewards.
