Gate Alpha Points System Launch
To further enhance ecosystem development and improve the user experience for participating in activities, Gate Alpha will officially launch the “Alpha Points System” on July 29, 2025. This system will serve as the primary metric for evaluating user participation in Token Generation Events (TGEs), Alpha airdrops, and other ecosystem benefits.
Definition and Purpose of Points
Definition of Points:
Alpha Points are activity metrics calculated based on users’ activity data on the Gate platform and within the Alpha section, including factors such as asset holdings and trading activity. The total score is the cumulative sum of daily points earned over the most recent 15 days.
Primary Function:
Points determine user eligibility for token airdrops in the Alpha area, TGE subscriptions, and limited-time activities. The higher a user’s points balance, the more opportunities and rewards they can access.
Points Calculation Rules
1. Balance Points
Only the market value (in USD) of assets from listed tokens in the Gate spot market is counted, including assets in both Main and Alpha accounts. Unlisted tokens and tokens not listed in the Alpha section are excluded from the calculation.
2. Trading Volume Points
Only the purchase amounts made in the “Alpha Select” section via the Gate platform are eligible (sales and internal transfers are not included). The calculation logic is as follows:
- For the first daily buy amount ≥ 2 USDT, 1 point is awarded.
- After the initial buy, each time the buy amount doubles (e.g., 4 USDT → 8 USDT → 16 USDT, etc.), 1 additional point is earned (e.g., 4 USDT purchase earns 2 points, 8 USDT earns 3 points, and so on).
3. Special Points
During certain promotional periods, trading designated tokens may earn additional bonus points. Details are available in the event announcements.
Time and Snapshot Rules
- Daily Snapshot Time: 07:59:59 (UTC+8) each day
- Points Update Time: Points are updated no later than 14:00 (UTC+8) each day
- Example: If a trade is completed before 07:59:59 on April 23, that trade will count toward April 22’s points. If completed after 08:00:00, it will count toward April 23.
How to Check Points
Currently, Alpha Points are only available on Gate App version 7.14.0 or later:
Method 1: From the App sidebar, tap [Alpha Points]
Method 2: In the Order Panel (top right), tap [Alpha Points]
Method 3: Enter “Alpha Points” in the home page search bar to access the points page
Points Airdrop Reward Mechanism
- Users can redeem points for airdrop rewards.
- Users must manually claim rewards within the airdrop period; otherwise, the platform will consider them forfeited.
- After a successful claim, the platform credits the airdrop to the Alpha account within 1 hour.
Important Notes
1. Historical data was collected for the points system before launch and is available for users to review.
2. Only the main account can participate in points calculation independently; sub-account data is merged into the main account and is not displayed separately.
3. Points are solely for assessing participation eligibility and activity levels; they do not affect asset security or trading rights.
4. Gate Alpha reserves the right to adjust the points rules as needed, and the platform retains final interpretation rights.
5. If you have questions, contact customer support through the Gate App “Help Center” or official community channels.
