Gate Futures Points: A Smarter Way to Earn Rewards While You Trade

Introducing the New Points System

Beginning October 14, 2025, at 08:00 UTC, Gate Exchange will officially launch its revamped Futures Points Program. This system reimagines the reward structure within trading, enabling users to earn points automatically through activities such as trading, holding positions, and referring friends, ensuring that every trade and interaction delivers tangible benefits. Points can be redeemed for Cash Tokens, Futures Trial Funds, or Position Trial Vouchers.

Core Concepts of the Points System

Gate’s new points framework is tailored for dedicated futures traders. It prioritizes transparency and fairness while empowering users to control their reward pace. The system calculates points automatically based on trading volume, asset holdings, and referral activity. Users have full access to their points history and can choose when to redeem their rewards, enabling ongoing value accumulation through trading activity.

Three Primary Point Sources

1. Trading Volume Rewards

The more you trade daily, the greater your rewards:

• Earn 1 point for every 400 USDT in trading volume
• Both opening and closing trades contribute to your total trading volume
• No daily cap—active users can accumulate unlimited points

Maintaining consistent trading activity allows every transaction to become a source of long-term earnings.

2. Balance Snapshot Points

The system automatically snapshots account balances daily (including spot assets within unified accounts) and awards fixed points based on your asset level:

• $100 ≤ Balance < $1,000: 1 point per day
• $1,000 ≤ Balance < $10,000: 2 points per day
• $10,000 ≤ Balance < $100,000: 3 points per day
• ≥ $100,000: 4 points per day

(Note: Assets held in financial accounts are excluded from the snapshot calculation.)

3. Referral Bonuses

Earn points by inviting friends to trade futures:

• Invite 1 friend: 1 point
• Invite 2 friends: 2 points
• Invite 3 or more friends: 3 points

Only referrals where the invitee accumulates at least 2 points are eligible.

Points Redemption and Utility

Gate points serve as more than mere records—they can be directly redeemed for real, usable assets.

Redemption options include:

• Cash Tokens: Use directly for trading or to offset transaction fees
• Position Trial Vouchers: Simulate trading and test strategies without risk
• Futures Trial Funds: Ideal for low-risk experimentation with new features or strategy refinement

Redemption requests take effect immediately, and the corresponding points are automatically deducted. Gate will regularly update redemption options and rules to maintain flexibility and up-to-date options.

Points Validity and Management

To maintain a robust incentive system, Gate enforces clear validity periods and usage rules for points:

• Validity: Points are valid for 15 days from the date of issuance and expire automatically thereafter
• Issuance: Points earned each day are issued together the following day
• Usage Order: Points nearing expiration are deducted first

For example, points earned on October 14 must be used by October 29 or they will expire.

Important Notes

1. Accumulating points begins with a daily trading volume of 400 USDT or a position greater than 100 USDT
2. Copy trading and automated trading volumes are excluded from point calculations
3. Futures Points and Alpha Points are separate reward systems—each operates independently
4. Market makers, enterprise accounts, and institutional users are not eligible for this program
5. Only platform-verified valid trading volume is counted; self-trading, wash trading, or abnormal transactions are disqualified
6. Points are a platform privilege and cannot be transferred, traded, or considered cash or token assets
7. Gate reserves the final right to amend point rules, usage scenarios, and validity periods; all changes will be announced officially

Conclusion

Gate’s Futures Points Program offers more than just rewards—it’s a mechanism designed for users to grow as they trade. Whether you’re a daily trader or a long-term participant, every action—from trading volume and balance snapshots to inviting friends—generates measurable value. This structure is designed to maximize value and returns from trading activity.
