Redefining the Value of Trading
Traditionally, trading is viewed as a straightforward process of buying and selling—placing orders, closing positions, and managing take-profit or stop-loss strategies. Under the Gate Futures Points Program, however, trading evolves beyond routine market activity. It becomes a dynamic cycle of accumulating and growing value.
Gate turns every user action into visible results: whether trading, holding funds, or inviting friends to participate, users earn points that can be redeemed for real, usable rewards. This not only enhances the platform’s incentive system, but also redefines how Gate recognizes the value of user engagement.
Transparent, Fair, and Controllable Points System
The Gate Futures Points system is built for transparency, fairness, and user control, empowering traders to manage their own growth pace. The platform automatically calculates points daily based on trading volume, account assets, and referral activity, fully recording the origin of each point. Users have the freedom to choose when to redeem rewards and can tailor their personal trading incentives strategy.
Gate Futures Points are more than an incentive—they serve as a continuously growing activity ledger, ensuring every user action is traceable and accumulates genuine value.
Three Core Sources of Points
Gate Futures Points elevate trading by adding layers of reward, with points earned from three main categories:
1. Trading Volume Points
The more you trade each day, the greater the rewards:
- Earn 1 point for every $400 USDT in trading volume
- Both opening and closing trades count toward your total
- No daily cap—active users can accumulate unlimited points
If you maintain a consistent trading rhythm, every transaction can contribute to your long-term earnings.
2. Account Balance Points
The system automatically snapshots account balances daily (including spot assets in unified accounts) and awards points based on asset value:
- $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: The system excludes funds in financial accounts from snapshot calculations.)
3. Referral Bonus
Earn points by inviting friends to join futures trading:
- Invite 1 friend: 1 point
- Invite 2 friends: 2 points
- Invite 3 or more friends: 3 points
Only valid referrals—where the invitee accumulates at least 2 points—are counted.

Point Redemption and Utility
Gate Points are not just virtual records—they are actionable tools convertible into real benefits. Users can redeem different reward options based on their needs:
- Cash Token: can be used directly for trading or to offset fees
- Position Voucher: enables users to test new strategies in a simulated environment
- Trial Bonus: supports small-scale experimentation and practice for beginners, lowering the barrier to entry
Rewards become active immediately when you redeem them, and Gate regularly updates available reward options to keep incentives fresh and flexible.
Points Rules and Validity
To ensure fairness and liquidity, Gate enforces clear operational principles:
- Validity: Points are valid for 15 days from the date they are awarded and expire automatically thereafter
- Issuance: The platform credits points uniformly the next day
- Usage Order: The system automatically prioritizes points nearing expiration
Example: If you earn 10 points on October 14, you must use them by October 29 or they will automatically expire.
Important Notes
- You can start accumulating points once your daily trading volume reaches 400 USDT or your position exceeds 100 USDT.
- Copy trading and bot trading volumes are excluded from the calculation.
- Futures Points and Alpha Points are separate reward systems and do not affect each other.
- Market makers, corporate accounts, and institutional users are excluded from this campaign.
- Only valid trading volumes recognized by the platform are counted. Self-trading, wash trading, or abnormal trades are excluded.
- You cannot transfer, trade, or treat points as cash or token assets; they are platform-specific benefits.
- Gate reserves the right to interpret and modify the points rules, terms of use, and validity period. Any changes will be announced.
Summary
Gate Futures Points are more than an incentive—they represent a philosophy of long-term growth. Every trade, closed position, and referral adds new value to your trading journey. For experienced traders, this is a new model that unites strategy and rewards. For beginners, it offers the ideal starting point for learning the market and gaining experience. Gate turns trading from simple execution into a pathway to lasting value and self-driven rewards.
