Trading Should Be More Than Just Results
In most futures trading environments, only the final profit or loss remains after each transaction. The time you invest, your trading frequency, capital allocation, and level of engagement are rarely tracked and can’t be leveraged as future resources.
Gate’s Futures Points Program bridges this gap by redefining the value structure of trading. It transforms trading from a simple win-or-lose event into a strategic process that accumulates and strengthens over time.
Core Principles of Futures Points
This system lets users maintain their existing trading habits. Whether you’re placing orders, holding assets in your account, or inviting friends to trade futures, the platform automatically converts these actions into Futures Points.
Points aren’t instant rewards. They’re a resource you can use later and allocate strategically, giving traders control over when and how to redeem them based on their own pace.
Fully Automated Points System
The Futures Points system operates entirely automatically, including:
- Daily trading data analytics
- Account asset snapshots
- Points calculation and issuance
No manual applications or extra setup are required, making participation simple and accessible. Points accumulate naturally in your account, ready to be converted into strategic tools whenever you choose.
Three Consistent Daily Sources of Points
1. Trading Volume Rewards: Earning Resources Through Activity
The more you trade each day, the greater your rewards:
- Earn 1 point for every 400 USDT in trading volume
- Both opening and closing trades count toward the total
- No daily limit—active users can accumulate points without restriction
Maintaining a steady trading pace means every transaction can contribute to your long-term returns.
2. Account Asset Snapshots: Holding Positions Is More Than Waiting
The system takes daily snapshots of your account balance (including spot assets in unified accounts) and awards fixed points based on asset levels:
- $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: Funds in financial accounts are excluded from snapshots.)
3. Community Engagement: Turning Connections Into Strategic Assets
Inviting friends to participate in futures trading also earns points:
- Invite 1 friend: 1 point
- Invite 2 friends: 2 points
- Invite 3 or more friends: 3 points
Only valid invitations where the invitee earns at least 2 points are counted.

What Can Points Be Redeemed For?
Once you accumulate enough points, you can redeem them for a variety of trading-related tools, including:
- Cash Token: reduces your actual trading costs
- Position Voucher: increases flexibility in position management
- Trial Bonus: allows you to test new strategies in a lower-risk environment
Gate also plans to expand redemption options over time, broadening the real-world application of points.
Know the Rules Before Joining the Futures Points Program
To maintain transparency and fairness, the Futures Points Program is governed by clear rules:
- Points are valid for 15 days
- Points are settled and issued automatically every day
- Points expiring soonest are used first
- Daily trading volumes below 400 USDT are not counted
- Institutional accounts and market makers are not eligible
Understanding these rules helps traders plan their accumulation and redemption strategies more effectively.
Building a Positive Cycle, Not Just One-Time Rewards
The Futures Points Program isn’t a short-term promotion—it’s a sustainable, long-term system:
Trading and holding positions → points accumulation → redeem strategic tools → enhance operational efficiency → accumulate points again
Whether you’re a high-frequency trader, a large position holder, or an active community builder, you’ll find an accumulation path that fits your style within this system.
Conclusion
Gate’s Futures Points Program doesn’t require users to change their trading approach or invest additional capital. Instead, it enables existing behaviors to generate ongoing value. Every action—from placing orders and holding positions to inviting friends—can gradually build the foundation for future strategies. In the Web3 ecosystem, true value lies not just in outcomes, but in whether your actions are tracked, amplified, and continuously leveraged. The Futures Points Program is Gate’s effort to bring this philosophy into real-world trading practice.
