Your Trading Value Shouldn’t End at Zero
In derivatives markets, most traders judge success or failure by profit and loss. However, long-term participants invest much more than just the outcome of a single trade. They dedicate time, build experience, and optimize their capital usage through repeated activity. Unfortunately, these ongoing efforts typically leave no trace once a position is closed.
Gate’s Futures Points Program addresses this fundamental issue. It transforms the trading process itself into a resource you can retain, accumulate, and later convert into practical tools—moving beyond a one-off result record.
Futures Points: A Built-In System
Unlike limited-time promotions or task-based rewards, the Futures Points Program lets you keep your current trading habits. Simply trade derivatives, maintain assets in your account, or invite others through the referral system, and the platform automatically converts these everyday activities into points.
Points aren’t consumed immediately. Instead, they serve as strategic resources you can use at your own pace, letting you choose the best time to redeem and apply them.
Fully Automated, No Extra Steps Needed
The system manages all aspects of point accumulation and distribution—including trade volume tracking, asset snapshots, and point settlement. There’s no need to apply, set anything manually, or worry about missing out on rewards due to inaction. This design makes points a natural part of your trading growth, not an extra management burden.
Three Reliable Ways to Earn Points
1. Long-Term Rewards for Trading Activity
The more you trade daily, 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 cap—active users can accumulate unlimited points
Maintain a steady trading rhythm and every action becomes a source of long-term value.
2. The Time Value of Your Account Assets
The system takes daily snapshots of your account balance (including spot assets in unified accounts) and grants points based on asset levels:
- $100 ≤ Balance < $1,000: 1 point/day
- $1,000 ≤ Balance < $10,000: 2 points/day
- $10,000 ≤ Balance < $100,000: 3 points/day
- ≥ $100,000: 4 points/day
(Note: Earn account funds are not included in the snapshot calculation.)
3. Community Participation Brings Extra Benefits
Invite friends to trade derivatives and earn even more points:
- Invite 1 friend: 1 point
- Invite 2 friends: 2 points
- Invite 3 or more: 3 points
Only valid invitations where the invitee earns at least 2 points are counted.

Practical Uses for Your Points
Once you’ve accumulated enough points, you can redeem them for valuable trading tools—such as Cash Tokens to reduce costs, Position Vouchers for greater capital flexibility, and Trial Bonuses to test strategies in lower-risk environments. Gate will continue expanding use cases for points, keeping pace with the evolving trading ecosystem.
Key Rules to Know Before You Start
To ensure fairness and transparency, the Futures Points Program features clear rules: a 15-day validity period, daily automatic settlement, and a first-expiry-first-use policy. Points are not available for days when your trading volume falls below the threshold, nor for institutional accounts or market makers. Understanding these details helps you plan your point accumulation and redemption more efficiently.
From Rewards to a Sustainable Cycle
The Futures Points Program creates a sustainable, positive cycle: trading and holding activity is recorded; points accumulate over time; points are redeemed for practical trading tools; trading efficiency improves; and the cycle continues.
This approach lets all types of participants—high-frequency traders, asset allocators, and community builders—find their own path to long-term accumulation.
Summary
Gate’s Futures Points Program doesn’t try to change trader behavior. Instead, it redefines the value of trading itself. With this system, every order, every day of asset allocation, and every community interaction becomes more than a one-off action. Each can be retained, amplified, and converted into strategic advantages for the future. In the competitive Web3 derivatives market, building a long-term accumulation structure is often more important than any single win or loss. The Futures Points Program brings this philosophy to life.
