Gate Alpha Distributes $800,000 in Rewards to 100,000 Users Through Points Carnival
Gate Alpha, a prominent crypto exchange, has introduced a new incentive model through its Points Carnival, aiming to revolutionize how users access airdrops. The campaign, which ran from May 27 to June 30, 2025, distributed over $800,000 in rewards to more than 100,000 users. This initiative marked the first large-scale user incentive campaign since Gate Alpha’s upgrade, focusing on making airdrops more accessible and retail-friendly.
The Points Carnival featured 17 consecutive token listing airdrop events and two special points giveaways, covering trending on-chain projects such as PFVS, SOPH, GOCHU, EDGEN, and GT. Unlike traditional airdrops that often require significant capital, Gate Alpha’s campaign allowed users to participate with as little as 0.5
. This lower entry threshold was designed to attract a broader user base and cater to those who might otherwise be excluded due to high capital requirements.At the heart of Gate Alpha’s approach is the Alpha Points system, where points are redeemable for token airdrops on a set schedule. Some users also received mystery boxes containing up to $100 worth of trending tokens. Individual participants earned up to $1,400 over the 33-day period, with the special airdrop structure combining both planned and surprise incentives. This emphasis on tangible returns, even for smaller trades, was a key differentiator for the campaign.
Community feedback highlighted the dual benefits of lower-volume trades, which included instant cashback and points-based rewards. Gate Alpha’s one-click trading experience and automatic token selection process were also noted for making participation more streamlined. The platform’s goal is to blend the convenience of centralized exchanges with the vast coin selection of decentralized platforms, offering users a seamless trading experience.
In addition to the incentive campaign, Gate Alpha rolled out several product updates to enhance trading responsiveness and flexibility. These updates included full support for both limit and market orders, customizable slippage settings, and an overhauled candlestick chart interface. Users can now access personalized chart styles, add or remove indicators, and share charts with a single click, improving how market data is viewed and interpreted.
The platform’s multi-chain capabilities were also expanded to include SOL, ETH, BNB Chain, and Base. This allows users to trade on-chain assets directly from their spot accounts using USDT, without the need to switch networks or complete separate authorizations. The goal is to make on-chain trading feel more like traditional spot trading, combining the convenience of a centralized exchange with the vast coin selection of a decentralized platform.
Gate Alpha has also overhauled its token listing mechanism, shifting to a high-frequency model that supports new listings on a minute-level basis. This new approach is designed to reduce the time between on-chain discovery and centralized availability, giving users faster access to high-growth assets. The platform positions this as part of its broader product philosophy—All On-Chain Assets, One Gate Alpha. Listings now cover a wide range of sectors, including Meme, AI, GameFi, RWA, L3, and NFTs, and span the full asset lifecycle, from early-stage experimental tokens to more established projects.
Gate Alpha’s Points Carnival campaign is continuing with the Third Points Carnival, which maintains the same low-barrier approach and adds three new ways for users to earn rewards with over $1 million prize pool in total up for grabs. The Daily Trading Check-in allows users to earn up to four points per day by completing daily trading volumes between 50 and 300 USDT. Bonus points are available on weekends, and users who check in for eight consecutive days qualify for access to a special $50,000 prize pool.
Additionally, Gate Alpha has introduced a referral system where users can earn up to 100 points for each friend they invite who completes their first trade. Users can also continue to earn points by participating in new token listing events, with all points feeding into a total reward pool worth $150,000. The mystery box feature also returns, offering rewards of up to $100 in trending tokens.
While this round of the campaign is live, Gate Alpha is already preparing additional airdrop events, new mechanics, and broader project coverage. Its points-based system will continue to evolve as the platform experiments with different forms of engagement across a wider range of user profiles. The listing infrastructure upgrades aim to expand access to on-chain opportunities by drastically reducing the time it takes for users to engage with new tokens.
Ultimately, Gate Alpha is positioning itself as a key entry point for on-chain trading, particularly for users looking to access early-stage tokens without the complexity or scale typically required. Whether through small daily trades or participation in token listings, the platform is focused on enabling lower-friction ways for more users to engage with Web3.
