Gate Alpha, the innovative ecosystem segment of Gate Exchange, has recently launched a series of engaging points-based activities, offering users a diverse range of earning opportunities—from airdrops and trading competitions to lucky draw pools.
This article provides a detailed breakdown of the latest points activities as of November 21, helping you develop optimal participation strategies and maximize your rewards.
01 Points Airdrop Activities: The Preferred Choice for Steady Returns
Gate Alpha’s airdrop events have consistently been popular among users. Recent rounds have featured a variety of token airdrops with tiered point requirements, allowing users at different point levels to find suitable ways to participate.
- GT Airdrop (Round 112)
As Gate’s platform token, GT remains a top pick for airdrop activities. The 112th GT airdrop launched on November 20 with the following tiered rules:
- Tier 1: 129 ≤ Points ≤ 168, spend 12 points to receive 0.6 GT
- Tier 2: Points ≥ 169, spend 15 points to receive 2.8 GT
- ADO Airdrop
The ADO airdrop sets different point thresholds:
- Tier 1: 125 ≤ Points ≤ 165, spend 12 points to receive 180 ADO
- Tier 2: Points ≥ 166, spend 15 points to receive 800 ADO
- DGRAM Airdrop
Similarly, the DGRAM airdrop uses a laddered system:
- Tier 1: Points between 128-166, spend 12 points to receive 600 DGRAM
- Tier 2: Points ≥ 167, spend 15 points to receive 4,000 DGRAM
All airdrop activities follow a "first come, first served" principle. Eligible users are advised to claim rewards as soon as the activity starts to avoid missing out.
02 Trading Activities: Extra Benefits for Active Users
Beyond airdrops, Gate Alpha also offers trading activities for popular tokens, enabling users to earn additional rewards while trading.
- ADO Trading Activity
From November 18 to November 21, users can trade ADO to share in a $50,000 prize pool.
- Basic Reward: Trade ≥ 256 USDT per day for two or more consecutive days to share $20,000 worth of ADO, with a maximum of 1,250 ADO per user.
- Advanced Reward: Trade ≥ 512 USDT per day for two or more consecutive days to share $30,000 worth of ADO, with a maximum of 2,000 ADO per user.
These activities are ideal for users with regular trading needs, allowing them to earn extra token rewards through normal trading operations.
03 Lucky Pools and Points Treasure Hunts: High Returns for Modest Points
For users with a moderate amount of points, lucky pools and points treasure hunts offer the chance to win big with a small investment.

The 18th Gate Alpha Points Lucky Pool & Treasure Hunt kicked off on November 19, featuring the following rules:

These activities are well-suited for users who may not have a large number of points but want to try for substantial returns. Each entry requires only a small amount of points for the chance to win considerable rewards.
04 Gate Alpha Points System Explained
To participate effectively in Gate Alpha activities, it’s essential to understand how the points system works.
Points Definition: Gate Alpha points are activity indicators generated based on user behavior data within the Gate platform and Alpha ecosystem (including asset holdings and trading activity). The points value is the cumulative total of daily points over the past 15 days.
Core Function: Your points directly determine eligibility for Alpha zone token airdrops, TGE subscriptions, limited-time events, and other benefits. The higher your points, the more activities and benefits you can access.
Compared to other platforms in the industry, Gate Alpha stands out for its low participation threshold.
For example, Binance Alpha requires users to reach a daily trading volume of 8,192 USDT to participate, while Gate Alpha only requires 100 USDT per day—a reduction of over 98%—making it accessible to a much broader user base.
05 Practical Tips for Participating in Gate Alpha Activities
Based on the characteristics of Gate Alpha activities and user experiences, here are some participation tips:
- Pay attention to point tiers: Airdrop activities typically have different tiers; higher points mean greater rewards. For instance, in the GT airdrop, users in the high tier (≥169 points) can receive 2.8 GT, which is more than 4.6 times the low tier reward (0.6 GT).
- Prepare in advance: Check your points before the activity starts to ensure you meet the threshold for your desired tier.
- Update your app version: Most new activities require Gate App v7.20 or higher. Update your app ahead of time to ensure eligibility.
- Seize the time window: Airdrop events usually have limited spots and follow a "first come, first served" rule. Participate early to claim your rewards.
- Join multiple activities: You can participate in several activities simultaneously, such as airdrops and trading rewards in a single event, to maximize capital efficiency.
- Manage your points: Plan your point usage wisely to ensure you have enough left for future, potentially more lucrative activities.
Since Gate Alpha officially updated its points system in August, there have been 103 rounds of points airdrops covering more than 30 popular tokens. The highest individual cumulative earnings have exceeded $6,400, with over 2 million total participations.
Gate Alpha’s upcoming activities will be even more diverse. Stay tuned and manage your points wisely—the next big winner could be you.
