Gate Introduces a New Futures Point System: Earn Points from Trading, Holding, and Referrals

Gate Introduces Futures Points System

Gate’s all-new Futures Points System officially launched on October 14, 2025, at 08:00 UTC. This system is designed to reward futures traders on the platform. Users can redeem points for more standardized rewards, including trial trading vouchers, position trial credits, and futures experience funds. This approach delivers a more engaging and rewarding experience for active participants.

What Are Futures Points?

Futures Points are an exclusive benefits program for futures users. Users can accumulate points through daily trading, holding positions, or inviting new users. Users can redeem points for various rewards on the dedicated points page. All redemption options are displayed on the platform’s official page.

How to Earn Futures Points

Gate calculates users’ futures activity daily and issues points on the following day. Points can be earned from the following sources:

1. Futures Trading Points

Users earn points based on daily trading volume, starting at $400 USDT for 1 point. Higher trading volumes yield more points. Both opening and closing trades count toward the total, and there is no daily limit on points earned.

2. Balance Snapshot Points

The system takes daily snapshots of users’ futures accounts (including spot balances under unified account mode) and awards fixed points based on asset value:

• $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: Assets in financial accounts (e.g., Savings) are excluded from point calculations.

3. Invitation Points

Earn additional points by inviting new users:

• Invite 1 user: 1 point
• Invite 2 users: 2 points
• Invite 3 or more users: 3 points

Invitations are valid if the invitee successfully earns at least 2 points.

How to Use Points

Users can redeem points instantly on the points page for trial trading vouchers, position trial credits, or experience funds. You can use points immediately after they are issued, and they will be deducted from your balance upon redemption. Official rules for redemption are subject to the details shown on the activity page.

Point Validity and Expiration Policy

• Validity: Points are valid for 15 days from the date of issuance; expired points are automatically void and cannot be restored.
• Issuance: All points earned during a given day are distributed together on the following day.
• Deduction Order: Points that expire soonest will be used first.

Example: If a user earns 10 points on October 14, those points must be used within 15 days or they will expire automatically.

Important Notes

1. Users must trade at least 400 USDT or hold positions over 100 USDT per day to start accumulating points.
2. Copy trading and bot trading volumes are excluded from point calculations.
3. Futures Points and Alpha Points are separate reward systems and do not affect each other.
4. Market makers, enterprise accounts, and institutional users are not eligible for this campaign.
5. Only platform-approved trading volume is counted; self-trading, wash trading, or abnormal trades are excluded.
6. Points are a platform benefit only. They are non-transferable, non-tradable, and do not represent cash or token assets.
7. Gate reserves the right to modify point rules, usage scenarios, and validity periods. Any changes will be announced in advance.

Summary

Gate’s new Futures Points System provides traders with enhanced incentives and flexible redemption options. Users can accumulate points easily through trading volume, balance snapshots, and inviting friends. This maximizes the value of every futures transaction.
