VIP Exclusive Airdrop Carnival Phase 8: For Traders Only—Claim Airdrops Monthly, and Kick Off the New Year with a Mystery Token Incentive Worth Up to 30,000 USDT

As 2026 begins, to thank our VIP trading users for their long-term support, we are officially launching the VIP Exclusive Airdrop Carnival Phase 8. Building on the ongoing "monthly airdrops" benefit, this phase introduces a comprehensive upgrade to the reward mechanism featuring mystery token rewards, aiming to bring even more excitement to your New Year trading journey.

This Round's Prize Pool:

Mystery token rewards—to be revealed 72 hours before the event ends

Event Period: January 8, 2026, 08:00 (UTC) – January 18, 2026, 08:00 (UTC)

How to participate?

• This event is an exclusive benefit for designated VIPs. Users must upgrade to VIP 5 or above through trading to successfully register for the event (VIP Trial Card users are excluded). Check VIP tier upgrade trading volume requirements.

*Example: User A is VIP 4 and upgrades to VIP 5 by meeting the required trading volume target, so they qualify to register for this event; User B has reached VIP 8, but their upgrade from VIP 7 to VIP 8 must be achieved by meeting the specified trading volume target to qualify. If User B upgraded to VIP 8 by other means (e.g., meeting asset requirements), even if they reached other VIP levels via trading volume, they do not qualify for this event.

• To receive the airdrop rewards for this event, participants need to meet the following conditions:

• Accumulate a total futures trading volume of 1,000,000 USD during the event.

• Registered users must maintain a VIP level of VIP5 or above until the event ends. The final VIP level used for prize pool distribution will be the user's level at the end of the event.

• Prize pool distribution:

• VIP levels 5 – 7 share 70% of the total prize pool
• VIP levels 8 – 14 share 30% of the total prize pool

Important Notes:

1. Users are required to click the "Join Now" button on the event page, and complete the identity verification to be eligible for rewards.
2. Only users who upgraded to VIP 5 and above via trading volume (not asset-based) are eligible. To remain qualified, they must maintain VIP 5 status or higher until the event ends. Downgrading below VIP 5 will result in disqualification.
3. Users at VIP 0–4 can qualify by reaching a trading volume of 1,000,000 USD within 30 days. The 30-day trading volume is calculated as: Spot Trading Volume (last 30 days) + Futures Trading Volume (last 30 days) × 40% + Options Trading Volume × 5%(last 30 days).
4. All eligible airdrop rewards will be calculated based on the user's VIP level at the end of the event . The total token amount in each VIP tier's prize pool will be equally divided among all successfully registered users in that tier.
5. Airdrop rewards will be automatically distributed to your account within one business day after the event ends. Please check your account for the reward.
6. This event is not open to VIP 15 and VIP 16 users, market makers, enterprises, institutions, and users whose API trading volume in the past 30 days is greater than or equal to 60%.
7. Any fraudulent actions, including bulk account registration, malicious trading, self-trading, and coordinated trading, are strictly prohibited. Subaccounts and main accounts, as well as multiple accounts with the same identity information, will be considered as the same participant. Subaccount trading volumes are calculated independently. However, each KYC-verified user can only receive one reward, regardless of how many qualifying accounts they have. Any fraudulent activity or violation of the User Agreement will result in disqualification from the event.
8. Rewards from this event cannot be combined with those from other similar events on the platform.
