Event 1: VIP 5 New User Gift Pack

VIP Growth Camp: 15-Day VIP 5 Experience Card

During the event, users who meet any of the following conditions can register to receive a VIP 5 experience card, valid for 15 days, during which they can unlock low-fee benefits for the corresponding level:

• Average net assets of at least 20,000 USDT over 1 day or 30 days
• Contract trading volume of at least 1,000,000 USDT over the past 30 days

The experience card can be claimed via: 【My】 - 【Coupon Center】 - 【VIP Experience Card】.

VIP Newcomer Gift: Asset Upgrade and Trading Upgrade Dual Channels

During the event, users who upgrade to VIP 5 for the first time can unlock corresponding newcomer gift packs based on their upgrade method:

• Asset Upgrade Path: Receive a 10% USDT seven-day financial management interest coupon (total quota of 30,000 USDT) and a 100 USDT position experience coupon.
• Trading Upgrade Path: Receive a 50 USDT contract trial fund and a 100 USDT position experience coupon.

The newcomer gift packs aim to lower the initial participation costs for new VIP users and provide practical scenarios for experiencing core platform features.

Event 2: Contract Trading Tiered Airdrop, Up to 1,500 USDT

During the event, users who upgrade to VIP 5 and above for the first time and reach specified cumulative contract trading volumes can unlock corresponding tiered airdrop rewards. Rewards are distributed based on the highest qualifying tier, and each user can only claim once.

Contract trading is one of the core application scenarios of the Gate VIP system. For example, a user with a monthly trading volume of $545.02M, after upgrading from VIP 0 to VIP 5, can save approximately $12,500 in contract fees each month. Combined with this activity’s contract airdrop rewards, the cost advantage will be further amplified.

Event 3: TradFi Trading Tiered Airdrop, Up to 1,000 USDT

During the event, users who upgrade to VIP 5 and above for the first time and complete TradFi trading volume can unlock corresponding tiered airdrop rewards. Rewards are distributed based on the highest qualifying tier, and each user can only claim once.

TradFi trading volume accounts for 10% of the comprehensive trading volume in Gate VIP level assessment. Participating in such trades can improve your level evaluation and earn additional airdrop rewards in this activity.

Event 4: Spot Trading Tiered Airdrop, Up to 500 USDT

During the event, users who upgrade to VIP 5 and above for the first time and complete spot trading volume can unlock corresponding tiered airdrop rewards. Rewards are distributed based on the highest qualifying tier, and each user can only claim once.

Spot trading is the basic trading scenario for most users. At VIP 5 level, spot trading fees can be reduced to 0.10%, significantly lower than the 0.20% at VIP 0. Level 4’s spot airdrop provides additional incentives for users who participate in spot trading continuously.

Event 5: VIP Airdrop Carnival, Share 800,000 USDT Cash Prize Pool

During the event, users who upgrade to VIP 5 and above (including re-upgraded old users) will automatically qualify to share the total prize pool of 800,000 USDT. The pool will be distributed proportionally based on the total number of users in each level:

Participation requires maintaining VIP 5 or above until the end of the event. Higher levels correspond to a larger share of the prize pool.

VIP Upgrade Path and Evaluation Mechanism

Gate VIP system adopts a dual-track evaluation standard based on “trading volume in the past 30 days” and “average daily GT holdings.” The system automatically selects the higher of the two indicators to determine user level, with adjustments made on the first day of each month based on the previous calendar month’s data.

As of April 23, 2026, GT price is $7.38. At the current price, reaching VIP 5 requires holding approximately 20,000 GT, equivalent to about $147,600 in assets.

Trading volume includes spot, leverage, and contract trading. Contract trading is calculated by multiplying the nominal value by leverage, with full amount counting. For example, opening a $100,000 position with 10x leverage results in a trading volume of $1,000,000 as per system statistics.

Users who become Gate VIP members also enjoy benefits such as lower fees, exclusive high-yield financial products, customized lending rates, one-on-one account managers, and exclusive event invitations.

Conclusion

Celebrating Gate’s 13th anniversary, this VIP welcome event offers new VIP 5 and above users a concentrated window to obtain newcomer gift packs, tiered airdrops, and cash prize pools. The combined rewards can significantly reduce trading costs and capital usage thresholds. The event ends on May 20, 2026.
