Gate Contract Points Acquisition Complete Guide: Trading, Holding Positions, Inviting, Unlock Multiple Rewards

Open the Gate platform and go to the contract trading page. Users may notice a subtle but promising feature: Contract Points System. Launched in October 2025, this system is quietly changing the way users interact with the platform.

Every day, the system generates a personalized “Comprehensive Score” for each user based on their trading behavior, asset holdings, and engagement over the past 15 days—this is the Gate Contract Points.

Core Mechanism

Gate Contract Points are not just simple trading reward points but a carefully designed system that assigns value to user behaviors. Essentially, it converts users’ trading activities, asset holdings, and community contributions on the platform into quantifiable rights tokens.

The system operates on a daily settlement basis, calculating points based on the user’s overall performance over the previous 15 days, with distribution occurring the next day. This real-time feedback mechanism allows users to clearly see how their participation translates into actual rights.

The points system adheres to the principle of “More effort, more rewards; holding coins, more benefits.” Whether you’re an active trader, a long-term holder, or a community builder, you can find a suitable way to earn points. More importantly, these points are not just numbers—they can be exchanged for real benefits.

Three Main Ways to Earn

Efficient accumulation of points requires understanding and combining the following three methods. Each has its own rules and strategies.

Contract Trading Points are the most direct and core way to earn. Gate awards points based on the user’s effective daily contract trading volume (including opening and closing positions) according to a tiered system. Starting from 400 USDT trading volume, users earn 1 point, with subsequent tiers increasing progressively.

Here’s a key point: There is no cap on trading points. The larger the trading volume, the higher the earning efficiency. Limited-time activities like “Double Trading Points” are excellent opportunities to accelerate accumulation.

Account Balance Points embody the concept of “holding coins to generate income.” Even on days without trading activity, as long as the user holds assets like USDT and BTC in their contract account, they can earn stable points.

The system snapshots the total assets in the contract account daily and awards fixed points based on balance ranges. For example, maintaining an account balance above 1,000 USDT allows you to earn 2 points daily.

Note that funds in financial accounts like Yuebi Bao are not included; only assets in the contract account are counted.

Invitation Points are community network growth rewards. Inviting new users to join Gate and participate in contract trading can expand your points sources. Currently, there are two main invitation reward modes: regular invitations and Telegram mini-program invitations.

For each successfully invited new user who earns at least 2 points that day, the inviter receives points, with a daily cap of 3 points. Inviting friends via the Gate Telegram mini-program grants 3 points per successful invite, significantly boosting efficiency.

Benefits and Usage

What tangible benefits can accumulated points be exchanged for within the Gate ecosystem? Understanding these scenarios helps users better plan their points utilization.

Redeeming High-Value Airdrops is one of the most attractive uses of contract points. Holding at least 1 point allows participation in Gate’s periodic selected project token airdrops. Historical data shows that such airdrops can yield substantial returns per account.

Exchanging Practical Items offers convenience for daily trading. On the points page, users can directly redeem cash tokens, position experience vouchers, trial funds, and more. These resources can be used for simulated trading, margin supplementation, or fee discounts, flexibly improving capital efficiency.

Gaining Ecosystem Privileges reflects long-term value. Points serve as “tickets” to access more advanced activities within the Gate ecosystem, such as priority participation in TGE (Token Generation Event) subscriptions, providing early access to promising new assets at favorable terms.

Advanced Strategies

After mastering the basic earning methods, how can users maximize their points? The following strategies will help you utilize the system more efficiently.

Combination Strategies are key to improving efficiency. Don’t rely on a single method. During market volatility, you can adjust your trading volume accordingly; meanwhile, keep a certain amount of assets in your contract account to earn daily balance points; and actively invite trusted trading friends to broaden your sources.

Using a multi-pronged approach ensures optimal points accumulation.

Participating in Activities can significantly boost earning efficiency. Gate regularly launches limited-time events like “Double Points,” “Balance Points Doubling,” etc. Participating actively in these events can help accumulate points at a higher rate.

System Integration creates a compounding effect. Combining points earnings with Gate VIP tier discounts and point card deduction mechanisms can build a multi-dimensional cost-saving system, maximizing overall benefits.

Important Reminders

While actively earning points, users must pay attention to some key rules and risk warnings to avoid losing benefits or taking unnecessary risks.

Pay Attention to Point Validity Period. Contract points are valid for 15 days from the date of issuance and are consumed on a FIFO (First-In-First-Out) basis. Users should regularly check their point balances and plan redemptions accordingly to prevent expiration.

Always Trade Rationally. This is the most important point. Points are an additional reward for rational trading, not the primary goal. All trading decisions should be based on your risk tolerance and market judgment.

Engaging in trades beyond your risk capacity solely to earn points can lead to financial losses and contradicts the system’s design to encourage reasonable participation.

Future Outlook

Logging into your Gate contract account, the figures for trading volume, position market value, and invited users will keep updating, with corresponding points increasing accordingly. Every contract trade you make becomes a driver for points growth.

Points can be exchanged for high-value project tokens, such as in Gate’s 13th GUSD airdrop, where a single account earned up to $30.

Accumulated points can also be redeemed for practical position experience vouchers or cash tokens, directly offsetting trading costs. Some long-term participants, through systematic earning and redemption of points, have already accumulated benefits exceeding $2,400 in actual value.
