What is the overall return of the Gate contract points history? The highest return over 6 months exceeds 2,600 USDT.

In encrypted contract trading, every time you open and close a position, besides causing fluctuations in profit and loss, it quietly accumulates a piece of “invisible wealth” — Gate contract points. This incentive program launched in October 2025 has already become an industry-first contract trading rewards initiative.

Key Takeaway: A Snapshot of Historical Earnings Data

As of April 9, 2026, the Gate contract points system has delivered an impressive report card:

• Total user coverage: Airdrops worth approximately 3.7 million USDT have been distributed to more than 264k users
• Highest historical earnings per account: An individual account’s cumulative maximum earnings redeemed through points have exceeded 2,600 USDT
• Latest redemption ratio reference: In the 104th round airdrop, 15 points redeem for 25 GUSD (about 1.67 USDT/point), and 20 points redeem for a 100 USDT position experience voucher (about 5 USDT/point)

Gate Contract Points Earnings Timeline

The Gate contract points system officially launched on October 14, 2025, and has been running for about 6 months to date. Here are earnings milestones across different stages:

October 2025 — Early stage of system rollout

Just over the first ten days after launch, Gate completed 10 rounds of points airdrops, covering 10 popular coins in total. Cumulative single-order earnings reached 438 USD, and the highest airdropped single-order gain in a single round exceeded 120 USD. The rollout immediately demonstrated strong earning potential.

November 2025 — Accelerated growth

After more than a month since launch, Gate completed 30 rounds of airdrops, with participation single-account cumulative earnings surpassing 1,300 USD. The value of the points system started being recognized by an increasing number of users.

December 2025 — Explosive scale

On December 25, the Gate contract points system launched 50 rounds, covering over 60 popular coins in total. Cumulative single-order earnings exceeded 2,400 USD, and the highest airdropped single-order gain in a single round exceeded 127 USD.

February 2026 — Major system upgrade

Starting February 9, 2026, the trading volume and account balances of Gate TradFi products (gold, foreign exchange, stock indexes, and stocks) were officially included in the scope of points statistics. This means that when users trade gold spot on Gate, 20% of their trading volume can be converted into valid contract points trading volume. Even during periods when the Crypto market is in a bear phase with low volatility, users can still accumulate contract points through diversified asset allocation.

March 2026 — New historical high

As of March, the Gate contract points system has distributed airdrop rewards worth approximately 3.7 million USDT to more than 264k users, and the cumulative maximum earnings for a single account have exceeded 2,600 USDT.

April 2026 — Ongoing

As of April 9, the Gate contract points system has continued to launch more than 100 rounds of airdrops. The 104th and 105th rounds airdrops are ongoing: 15 points can be redeemed for 25 GUSD, and 20 points can be redeemed for a 100 USDT position experience voucher.

Breakdown of Earnings Cases: Over-Reward from Popular Projects

The most imaginative use of Gate contract points is exchanging points for early airdrops of popular new assets.

In the 63rd round contract points airdrop, users spend 130 points to redeem 10,000 PUMP; in the 73rd round airdrop, 120 points redeem for 460 DEEP. If these new assets increase in value later, the actual return rate of points would be far higher than the yield from directly redeeming stablecoins.

Points Accumulation Mechanism and Earnings Logic

After understanding historical earnings data, you also need to know how these earnings are generated. Gate contract points mainly come from three channels:

• Contract trading: For every 400 USDT in contract trading volume completed, you earn 1 point — more work, more reward, with no cap
• Asset holdings: The system takes daily snapshots of USDT and BTC assets in contract accounts, and issues points based on the balance range — hold 100–1,000 USDT per day to earn 1 point, hold 1,000–10,000 USDT per day to earn 2 points, hold 10,000–100,000 USDT per day to earn 3 points, and hold more than 100,000 USDT per day to earn 4 points
• Invite a friend: For every new user successfully invited to participate in contract trading, the inviter can receive a reward

Hard Rules for Points Validity Period

It’s important to note that each batch of points has a validity period of 15 days from the time it is issued. It follows a “first in, first out” principle: points automatically expire after the deadline and cannot be restored. To maximize the value of points, it’s recommended to check your account points status regularly to avoid losing them due to forgetting.

Summary

Overall, since the Gate contract points system launched in October 2025, it has created total airdrop rewards exceeding 3.7 million USDT, and the highest historical earnings per account have surpassed 2,600 USDT. For users who conduct contract trading on a daily basis, this is an additional “hidden return.” More importantly, with the inclusion of TradFi trading and the continuous expansion of points redemption scenarios, the application value of Gate contract points is still growing.
