Deeper Dive: Explaining the Gate.io Hodler Airdrop & NESS Token
​That's a great request! Let's break down the key concepts of the Gate.io Hodler Airdrop, focusing on why it's beneficial and how it provides value through NESS and GT tokens.
​I. The Core Value Proposition of the Airdrop
​The Hodler Airdrop is essentially a loyalty reward system implemented by Gate.io, but with significant financial upside.
​1. Rewarding Loyalty (Holding GT): By holding GT (GateToken), you are showing long-term commitment to the Gate.io ecosystem. In return, Gate.io rewards you by distributing new tokens, like NESS, for free. This is a direct financial incentive for being a loyal user.
​2. Portfolio Diversification: The tokens received (NESS) are often from promising new projects. Receiving them via airdrop allows you to diversify your crypto portfolio without using additional capital to purchase them.
​3. Zero-Cost Acquisition: Since you only need to hold GT (not spend it), the NESS tokens you receive are acquired at zero direct cost. Any value NESS gains after listing is pure profit potential.
​II. Detailed Look at GT and NESS Roles
​A. GateToken (GT) - The Key
​GT is more than just a token to hold; it's an utility token that unlocks the rewards.
​Airdrop Eligibility: Holding a certain amount of GT is the sole entry requirement for the Hodler Airdrop, including the NESS distribution.
​VIP Status: Holding GT often grants higher VIP levels on the Gate.io exchange, leading to lower trading fees.
​IEO/Token Sales: GT is often used for participating in initial exchange offerings (IEOs) or other exclusive sales, offering early access to projects.
​B. NESS Token - The Reward
​While the specifics of NESS's utility will be defined by its issuing project, as an airdrop reward, it plays a crucial role:
​Early Access: You are getting NESS tokens before, or immediately upon, their major public listing/availability. This gives you an advantage in trading or staking.
​Liquidity & Trading: Once NESS is listed on Gate.io (which is usually the case for airdropped tokens), you can immediately sell or trade it for profit, or hold it if you believe in the project's long-term value.
​III. The Mechanism: How the Airdrop Calculation Works
​Gate.io typically uses a snapshot method to determine eligibility and distribution size.
​Snapshot: The exchange takes random or scheduled snapshots of users' GT holdings over a period (e.g., 7 or 14 days).
​Average Holding: The system calculates your average daily GT holding during the snapshot period.
​Distribution Ratio: The total pool of NESS tokens allocated for the airdrop is distributed based on the proportional weight of your average GT holding compared to the total GT held by all eligible users.
In simple terms: The more GT you hold, the more NESS you receive.
This deeper explanation highlights the strategic and financial benefits of participating in the Hodler Airdrop by holding GT.

Selling an order at a low price! Or my journey to the first magical chime of “ding”!
I’m describing this here in as much detail as if I were explaining to my 85-year-old father how to use a button phone—from A to Z—because for him, this device is something strange and unearthly, and I have to take a pen and paper and write everything out step by step.
Preparing the order for sale: description from top to bottom.
My journey on the exchange starts as usual: I open the app and tap on the blue circle with arrows labeled “TRADE.” It’s on the home screen, in the bottom panel, right in the center among the five sections:
1. Home.
2. Futures.
3. Trade.
4. Earn.
5. Assets.
The third button is exactly what you need to sell.
After tapping, I’m taken to a page where things get real: green “BUY” and red “SELL.” And even though I sometimes want to buy something else interesting, this time I discipline myself and choose the option that matches my goal—selling NUMI.
At the top of the screen I see the trading pair—two coins separated by a slash. Here, I change the first coin to NUMI, and select $USDT as the second. You could, of course, choose GT or ETH, but I need USDT, so I select it from the list. The NUMI/USDT pair is set—now I can continue.
1. SPOT.
First, I check that SPOT is selected.
Yes, this is important: we’re not in futures, not using leverage, not in anything that could make me poorer—just spot, calm and predictable trading.
2. SELL.
Next, I confirm that the mode selected is SELL.
After all, we came to sell NUMI, so it all makes sense.
3. LIMIT.
The next step is selecting the order type. I choose Limit because it has a lower fee and, most importantly, I can set my own price.
And who wouldn’t want to get a little more, right?
4. Price.
In the “Price” field, I set the value for one NUMI.
In my case, it’s 0.075 USDT per token.
Yes, ambitious. Yes, I may have to wait. But desire is a serious thing, and I honestly set the price I want to get.
5. Amount.
In this field, I specify the amount of NUMI I want to sell.
You can enter it manually or use the slider with five circles—it’s very visual. But I choose manual because I like precision and control.
6. Total.
Here, the amount I’ll receive if the order is filled at my price is displayed automatically. For me, it’s 11.11 USDT—a symmetric, slightly magical number.
If fate likes nice numbers, maybe it’ll sell faster, right?
7. Available.
In the “Available” section, I see the amount of NUMI available for sale.
In my case: 148.17 NUMI.
That’s the amount I can confidently list.
8. Sell.
After I’ve completed all the previous steps, checked every field, and once again told myself, “Yes, I’m really doing this,” I tap “SELL.”
A confirmation window appears: “Order Confirmation NUMI/USDT,” “sell!” in red, and a full list of my settings.
At the bottom—a black window with white text “Confirm.”
I tap it.
That’s it. I’ve officially sent my order out to sea.
I’m taken back to the trading page, and I see the message: “Order placed successfully.” A little lower—there’s the “Orders (1)” tab. That’s where my order is quietly waiting its turn—and its buyer.
When someone buys it, that beautiful sound—the “ding”—will ring out, and I’ll get a notification of a successful sale.
Summary: at this stage, the preparation process is complete, and now the hardest part is left—waiting.
Honestly: if I’d set a lower price, it would have sold long ago.
But I want a little more!
So let it hang there, and I’ll watch, learn, and at the same time sell—or rather, try to sell—my cherished order.
I promise a follow-up—when I hear that long-awaited “ding.”
And I sincerely thank my patient crypto teachers, who explain everything to me and lead me forward.
