The Gate Alpha Points System is now live, and the limited-time RION airdrop is underway.

Gate Alpha Points System Goes Live: A New Metric for Measuring User Engagement

To enhance user participation and provide greater targeting for platform activities, Gate Alpha will officially roll out its Points System on July 29, 2025. The system evaluates users’ asset holdings, trading activity in Alpha Select, and other behaviors, assigning scores and generating cumulative Alpha Points over the past 15 days to determine qualification for ecosystem activities.

The more points a user has, the broader the range of activities they can access, including limited-time airdrops, Token Generation Events (TGE), exclusive mission rewards, and more.

How to Earn Alpha Points: Balance Points + Trading Volume Points

1. Balance Points
   The system takes a daily snapshot at 07:59:59 (UTC+8) of qualifying assets in the user's Gate centralized account and Alpha account. Points are calculated based on the USD market value.

2. Trading Volume Points
   Only buy orders placed in Alpha Select count (sell orders placed on the platform are excluded):

• For the first buy ≥2 USDT each day, earn 1 point;
• Every time the buy amount doubles, get 1 additional point (for example, 4 USDT = 2 points; 8 USDT = 3 points).

Alpha Points Utility: Airdrops, TGE Access, and Event Tickets

Alpha Points are primarily used for eligibility screening and airdrop redemption. Users can access the [Alpha Points] section in the Gate App (version 7.14.0 or later) to check their point balance and related privileges.

Each airdrop must be claimed manually. If you do not claim the reward manually, it will be automatically forfeited.
