Event Period: October 22, 2026, 08:00 – November 5, 2026, 00:00 (UTC)

Important: Daily check-ins and trading volume requirements within the event are calculated based on calendar days in the UTC+0 time zone.

Reward 1: New User First-Trade Reward. Receive 5.5 USDT upon completion

During the event period, the first 1,000 new users who complete their first trade in their Event Contracts account (with no specified underlying) and whose first-trade net purchase value is ≥ 20 USDT will receive 5.5 USDT Event Contracts Voucher. Rewards are available while supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reward 2: Trading Check-In. Share a 10,000 USDT Prize Pool

During the event, users can check in daily by completing at least 3 trades in crypto markets (including INDEX and TWAP markets) and reaching a total daily trading volume of at least 20 USDT.

Example: Completing one trade in the BTC 5-minute (INDEX) market, one trade in the BTC 5-minute (TWAP) market, and one trade in the ETH 15-minute (INDEX) market meets the requirement.

Users who check in on at least 3 days will share the dedicated 10,000 USDT prize pool in proportion to their total check-in days relative to the total check-in days of all qualifying users. Rewards are capped at 10 USDT per user.

Reward 3: Guaranteed Trading Rewards of Up to 140 USDT

During the event period, users who meet the daily cumulative trading volume requirement in the crypto category (including INDEX and TWAP markets) can claim the corresponding rewards:

  • Tier A: Daily cumulative trading volume ≥ 500 USDT; daily reward: 2.5 USDT

  • Tier B: Daily cumulative trading volume ≥ 1,000 USDT; daily reward: 10 USDT

Rules:

  1. Users may receive rewards from only one tier; rewards cannot be combined;

  2. Users must meet any tier’s trading volume requirement on at least 7 valid days during the event period to qualify for rewards;

  3. Meet the Tier B requirement every day throughout the event to claim up to 140 USDT.

Reward 4: Peak Trading Competition

During the event, users with cumulative trading volume of at least 20,000 USDT across any underlying assets will share a dedicated 30,000 USDT prize pool in proportion to their trading volume relative to the total trading volume of all qualifying users. Rewards are capped at 1,000 USDT per user.

Event 2: Peak Leaderboard

During the event, users with cumulative trading volume of at least 150,000 USDT across any underlying assets can receive a guaranteed minimum reward of 1,000 USDT. Users will also be ranked by cumulative trading volume from highest to lowest, with the top 10 receiving additional fixed rewards:

Rewards

4,000 USDT

2nd Place – 3rd Place

3,000 USDT

4th – 10th Place

Rule: Users with cumulative trading volume of at least 150,000 USDT who do not rank in the top 10 may participate in the trading volume reward pool under Reward 1. Users who receive a top 10 ranking reward will not participate in the prize pool distribution.

Reward Claim Instructions:

  1. Reward 1 (New User First-Trade Reward) may be claimed in combination with any one of Rewards 2, 3, and 4. Rewards 2, 3, and 4 are mutually exclusive.

  2. After the event ends, the system will automatically compare the rewards each user is eligible for and distribute only the highest-value reward tier. Multiple reward tiers cannot be claimed simultaneously.

What Are Event Contracts?

Event Contracts are trading products based on predicting price direction. To trade, predict whether the underlying price will rise or fall over a short period, such as 5 or 15 minutes, choose Up or Down, enter an amount, and submit your order.

What Is the INDEX (Contract Index Price) Market?

Gate Event Contracts is launching the new contract index price market, offering both TWAP and INDEX pricing benchmarks. The INDEX market uses Gate's futures index price as its settlement price reference. The TWAP market will continue to use the existing time-weighted average price for settlement and will remain available. The INDEX market currently supports 5-minute and 15-minute markets for BTC and ETH. The two market types operate independently, allowing users to choose their preferred price reference when trading.

One-Click Trading Feature Overview

The one-click trading feature simplifies order placement, lowers the participation threshold, and supports a high-concurrency, low-latency trading experience. Users can directly select preset 5/20/100 USDT quick-trade cards or customize the trade amount. Clicking a card opens a position immediately, helping users efficiently capture short-term market opportunities.

Important Notes:

  1. All participants must complete Identity Verification before claiming and using rewards.

  2. Only users who register and trade Event Contracts during the event are eligible for rewards. Only trading volume generated after registration and before the event ends will count.

  3. Rewards will be credited to user accounts within 14 business days after the event ends.

  4. All rewards from this event are issued as Event Contracts Vouchers. Reward 1 is issued immediately, while Rewards 2, 3, and 4 are issued after the event ends. Vouchers have the same face value as USDT and can be used at a 1:1 value for Event Contracts trading. For eligible uses and validity, please refer to the official voucher instructions.

  5. Bulk registration of additional accounts, deliberate trading volume manipulation, self-trading, matched orders, and other fraudulent behavior are strictly prohibited. Multiple accounts held by the same verified user will be treated as a single account. Users found engaging in prohibited behavior will be disqualified, and any rewards already distributed will be reclaimed.

  6. All reward pools for this event are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis until fully distributed.
