These points are generated based on users' daily trading activity, asset holdings, and participation frequency in events. The system uses behavioral data from the most recent 15 days to perform rolling calculations.

Points Are More Than Just Numbers

In the Gate Alpha model, points are more than just a set of numbers in your account—they represent your overall engagement on the platform. Points are earned through daily trading, holding assets, and how frequently you participate in events, with the system calculating your score based on your activity over the past 15 days on a rolling basis. Unlike one-off rewards, your point total adjusts dynamically with your level of activity. Only consistent participation will keep your score at a high level.

How Points Are Calculated

The system assigns a daily score based on your engagement, then adds up the previous 15 days to determine your final point total. For example:

  • If you earn 10 points per day, you’d have 150 points after 15 days.
  • If you skip days without trading or activity, your total will drop accordingly.

This rolling calculation discourages “one-time activity, long-term inactivity,” ensuring your point score accurately reflects your continued involvement.

Core Value of Points

The real value of Gate Alpha points is that they provide entry to the platform’s core activities, rather than just acting as a ranking tool. The more points you have, the more privileges you unlock, such as:

  • Participation in exclusive Alpha Zone airdrops
  • Priority access to Token Generation Event (TGE) projects
  • Enhanced trading activity rewards
  • Access to exclusive token mystery box events

In essence, points serve as your VIP pass within Gate Alpha.

Point Usage and Circulation

Points aren’t just for accumulating; participation in some events requires you to spend points, creating a self-reinforcing cycle:

Stay active, then earn points, then join activities, then spend points, then stay active again. Highly active users can continue to participate in new events, while lower-activity users gradually lose their competitive edge.

How to Accumulate Points Quickly

New users can quickly accumulate points by following these methods:

  1. Maintain frequent trades: Make purchases daily, especially in the Select Zone, with a trade volume of at least 128 USDT.
  2. Join events actively: Limited-time bounties and trading contests both go toward your point total.
  3. Hold assets: Keeping a certain amount of tokens in your account also increases your points.
  4. Check in consistently: Consecutive daily trades unlock bonus rewards, further boosting your points.

Points measure overall engagement and cannot be rapidly increased through a single action.

Participation Rules and Important Notes

Before you can benefit from the points system, you must complete identity verification and sign the platform agreement. Gate Alpha strictly prohibits cheating, including wash trading, self-trading, or creating multiple accounts. Please note:

  • Points are calculated using a 15-day rolling window—they do not accumulate permanently.
  • Airdrops and event rewards are limited in quantity; if you don’t claim them in time, they will no longer be available.

If you want to remain competitive long-term, you need to stay engaged with Gate Alpha’s daily ecosystem activities.

Summary

Gate Alpha points are more than just a tally of your activity—they’re the key to unlocking exclusive events and top-tier projects. As the Alpha Zone launches more new projects, points will become even more valuable. For anyone aiming for long-term involvement in the Web3 ecosystem, maintaining your points is a smart and cost-effective strategy.
