What Is Gate CandyDrop?
CandyDrop is an innovative airdrop platform by Gate, built on a Task-Driven Participation model. Users earn Candy by completing designated tasks—examples include specified trading volume, depositing specific tokens, and inviting new users to register—then exchange Candy for project token airdrops. Gate maintains high standards for project selection, focusing on mature or high-potential projects so rewards are credible and participants can encounter higher-quality assets.
The CandyDrop product page frames the product as Complete tasks to claim airdrops; the Launch menu tag reads Collect candies to earn airdrops. Any single campaign may add eligibility filters without changing the platform definition.
How Do You Access CandyDrop and Join a Task?
Gate documents four access paths. Web: top navigation Earn → Launch → CandyDrop. App: tap the Profile Icon in the top-left corner, scroll to More Services → Launch → CandyDrop. Announcements: click Join Now on the active campaign page. Search: use the search bar or Gate AI for CandyDrop.
On a specific project’s CandyDrop page, click Join Now to claim that project’s tasks. CandyDrop uses an opt-in mechanism: you choose whether to join by project preference. Only users who click Join Now and complete tasks receive reward-allocation eligibility. The system starts counting valid task data only after Join Now is activated.

What Task Types Exist and How Is Volume Calculated?
Only actions completed inside each project’s official campaign period are counted. Spot trading counts cumulative volume for designated pairs; volume = buys + sells. Futures trading counts cumulative open and close value for designated contracts; volume = open value + close value. Each project specifies which pairs or contracts qualify unless the campaign states otherwise.
Deposit tasks track net deposits from external wallets during the event. Net Deposit = on-chain deposits − (on-chain withdrawals + internal transfer-out + P2P sells). Withdrawals after joining still affect net deposit data. Referral tasks require inviting friends through your exclusive referral link; Candy is granted only after the invitee completes KYC verification and the required trading tasks.
New users must wait one hour after registration before first futures or first spot trading tasks. Users can participate in only one First Trade task at a time, so compare active campaigns before joining. After completing trading, deposit, or referral tasks, Candy and volume typically sync within one to three hours.
How Are Airdrop Rewards Calculated and When Are They Paid?
Three reward calculation modes apply:
Reward mode
How it is calculated
Candy pool
(Your Candy ÷ Total Candy of all users) × Reward pool
Volume-based pool
(Your designated trading volume ÷ Total designated volume) × Reward pool
Fixed rewards
A set amount granted when the task is completed
Every project applies an individual cap (maximum limit) per user. Final calculations occur after the event ends. Airdrops are typically distributed to your Spot Account within 14 working days. Check records under Assets → Transaction History. Candy is project-specific and does not carry over: Candy earned in the current period is valid only for that project and expires when the event ends—it cannot be accumulated or transferred to future campaigns.
These formulas follow the Gate CandyDrop FAQ; pool size and caps always follow the live campaign page.

Who Can Participate and What Limits Apply?
Only main accounts are eligible to participate in CandyDrop and earn Candy. Sub-accounts cannot participate; sub-account trading volume or assets are not counted separately. Using multiple sub-accounts to farm rewards is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification. Campaign announcements may add further restrictions—for example excluding market makers, corporate or institutional accounts, or limiting special campaigns to accounts registered before a stated cutoff. Restricted regions may be unable to use all or part of CandyDrop; read the user agreement and the live campaign page.
Digital asset markets involve material risk from price volatility, policy, and product rules. Educational copy is not investment advice. Gate holds final interpretation rights for each campaign as stated in announcements; where translations differ, the English version prevails.
How Should You Read a Live Campaign Example?
Treat each CandyDrop listing as its own rule set. As an illustration only, the CandyDrop returning-user special was limited to users registered before 2026-08-25 00:00 (UTC+8); ran from 2026-08-25 18:00 to 2026-09-08 18:00 (UTC+8); and awarded 1 Candy when cumulative futures volume of any token (open + close) was ≥ 1 USDT, sharing a 1 BTC pool with a per-user sharing cap of 0.001 BTC. Participants must click the campaign-page Participate / Join Now button, successfully join, then complete campaign tasks and identity verification; rewards are paid to the user account within 14 working days after the event; sub-accounts cannot participate. Always verify eligibility, candy rules, and caps on the live product page and the matching announcement before acting.
