#PTB Creative Contest
Currently, there is an exciting CandyDrop and Launchpool event live on Gate.io, giving users multiple ways to participate and earn rewards. This campaign offers both trading-based rewards and staking opportunities, with a massive prize pool waiting to be shared among participants. If you’ve been looking for a chance to maximize your earnings while exploring new tokens, this is definitely the right time to get involved.
CandyDrop is Gate.io’s airdrop platform where users can do simple tasks to earn free tokens called “candy.” This round features Portal To Bitcoin (PTB) with a prize pool of 3,157,894 PTB. By trading, you can collect candy which is later converted into PTB. Each user can earn up to 3,000 PTB.
Prize pools:
* First Futures Trading: 500,000 PTB (new futures traders who trade at least 500 USDT get 300 PTB, first-come, first-served)
* Futures Trading: 1,328,947 PTB (up to 1,200 PTB per user)
* VIP User Trading: 1,328,947 PTB (up to 1,500 PTB per user)
Event period: September 3, 2025, 13:10 (UTC) – September 13, 2025, 14:00 (UTC)
How to join:
1. First-time futures traders who trade 500 USDT or more will get 300 PTB.
2. Regular traders who reach these volumes get candies and share the pool:
* 1,000 USDT = 1 candy
* 2,000 USDT = 3 candies
* 5,000 USDT = 5 candies
Max reward: 1,200 PTB.
3. VIP5 and above traders who reach:
* 30,000 USDT = 1 candy
* 50,000 USDT = 2 candies
Max reward: 1,500 PTB.
Alongside CandyDrop, Gate.io has also launched Launchpool Project #309: Portal To Bitcoin (PTB). This allows users to stake either BTC or PTB tokens and share from a reward pool of 2,368,421 PTB tokens, with rewards distributed hourly.
Key details:
* Staking period: September 4, 2025, 03:00 (UTC) – September 14, 2025, 03:00 (UTC)
* Total rewards: 2,368,421 PTB
* Maximum staking amount per user: 30 BTC or 500,000 PTB
* Minimum staking amount: 0.000001 BTC
* Unlock method: 100 percent unlockable after the event ends
Bonus opportunity: Users who stake BTC and then transfer redeemed funds into the Simple Earn 7-Day Fixed Term product will get an extra 35 percent airdrop reward on top of their regular staking earnings.
My personal experience in the campaign:
I decided to join both CandyDrop and Launchpool to maximize my chances of earning PTB rewards. On the CandyDrop side, I’ve already completed the Tier 1 task (futures trading of at least 1,000 USDT) and successfully earned my reward. For Tier 2, I’m currently halfway through, and I plan to continue trading until I complete it.
For Launchpool, I staked 23.97 PTB, which is now earning me an impressive APR of 222.91%. Watching those rewards accumulate in real-time is both exciting and motivating.
Do not miss out on these campaigns join now, complete the tasks, and enjoy the rewards that come with being an active Gate.io user.
