Unlock the exchange ladder shield activity: enjoy loss subsidies and gas fee waivers

As mainstream assets experience market fluctuations, to assist users in precise position building and reduce rebalancing costs, Gate Web3 officially launches the “Exchange Unlock Ladder Shield” event. This event aims to lower users’ trial-and-error costs when capturing market opportunities by introducing a “Ladder Shield” mechanism. The user’s cumulative exchange amount will directly determine the loss subsidy ratio and cap— the higher the exchange volume, the thicker the shield. Eligible users can enjoy loss subsidies and gas fee waivers. The event enforces strict total prize pool circuit breaker and device deduplication mechanisms to protect the rights of genuine active exchangers.

Event Details

Event One: Exclusive “Trial-and-Error Insurance” for Beginners

During the event, new users making their first exchange on Gate Swap, if the first net exchange order results in a loss and the exchange amount is not less than 500 USDT equivalent, the platform will fully subsidize the gas fees and slippage losses incurred by that exchange, with a maximum of 30 USDT equivalent tokens per person. Rewards are limited to the first 1,000 unique devices that meet the criteria, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Event Two: Invite Friends to Earn 30% Exchange Rebate and 20% Self-Return Rebate

Visit the Gate Web3 invite friends page to generate an invitation link and invite friends to bind an invitation code. You can receive a 30% rebate on the latest exchange volume. If friends use a new wallet and bind the invitation code within 7 days, they will receive a 20% rebate on exchange fees.

Event Three: “Ultimate Shield” Challenge (Prize Pool Circuit Breaker)

During the event, the system will determine the “Shield Level” based on users’ accumulated exchange volume during the event. If the user ends up with an overall net loss at settlement, the platform will distribute subsidies according to the corresponding level’s ratio and cap.

Reward Distribution and Circuit Breaker Rules:

• Total Budget Cap: The total subsidy budget for this event is capped at 20,000 USDT equivalent.
• Priority Distribution Mechanism: Before the budget is exhausted, eligible unique devices will receive funds in order of highest to lowest accumulated exchange volume.
• Circuit Breaker Mechanism: Once the total budget is depleted, subsequent eligible devices, even if meeting shield level requirements, will not receive subsidies.
• Device Deduplication Rule: If multiple wallets under the same device ID participate in exchanges, only the wallet with the largest accumulated exchange volume under that device will be counted.

Important Notes

1. If the language switch does not match or the page cannot connect to the wallet, please upgrade your app to: Android 7.25.5, iOS 7.25.0.
2. Anti-fraud Mechanism: The system automatically monitors behaviors such as repeated wash trading, abnormal fund transfers, and very short-term deposits/withdrawals. The official reserves the right to flag and exclude abnormal addresses from receiving subsidies.
3. Definition of Net Loss: Net Loss = (Total token purchase cost during the event + exchange fees) - (Total sale value + token holdings value at the end of the event). If the result ≤ 0, no subsidy will be granted.
4. All airdrop rewards will be distributed within 14 working days after the event ends.
5. Users participating in multiple events during the same period can only receive one airdrop, which will be the highest one eligible.
6. Risk Warning: Token prices are highly volatile, with significant market risks. The subsidy mechanism aims to reduce users’ trial-and-error costs and does not constitute a promise of future returns.
