Because Gate.io (which recently underwent a brand upgrade to Gate.com) updates its events, campaigns, and airdrops daily, the exact lineup changes constantly.
The exchange generally categorizes all active events into five core hubs. Navigating directly to these sections on the main platform will provide the most current list:
1. Gate Startup (Initial Free Airdrops)
This is typically the most active "event" hub on the platform. It features launchpad events where users can stake assets—usually GateToken (GT), USDT, or specific pool tokens—to claim free airdrops of newly listing projects before they officially start trading.
2. Activities & Campaigns Hub
Located under the "Promotions" or "Activities" tab on the homepage, this section aggregates all active trading competitions, net deposit rewards, and social media giveaways. These events usually feature prize pools ranging from $5,000 to over $100,000 in specific project tokens for meeting certain trading volume milestones.
3. HODLer Airdrops
A recurring event structure specifically for GT holders. By maintaining a minimum balance of GateToken (GT) in a spot account, users are automatically eligible to claim periodic slices of massive airdrop pools without needing to lock up or freeze their funds.
4. Gate Post & Trading Bots Events
Gate frequently hosts community-driven events within its social feed ("Post") and copy-trading sections. These include rewards for creating highly-copied trading bots, participating in prediction markets
5. New User Rewards Hub
If you are opening a new account or have recently registered, the Rewards Hub tracks specific onboarding events. These usually include tasks like completing identity verification (KYC), completing a first-time fiat onramp or deposit, and hitting initial spot/futures trading goals to unlock contract vouchers or point rewards.
