Gate's Perp DEX Active Trading Challenge is now live, running from July 17 at 10:00 UTC through July 31 at 10:00 UTC, and it's built around three separate ways to earn a share of a combined 10,000 USDT prize pool.

The first and largest track is the Trading Streak Challenge, worth 6,000 USDT total. Any day a user hits at least 10,000 USDT in perp trading volume counts toward a consecutive streak. Hitting 3 consecutive days qualifies for a share of a 1,000 USDT pool, 7 consecutive days unlocks a 2,000 USDT pool, and 14 consecutive days reaches the top tier at 3,000 USDT. Each user only qualifies for their highest achieved tier, not all three stacked together, and whatever pool they land in gets split evenly among everyone who reached that same tier.

The second track is the Cumulative Trading Volume Challenge, worth 3,000 USDT. This one doesn't require daily consistency, it's based purely on total volume accumulated across the whole campaign window. Reaching 50,000 USDT in cumulative perp volume qualifies for a 500 USDT pool, 100,000 USDT unlocks 1,000 USDT, and 500,000 USDT reaches the top 1,500 USDT pool, again with only the highest qualifying tier counting per user.

The third track, worth 1,000 USDT, rewards bringing new traders in. Anyone who invites friends through their referral link during the campaign earns a share based on how many of those friends actually complete at least 50,000 USDT in cumulative perp trading themselves, not just sign up. One qualifying friend unlocks a 100 USDT pool, three unlocks 300 USDT, and five or more unlocks 600 USDT.

A few mechanical details are worth knowing before diving in. Trading volume counts both opening and closing trades combined, and only trades placed after registering for the campaign count toward any of these totals, so joining after already trading won't retroactively count earlier activity. Both API and manual trading volume count equally. Bulk account registration, wash trading, self-trading, and matched trading between linked accounts are all explicitly barred, and accounts sharing the same verified identity, including sub-accounts, can only participate once. Rewards land as Futures Bonus within 14 business days of the campaign ending, and if a final per-user reward works out to less than 1 USDT, it simply doesn't get paid out given how the pools split proportionally.

For anyone already trading perps regularly on Gate, the streak challenge is the more achievable entry point since 10,000 USDT in daily volume is a fairly reachable bar for active traders, and stacking that with the cumulative volume track means the same trading activity can count toward two separate reward pools at once. The invite track is really a bonus layer on top for anyone with a network of traders willing to actually put in real volume rather than just sign up passively.
