#CandyDrop1BTCForOldUsers
Gate’s latest CandyDrop campaign is bringing a different kind of comeback opportunity for eligible existing users, with a total prize pool of 1 BTC attached to the event.
What makes this campaign stand out is the relatively small qualifying-volume requirement stated in the event details. Eligible users can receive 1 Candy after reaching at least 1 USDT of qualifying futures trading volume, with both opening and closing activity counted toward the requirement.
The campaign window is also clearly defined: it runs from August 25, 2026, at 18:00 UTC+8 until September 8, 2026, at 18:00 UTC+8. The eligibility cutoff is August 25, 2026, at 00:00 UTC+8, meaning the campaign is specifically aimed at users who already had an account before that time.
The bigger attraction is the 1 BTC reward pool. However, the headline figure should not be confused with a guaranteed individual payout. Final rewards depend on the campaign’s eligibility requirements, distribution mechanism, and applicable terms.
There is also an important distinction between the reward mechanics and the trading activity used to qualify. Futures contracts carry real market and leverage risks, so a low qualifying threshold does not mean the underlying activity is low-risk.
From a campaign perspective, Gate is clearly using a low-entry-volume structure to reconnect with existing users while creating additional engagement around its futures ecosystem. The interesting part is not simply the 1 BTC headline, but how the reward distribution works and how many eligible users ultimately compete for the pool.
If you are reviewing the event, focus on the details that actually determine eligibility: registration date, qualifying volume, event timing, reward calculation, and distribution rules. Those details matter far more than the promotional headline.
The campaign is live, the window is limited, and the terms should be checked carefully before making any decisions. A reward can be attractive, but understanding the mechanics always comes first.
