👥 2. Team Competition: Up to 3.2 Million USDT
Teamwork takes center stage with a maximum reward allocation of 3,200,000 USDT! 🏆
Participants can create their own teams as captains or join existing teams. However, a minimum of five members is required for team leaderboard eligibility.
The competition features three ranking categories:
📊 Platform-wide eligible trading volume
📈 CFD trading volume
💵 Eligible trading profit
The team pool is allocated as follows:
- 🥇 60% toward platform-wide trading volume.
- 📈 20% toward CFD trading volume.
- 💰 20% toward trading profit.
The first competition period receives 45% of the overall team pool, while the second receives 55%.
For each leaderboard allocation, first place receives 15%, second place 10%, and third place 7%. Further allocations go to qualifying teams ranked fourth through fiftieth.
Team rewards are also distributed internally:
- 👑 Captain: 20%.
- 🔟 Top 10 eligible contributing members, excluding the captain: 40%, shared equally.
- 🤝 Remaining eligible members: 40%, shared equally.
The leading platform-wide team captain may also qualify for a custom gold medal valued at 30,000 USDT. Additional team-building bonuses of up to 1,000 USDT may be available under specific conditions.
🧑💻 3. Solo Competition: Up to 400,000 USDT
Prefer trading independently? The solo competition offers another opportunity to compete! 🎯
The maximum pool is 400,000 USDT, and participants need at least 20,000 USDT in eligible converted trading volume to qualify for the main leaderboard.
The reward structure includes:
- 🥇 First place: 15%.
- 🥈 Second place: 10%.
- 🥉 Third place: 7%.
- 📊 Additional rewards for eligible participants ranked fourth through three hundredth.
If the entire 400,000 USDT pool is unlocked, the first-place allocation would equal 60,000 USDT.
Additional futures position vouchers are available for selected participants ranked 301–1,000. Depending on rank, vouchers may be worth 150 USDT, 100 USDT, or 50 USDT, with a separate allocation for certain lower-ranked participants.
⚠️ Remember that futures position vouchers have specific usage conditions and are not freely withdrawable cash.
⚔️ 4. Event Contract PK: Up to 400,000 USDT
Want a different challenge? The event contract PK competition focuses on short-term BTC/USDT market direction. ₿
Participants are randomly matched, and each session lasts 30 minutes, covering up to six consecutive five-minute event contract markets.
A market counts as a win when qualifying trading reaches at least 10 USDT and the combined settled net profit for that market is positive.
🏅 Scoring highlights:
- ✅ A winning round earns 100 points.
- 🤝 Certain tied outcomes award 30 points to each participant.
- 🔥 Three consecutive winning rounds add 150 points.
- 🚀 Five consecutive wins add another 200 points at the specified milestones.
To qualify for leaderboard rewards, participants must complete at least one valid round, achieve 5,000 USDT in eligible converted volume, and finish among the top 300 eligible participants.
The maximum pool is 400,000 USDT, with first place allocated 15% if the applicable pool is fully unlocked.
📊 5. Trading Volume Multipliers Explained
Different trading products contribute different amounts toward eligible competition volume.
📌 Published conversion weights:
- 💱 Spot, ETF, and Convert: 150%.
- 📈 Stocks and event contracts: 200%.
- 🔄 Futures and other qualifying contracts: 100%.
- 📉 Options: 50%.
- 📊 CFD: 5%.
For example, 1,000 USDT in eligible spot trading contributes 1,500 USDT in converted volume, while 1,000 USDT in eligible futures trading contributes 1,000 USDT.
These multipliers affect leaderboard calculations, not actual trading profits.
⚠️ CFD volume is measured separately for its dedicated leaderboard. Unfilled orders, cancelled orders, transfers, and activity flagged as abnormal do not qualify.
💎 6. How the 6 Million USDT Prize Pool Is Distributed
The maximum advertised campaign pool combines four major allocations:
🏆 Team competition: 3,200,000 USDT
🎯 Solo competition: 400,000 USDT
⚔️ Event contract PK: 400,000 USDT
🎁 Additional campaign rewards: 2,000,000 USDT
The main competition pools increase according to valid participant milestones and reach their maximum allocations at 500,000 valid participants. Participants count toward this milestone after reaching at least 5,000 USDT in converted trading volume during the competition.
The additional campaign opportunities make the event even broader! 🌍
🎁 7. Lucky Launch and Bonus Opportunities
The Lucky Launch Zone advertises a 725,000 USDT prize pool.
Participants can receive one free opportunity through their first eligible event-page visit. Additional opportunities may be earned through qualifying daily trading activities, referrals, sharing, VIP milestones, and first-time product activities.
Examples of published daily activity thresholds include:
- 💱 500 USDT in spot trading volume.
- 📈 1,000 USDT in futures trading volume.
- 📊 300 USDT in stock trading volume.
- 🎯 100 USDT in certain qualifying Alpha or Idle Money Treasure activities.
Other campaign programs include a 1,000,000 USDT Global Trading Carnival pool, a 200,000 USDT new-user reward pool, a 20,000 USDT team-milestone pool, a 5,000 USDT early team-formation pool, and a 50,000 USDT Gate Live reward pool.
Eligible referrals, first-time futures traders, and qualifying teams may unlock additional rewards under their respective conditions.
🎁 Potential prizes include USDT, tokens, futures position vouchers, fee-rebate vouchers, stock-related rewards, and merchandise.
🛡️ 8. Eligibility, Rules, and Risk Management
Certain participants are excluded under the published rules, including API users, VIP 15 and above, market makers, corporate and institutional accounts, and sub-accounts.
🚫 Wash trading, self-trading, market manipulation, fake referrals, mass account registration, and attempts to exploit system vulnerabilities can result in disqualification.
Rewards are scheduled for distribution within 15 business days after the competition ends and the review is completed. Voucher restrictions, regional limitations, and other eligibility requirements may apply.
🔥 My Final Thoughts
Gate WCTC S9 offers multiple ways to compete, whether you prefer team collaboration, individual trading, or event contract challenges.
The smartest strategy is to choose the track that suits your experience, understand the qualifying requirements, and protect your capital. Do not increase leverage or trading frequency simply to chase leaderboard rewards. ⚠️
Remember, 6 million USDT represents the maximum combined campaign pool—not guaranteed earnings for every participant.
📌 Study the rules. Build a strategy. Manage your risk. Compete responsibly!
