Gate VIP Welcome Gift Event Countdown: Upgrade to VIP 5 and Share a 500,000 USDT Prize Pool
Gate officially launches the second phase of the VIP Welcome Gift event on March 16, 2026, targeting all users planning to upgrade to VIP 5 and above, offering a multi-layered reward scheme covering newcomer packages, trading airdrops, and cash prize pools. The total prize pool for this event reaches 500,000 USDT, and users who complete their first upgrade and maintain their level until the end of the event can participate in proportional sharing.
The event runs from 20:00 on March 16, 2026, to 23:59 on April 17, 2026 (UTC+8).
Overview of the Second Phase of the VIP Welcome Gift Event
Gate’s VIP event system continues to provide users with multiple benefits, from fee reductions to exclusive airdrops. Building on the first phase, the second phase of the VIP Welcome Gift further optimizes the reward structure, designing task pathways around the three stages of “Upgrade—Trade—Share,” allowing users to gain tangible rewards while increasing their VIP level.
Participants must complete identity verification and register on the event page. Task data will be tracked starting from successful registration.
Newcomer Package: Get Exclusive Rewards Upon First Upgrade to VIP 5
During the event, users who upgrade to VIP 5 for the first time can immediately receive an exclusive newcomer package. The package is limited in quantity and available on a first-come, first-served basis until exhausted.
The newcomer package includes:
The VIP +1 experience card grants higher fee discounts and exclusive limits within 15 days, helping users experience the cost advantages of higher-tier status in actual trading.
Contract Trading Airdrop: Tiered Rewards Up to 800 USDT
Users who upgrade to VIP 5 or above for the first time and complete contract trading volume tasks during the event can unlock corresponding tiered airdrop rewards. The system awards a one-time bonus based on the highest trading threshold achieved, with each user eligible to claim only once.
Contract trading volume tiers and rewards:
Contract trading is calculated based on nominal value multiplied by leverage, providing high-frequency traders with a quick accumulation channel.
TradFi Trading Airdrop: Dual Track Unlocking
In addition to contract trading, this event also includes TradFi trading tasks. Users who upgrade to VIP 5 or above for the first time and accumulate TradFi trading volume during the event can unlock additional airdrop rewards. Rewards are also issued based on the highest tier and can only be claimed once.
TradFi trading volume tiers and rewards:
The two tracks run in parallel, allowing users to choose participation based on their trading preferences or complete both for maximum returns.
Cash Prize Pool Distribution: 500,000 USDT Allocated by Level
The core reward of this event is a total cash prize pool of 500,000 USDT. During the event, all users who successfully upgrade to VIP 5 or above (including re-upgrades for existing users) will automatically qualify for sharing. The pool will be distributed proportionally based on the VIP level user groups.
Distribution ratios for each level:
Users must maintain VIP 5 or above until the end of the event to qualify for sharing.
How to Participate in this Gate VIP Event
Here are recommended steps to join the second phase of the VIP Welcome Gift:
