Gate Perpetual Contract Value Accumulation
In most contract trading scenarios, an order’s lifecycle ends at closing, with profit and loss as the only outcome that remains. For long-term market participants, however, the real investment includes frequent trades, capital allocation, and the cumulative intensity of executing strategies. Yet, these efforts often disappear completely after settlement and cannot be leveraged again.
Gate’s Futures Points Program directly addresses this structural gap. It transforms the trading process into a resource that can be preserved and accumulated, enabling participants to retain not just the results but also value that continues to benefit them in the future.
Contract Points: An Integral Part of Trading
Unlike short-term tasks or limited-time rewards, contract points do not require users to complete extra actions. As long as you trade contracts, hold assets in your account, or expand community participation through invitations, the system automatically converts these routine activities into points. Points are not consumed immediately; instead, they serve as a strategic asset for future use. Traders can redeem and use them at their own pace.
Fully Automated Design Lowers Barriers to Entry
The system handles all calculation and issuance of contract points, including trading volume statistics, account asset snapshots, and daily settlements. Users don’t need to apply, set up, or report manually, and they won’t miss out on benefits due to operational oversights. This mechanism ensures points accumulate naturally with trading activity, eliminating the need for additional management.
Three Primary Ways to Accumulate Points
1. Ongoing Rewards for Trading Activity
The more you trade each day, the greater your rewards:
Earn 1 point for every 400 USDT in trading volume
Both opening and closing trades count toward your total
No daily cap—active users can accumulate unlimited points
By maintaining a steady trading rhythm, every transaction becomes a source of long-term returns.
2. Time Value from Account Assets
The system automatically snapshots your account balance daily (including spot assets in unified accounts) and awards fixed points based on asset levels:
$100 ≤ balance < $1,000: 1 point/day
$1,000 ≤ balance < $10,000: 2 points/day
$10,000 ≤ balance < $100,000: 3 points/day
≥ $100,000: 4 points/day
(Note: Funds in financial accounts are excluded from snapshots.)
3. Extended Accumulation through Community Participation
Inviting friends to join contract trading also earns points:
Only invitations where the invitee accumulates ≥ 2 points are considered valid.

What Can Points Be Redeemed For?
Once you accumulate enough points, you can redeem a variety of trading-related tools, including:
Cash Token: Reduce trading costs
Position Voucher: Enhance flexibility in capital allocation and position adjustments
Trial Bonus: Test strategies in a relatively low-risk environment
Gate will continue expanding point redemption options, evolving alongside the overall contract trading ecosystem.
Key Program Rules to Know Before Participating
To ensure fairness, contract points are governed by clear rules:
Points are valid for 15 days
Daily automatic settlement; first-expiry, first-use principle applies
Daily trading volume must meet the threshold to qualify
Institutional accounts and market makers are not eligible
Understanding these details helps you manage accumulation and redemption more efficiently.
A Sustainable Trading Cycle
The core design of the contract points program is to create a sustainable cycle: trading and position activities are recorded → points are accumulated → points are redeemed for practical tools → operational efficiency improves → the process feeds back into trading itself.
Whether you’re a high-frequency trader, an asset allocator, or focused on community expansion, this structure offers a tailored path for point accumulation.
Summary
The Gate Contract Points Program does not require traders to change their existing strategies; instead, it redefines the value of trading behavior. With this mechanism, every order, daily asset allocation, and community interaction is preserved and converted into future operational advantages. In the competitive Web3 contract market, building a structure for long-term accumulation is often more important than single-event profit and loss. The Gate Contract Points Program embodies this forward-thinking approach.
