Event Rules:
- To claim rewards, participants need to click the [Join Now] button on the event page to register for the event and complete identity verification to be eligible.
- To ensure fairness, the number of wallets linked to a single IP is strictly monitored. Any abnormal multiple-account activity will be considered a violation, and result in disqualification.
- All rewards will be distributed within 14 working days after the event ends.
- Net Futures Trading Volume = Open Position Volume + Close Position Volume.
- USDT rewards from different event tasks can be combined.
- In the trading leaderboard challenge, if none of the participants meet the minimum individual futures trading volume requirement, the corresponding airdrop rewards will not be distributed. Those who meet the minimum trading volume requirement will be ranked based on the order they reach the criteria, and the first 100 users will receive the reward spots in sequence.
- Please note that the real-time rankings displayed on the trading leaderboard have not been filtered according to the minimum individual futures trading volume. They do not represent the final results. Actual rewards will be issued based on the verified list of winners.
- “New users” under the same identity verification are not allowed to create multiple wallet accounts to join the event. Existing wallet accounts that are closed and later re-registered will also not be regarded as “new users.”
- Gate reserves the right to disqualify any participant and cancel all rewards in the event of fraudulent, manipulative, or deceptive activities, including but not limited to wash trading, self-trading, coordinated trading, bulk account registration, or other abnormal participation methods.
- Users participating in multiple events during the same period will receive only the highest-value reward. The platform reserves the right of final interpretation for the terms of this event.
