As a long-standing incentive in the Gate VIP system, the VIP Exclusive Airdrop Carnival has become a highly anticipated monthly benefit for active traders. Phase 9 maintains the core approach of “trade to qualify, tiered rewards,” offering VIP traders a mystery token incentive valued at up to $30,000. This not only encourages greater trading activity but also reinforces the ongoing value of VIP status.
Not all VIP users are automatically included in this phase; instead, eligibility is based on “upgrading through trading.” Users must reach a specified trading volume and successfully advance to VIP 5 or above to register for the Airdrop Carnival. Users with a VIP Experience Card are not eligible for this event.
For users already at higher VIP levels, their most recent VIP upgrade must also have been achieved through meeting the trading volume requirement to qualify for registration. This ensures the airdrop is reserved for genuinely active traders.
This airdrop features a “mystery token,” with the specific token to be revealed 72 hours before the event concludes. This approach builds anticipation and discourages short-term speculation on a single token, aligning with the long-term incentive goals for VIPs.
The total prize pool is worth up to $30,000, with final rewards allocated based on participant numbers and VIP tier distribution.
After registering, users must meet specific trading requirements to unlock airdrop rewards. During the event, cumulative contract trading volume must reach $1,000,000, and users must maintain a VIP level of at least VIP 5 until the event ends.
The VIP tier used for prize pool allocation will be determined at the end of the event. Any downgrade during the event will result in loss of airdrop eligibility.
To highlight the long-term value of higher VIP tiers, this Airdrop Carnival uses a tiered prize pool structure. VIP 5–7 users will share 70% of the total prize pool, while VIP 8 and above will split the remaining 30%.
Within each tier, airdrop rewards are evenly divided among users who register and meet the requirements. This transparent system prevents excessive competition.
Participants must complete identity verification and actively register for the event. Only trading activity after registration is counted. Certain account types and accounts with a high proportion of API trading are ineligible. Abnormal or prohibited trading will result in disqualification.
Airdrop rewards will be automatically distributed within one business day after the event concludes. Gate reserves final interpretation rights. Users are encouraged to plan their trading and VIP tier progression in advance to ensure successful participation in this Airdrop Carnival.
