Gate Futures Points Program Explained: Turning Trading Activity into Accumulative Strategic Advantages

Transforming Trading into an Accumulative Process

In most derivatives markets, trading activity typically results only in a profit or loss. Once the trade is complete, the process itself no longer generates value. Gate’s Futures Points Program is designed to overturn this logic by making trading more than just a single transaction or outcome. It becomes a long-term activity where you continually accumulate resources.

Whether you’re placing daily orders, maintaining a certain asset level in your account, or inviting friends to join futures trading, the system automatically converts these actions into points. Over time, these points build an asset pool you can use to strengthen your trading strategies.

An Automated Points System That Lowers Entry Barriers

The futures points system is built for effortless participation. All processes are fully automated, including daily data calculations, asset snapshots, and points settlement. Users don’t need to claim points manually or set up anything extra.

Points are not tied to mandatory redemption. Instead, they serve as a flexible resource, allowing traders to decide when to use them based on their needs and gradually build strategies that match their trading style.

Three Everyday Ways to Accumulate Points

1. Trading Volume Converts to Points Rewards

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 the total
• No daily maximum—active users can accumulate unlimited points

By maintaining a steady trading pace, every transaction becomes a source of long-term returns.

2. Account Asset Snapshots—Earning Value from Your Holdings

The system automatically takes daily snapshots of account balances (including spot assets in unified accounts) and awards points based on asset value:

• $100 ≤ balance < $1,000: 1 point per day
• $1,000 ≤ balance < $10,000: 2 points per day
• $10,000 ≤ balance < $100,000: 3 points per day
• ≥ $100,000: 4 points per day

(Note: Earn account funds are excluded from snapshot calculations.)

3. Community Participation Converts to Strategy Resources

Inviting friends to participate in futures trading also earns you points:

• Invite 1 friend: 1 point
• Invite 2 friends: 2 points
• Invite 3 or more friends: 3 points

Only valid invitations—where the invitee accumulates at least 2 points—are counted.

Practical Resources for Strengthening Strategies

As you accumulate points, you can redeem them for a variety of tools directly tied to trading strategies, including:

• Cash Token: Offset trading costs
• Position Voucher: Increase position flexibility
• Trial Bonus: Test new strategies in a low-risk environment

Gate will continue to expand the range of redeemable items, increasing the flexibility and value of points over time.

Clear Rules for Strategic Planning

To ensure fairness and predictability, the Futures Points Program follows clear rules:

• Points are valid for 15 days
• The system automatically settles and distributes points daily
• Points with the earliest expiration are used first
• Daily trading volume below 400 USDT does not qualify
• Institutional accounts and market makers are not eligible

This structure allows traders to plan point accumulation and redemption with certainty, reducing uncertainty in strategy development.

Driving a Positive Strategy Cycle

The Futures Points Program centers on sustainable growth, not one-off rewards: trading and holding positions → accumulating points → redeeming tools → strengthening strategies → improving operational efficiency → accumulating more points.

Whether you’re a high-frequency trader, prefer large positions, or excel at community engagement, you’ll find a points accumulation approach that fits your style. Every action becomes a catalyst for upgrading your strategy.

Summary

Gate’s Futures Points Program doesn’t require users to change their trading habits or make extra investments. Instead, it naturally converts your existing activity into usable resources. Placing orders, holding positions, and inviting friends—these routine actions can gradually become the foundation of future strategies. This approach turns trading from a pursuit of single outcomes into a long-term journey of continuous growth and enhanced competitiveness, echoing the core spirit of Web3: your actions themselves create value.
