Event Background and Highlights
To ring in 2026 and express appreciation for a year of user support, Gate is proud to introduce the VIP New Year Red Envelope Rain Special Campaign. This exclusive event is designed for VIP users, featuring zero barriers to entry and a tier-weighted allocation structure. With a dual-token prize pool of KDK and CYS, the event injects fresh momentum into asset allocation at the start of the year. Whether you’re a returning top-tier VIP or a first-time member reaching a new level, if you meet the requirements, you’ll have the chance to receive a personalized red envelope as the new year begins.
Event Period and Participation
The VIP New Year Red Envelope event will be available for a limited time. To participate, simply register on the event page and achieve the required VIP tier during the campaign to qualify for a share of the prize pool. After the event concludes, eligible users will receive airdrop rewards, which can be tracked in their spot accounts.
Event period: December 22, 2025, 08:00 – January 1, 2026, 08:00 (UTC)
Prize Pool Size and Distribution Structure
The total prize pool includes 85,714 KDK and 200,000 CYS, valued at approximately 70,000 USDT. To ensure fair rewards for all participants, the pool is divided into three categories based on user status: returning users, newly upgraded users, and loyal VIPs who consistently maintain high levels. This structure balances incentives for both growth and long-term loyalty.
Overview of the Three Main Red Envelope Airdrop Types
- Returning User Airdrop
Users who register and, during the campaign, regain VIP 5 or higher status through asset holdings, trading volume, or GT holdings—and maintain this level until the event ends—will be eligible for a share of the Returning User Airdrop.
- New User Airdrop
Users who achieve VIP 5 or higher for the first time during the event by upgrading via asset holdings, trading volume, or GT holdings—and maintain this level through the end of the campaign—will qualify for the New User Airdrop.
- Loyalty Airdrop
Participants who already held VIP 5 or above status during the event need only maintain their level after registration to be included in the Loyalty User prize pool allocation.

Distribution Mechanism and Weight Calculation
All eligible participants will have their final rewards determined by their VIP level at the end of the campaign and their most recent upgrade method. Higher VIP tiers and upgrade methods with greater weights will result in a larger share of the red envelope. The final reward is calculated as “individual weight ratio × total prize pool,” ensuring distribution reflects both user level and contribution.

VIP Levels and Reward Weight Overview
The weighting structure assigns different base multipliers to each VIP tier. Users who upgrade via trading volume receive higher weights than those upgrading solely through asset or GT holdings. As VIP level increases, so does the weighting—top-tier users can receive several times the base allocation, maximizing their prize pool returns.
Important Notes and Reminders
- This event is open to general users; however, certain high-level VIPs, institutional accounts, market makers, and accounts with excessive API trading in the past 30 days are ineligible.
- All participants must complete event registration. Only VIP users who upgrade via asset holdings, trading volume, or GT holdings are eligible for rewards.
- If abnormal trading, duplicate accounts, or any violations are detected during the event, Gate reserves the right to disqualify those participants.
- The actual value of distributed tokens will be calculated based on market prices at the time of distribution and does not constitute any income guarantee.
