Amid the ongoing surge in the global crypto derivatives market, the Gate Perpetual Points Programme has once again become a focal point in the industry. According to the latest official announcement, as of the end of October 2025, the Gate Perpetual Points Programme has successfully launched ten rounds of activities, with total per-user earnings surpassing $438 and over 700,000 user participations. Both user engagement and reward experience have reached record highs.
This achievement not only demonstrates Gate’s ongoing innovation within the derivatives ecosystem but also highlights users’ strong endorsement of the "trade-to-earn" model.
1. What Is the Gate Perpetual Points Programme?
The Gate Perpetual Points Programme is an incentive plan tailored for derivatives traders. By participating in derivatives trading, users can earn Perp Points—redeemable rewards—based on their trading volume, task completion, and event point rules.
These points can be used for:
- Offsetting derivatives trading fees;
- Redeeming USDT, time-limited red packets, or trial funds;
- Participating in exclusive airdrops and lucky draws;
- Unlocking higher user tier benefits and increased rebate rates.
Since its launch at the end of 2024, the program’s "low barrier, high interaction, instant rewards" design philosophy has quickly attracted a massive influx of trading participants.
2. Recap of Ten Rounds: Record-Breaking Returns
According to data released by Gate, the first ten rounds of Perpetual Points airdrop campaigns distributed over 12 million points in total rewards. The highest cumulative earnings per user reached $438.27, with the average return rate rising nearly 22% quarter-over-quarter.
In the tenth round, the platform introduced a brand-new task system:
- Daily check-ins combined with trading tasks;
- Launch of points acceleration packs;
- Addition of a "Lucky Number" lottery, where single-trade earnings could double.
This innovative incentive structure has significantly boosted user retention and trading depth, resulting in a 31% quarter-over-quarter increase in derivatives trading volume and securing Gate’s position among the world’s top five derivatives exchanges.
3. Why Does the Gate Perpetual Points Programme Continue to Stand Out?
1. Low Barrier, High Reward Mechanism
Unlike traditional trading reward campaigns, the Gate Perpetual Points Programme requires no complicated sign-up process. Newcomers can automatically earn points simply by completing trades, check-ins, or referral tasks, making participation highly accessible.
2. Dynamic Rewards Structure to Fuel Trading Enthusiasm
The points system uses a dynamic calculation model, automatically adjusting reward multipliers based on market volatility, trading volume, and user tier. For example, during periods of high volatility, rewards can be boosted up to 1.5x, allowing active users to enjoy greater instant returns.
3. Community Engagement and Sustainable Incentives
Gate deeply integrates Perpetual Points with community activities. Through task leaderboards and limited-time competitions, users can not only increase their earnings but also unlock exclusive NFTs or trading badges. This gamified design makes participation more interactive and fulfilling.
4. Comprehensive Ecosystem Upgrade: Two-Way Integration of Points and Trading
Beyond the points program itself, Gate will fully upgrade its derivatives trading ecosystem in 2025. With innovative products like Gate Perp DEX and Gate Layer, the platform bridges centralized and decentralized trading environments, allowing users to accumulate and utilize Perpetual Points across multiple facets of the ecosystem. The points program also supports cross-product redemption: users can use Perpetual Points to offset spot trading fees or participate in interest-boosting activities within Gate Earn, enabling flexible returns and compound growth.
This "multi-scenario sharing, full-ecosystem circulation" approach greatly enhances the practical value and usage frequency of Perpetual Points.
5. User Feedback and Data Insights
According to a Gate community survey, over 82% of users reported that the Perpetual Points Programme "significantly boosted their trading activity," while 67% of active traders consider points a "long-term supplementary income source." On social platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), users frequently share screenshots of their points earnings, propelling the program’s popularity among global users.
Additionally, platform data shows:
- Average daily active derivatives accounts increased by 28% year-over-year;
- Average points held per user rose by 36%;
- USDT redemption rate climbed 15% quarter-over-quarter.
These figures clearly demonstrate that the Gate Perpetual Points Programme is becoming a key driver of trading activity and user retention on the platform.
6. Looking Ahead: Eleventh Round Set to Launch Soon
Gate has revealed that the eleventh round of the Perpetual Points Programme is expected to launch in mid-November 2025. This round will introduce an AI-powered dynamic task recommendation system, automatically generating personalized tasks based on users’ trading preferences and market trends. The platform also plans to roll out a points NFT feature, enabling users to package their points as tradable assets for free circulation on secondary markets.
These innovations will further strengthen Gate’s user incentive mechanisms in the Web3 era, injecting ongoing momentum into the ecosystem’s development.
7. Conclusion
From its initial pilot phase to the comprehensive rollout of ten rounds, the Gate Perpetual Points Programme has evolved far beyond a simple incentive campaign. It has become a vital bridge connecting users and the platform, trading and rewards. The program makes trading more engaging and valuable, ensuring every user can enjoy a tangible sense of reward amid the volatility of the derivatives market.
With continued ecosystem expansion and feature upgrades, Gate is poised to further define the new standard for "Trading Rewards 2.0" in 2026.
