Gate Alpha, Gate’s innovative multi-chain trading platform, has attracted a large number of users seeking early-stage project opportunities with its unique points system. As of November 10, 2025, Gate Alpha has advanced to its 102nd points airdrop event, continually providing users with channels to participate in emerging projects.
This article will walk you through the latest points airdrop updates, detail strategies for earning points, and reveal how to make the most of this system to optimize your experience in the crypto world.
01 Recent Points Airdrop Overview
As of November 10, Gate Alpha’s points airdrop events have reached their 102nd round, maintaining a high-frequency pace.
The 101st TCOM airdrop was held on November 8, featuring Gate Alpha’s signature tiered reward system:
- Tier 1: Users holding between 120 and 159 Gate Alpha points can redeem 12 points for 100 TCOM tokens.
- Tier 2: Users holding 160 points or more can redeem 15 points for 400 TCOM tokens.
TCOM is the world’s first decentralized IP governance protocol, starting with the classic IP of Japan’s "God of Manga" Osamu Tezuka, aiming to redefine the creation, licensing, and value distribution of intellectual property.
Immediately following, the 102nd LUCIC airdrop launched on November 9, with a similar structure:
- Lower tier (120–159 points): Redeem 12 points for 9 LUCIC.
- Higher tier (≥160 points): Redeem 15 points for 38 LUCIC.
02 Understanding the Gate Alpha Points System
Gate Alpha points are not just simple reward credits—they are a core metric for evaluating user activity within the Gate platform and the Alpha ecosystem.
Nature of Points
Gate Alpha points are generated based on user behavior data within the Gate platform and Alpha ecosystem, primarily including asset holdings and trading activity.
Your points total is the cumulative sum of your daily points over the past 15 days.
Core Value
Points directly determine your eligibility to participate in Alpha Zone token airdrops, TGE (Token Generation Events) subscriptions, limited-time campaigns, and other benefits. The higher your points, the more activities and privileges you can access.
Additionally, points can bring users tangible benefits such as trading fee discounts, VIP service upgrades, and even chances to join exclusive raffles and prize pools.
03 Comprehensive Strategies for Earning Points
To participate in these airdrop events, accumulating enough points is essential. Gate Alpha offers users several efficient ways to earn points.
Trading Activity
Trading is the most direct way to earn points.
- First trade reward: Complete your first trade of ≥20 USDT in the Alpha Zone to earn 1 point.
- Cumulative trading volume reward: The platform uses a tiered calculation system—for example, reaching a cumulative trading volume of 3,500 USDT earns you 7 points. Higher trading volumes correspond directly to more points.
Asset Holdings
Long-term holding of supported assets on the platform is another important way to earn points.
Gate Alpha rewards users who hold designated tokens for extended periods. The more assets you hold, the higher your points rewards tend to be, encouraging users to build a lasting relationship with the platform.
Inviting Friends
By successfully inviting new users to register via your exclusive link and complete qualifying trades, you earn 1 point for each friend who meets the criteria, up to a maximum reward (for example, up to 20 points).
The referral program not only helps you expand your network but also meaningfully boosts your points balance.
Participating in Platform Activities
Gate Alpha frequently launches various promotional campaigns, trading competitions, and social interaction tasks.
Actively participating in these activities and completing specific tasks usually yields substantial points rewards, especially when you hit designated targets.
04 Maximizing the Use of Your Points
Once you’ve accumulated points, using them efficiently is crucial.
Joining Airdrop Events
As mentioned with the TCOM and LUCIC airdrops, having enough points is the prerequisite for participation. Note that higher tiers (typically ≥160 points) unlock more generous airdrop rewards.
For instance, in the TCOM airdrop, users in the higher tier can receive 400 TCOM—four times the amount of the lower tier.
Participating in Exclusive Events & Getting Trading Discounts
High-point users are often given priority access to exclusive airdrops and limited-time promotional events not open to the general public.
Points can also be redeemed for trading fee discounts, directly lowering your transaction costs. For frequent traders, this can lead to significant savings over time.
Looking Ahead
Constantly updated points campaigns are central to Gate Alpha’s user engagement strategy. As of November 10, the platform has run 102 airdrop events, demonstrating its ongoing operational strength.
By actively trading, holding assets, and inviting friends, you can accumulate points and participate in airdrops—potentially giving you an edge in the next wave of innovative projects.
