Gate Alpha, as an innovative feature of the Gate exchange, continuously offers users opportunities to participate in early-stage project airdrops through its points system. Its unique tiered airdrop model and diverse ways to earn points have built a vibrant ecosystem.
As of November 11, 2025, Gate Alpha has reached its 103rd points airdrop event, consistently distributing various emerging tokens to users who hold sufficient points.
01 Understanding the Gate Alpha Points System
Gate Alpha points are not just a simple measure of user activity—they represent a comprehensive evaluation of user behavior within the Gate platform and the Alpha ecosystem.
This system calculates a value reflecting user engagement based on asset holdings and trading activity, directly impacting eligibility and benefits for airdrops, TGE subscriptions, and other limited-time events.
Your points total is the sum of your daily points over the past 15 days, which means the system places greater emphasis on recent activity rather than historical performance.
This design encourages users to participate consistently in the platform’s ecosystem, rather than relying on short-term bursts of activity.
02 Tiered Airdrop Model
Gate Alpha’s airdrop events use a unique tiered structure, offering different airdrop rewards based on users’ points ranges.
Points Tier Breakdown
Recent events show that Gate Alpha divides users into two main tiers:
Basic Tier: Requires users to hold between 120 and 159 Gate Alpha points. Users in this tier can claim a base amount of airdropped tokens, consuming 12 points in the process.
Advanced Tier: Requires users to hold 160 or more Gate Alpha points. Users in this tier can claim a greater amount of airdropped tokens, consuming 15 points.
Tier Selection Mechanism
It’s important to note that the system automatically selects the appropriate tier based on your current points balance. Users cannot manually choose their airdrop tier, and each airdrop event only allows you to claim rewards from one tier.
This approach ensures fair distribution of airdrops and prevents users from gaining undue advantage through strategic behavior.
03 Recent Airdrop Event Recap
As of November 11, Gate Alpha has conducted several consecutive airdrop events in recent days:
101st TCOM Airdrop
On November 8, Gate Alpha held a TCOM token airdrop. Basic tier users received 100 TCOM, while advanced tier users received 400 TCOM.
TCOM is the world’s first decentralized IP governance protocol, starting with 65 classic IPs from Osamu Tezuka, the "God of Manga" in Japan, aiming to redefine the creation, licensing, and value distribution of intellectual property.
102nd LUCIC Airdrop
On November 9, Gate Alpha launched the LUCIC airdrop. Basic tier users received 9 LUCIC, while advanced tier users received 38 LUCIC.
103rd NXPC Airdrop
On November 10, Gate Alpha rolled out the NXPC airdrop. Basic tier users could claim 13 NXPC, while advanced tier users could claim 55 NXPC.
04 How to Participate in Airdrop Events
Platform Preparation and Upgrades
Before participating in Gate Alpha airdrop events, users must ensure they are using the latest version of the platform client.
To claim tiered points airdrops, the app must be upgraded to version 7.20 or above. The web version is also available; users who haven’t updated the app can participate via the web platform.
Identity Verification and Agreement Signing
All participants must complete identity verification before claiming rewards.
When accessing "Gate Alpha" for the first time, users must follow the prompts to complete the innovative trading disclaimer quiz and sign the relevant user agreement.
Timing Your Claims
Airdrop events typically have strict time limits. For example, the 101st event was open for claims only from November 8, 2025, 11:00 to 15:59 (UTC), lasting about 5 hours.
If users do not claim their rewards within the specified window, they are considered to have forfeited their eligibility.
05 Boosting Points and Optimizing Participation
How to Earn Points
Gate Alpha points are generated based on user behavior within the Gate platform and Alpha ecosystem, primarily including:
- Asset Holdings: Maintaining a certain level of assets on the Gate platform
- Trading Activity: Actively participating in trading activities on the platform
Participation Strategies
Maintaining a high points balance is key to accessing better airdrop rewards. Since the advanced tier requires at least 160 points, users should remain consistently active on the platform to avoid losing advanced tier eligibility due to points decay.

06 Risks and Important Considerations
When participating in Gate Alpha airdrop events, users should be aware of the following:
- Technical Risk: Some airdropped tokens may not be tradable on-chain until their on-chain trading function is enabled
- Operational Risk: Always participate through official channels to avoid phishing websites
- Compliance Restrictions: Users in the UK and other restricted regions may not be able to access all or part of the services, including participation in these events
- Account Security: Bulk registration of multiple accounts, malicious volume manipulation, wash trading, or collusion are strictly prohibited. Multiple accounts belonging to the same verified user will be treated as a single account
The Gate team emphasizes that tokens from Gate Alpha projects may carry significant risk and volatility. Please make investment decisions with full awareness of these risks.
Looking Ahead
As the Gate Alpha ecosystem expands to support more blockchains—currently including SOL, ETH, Gate Layer, BNB Chain, and other major networks—its points airdrop events will offer users even more opportunities to participate in early-stage projects.
Cumulative airdrop rewards per user have reached up to $6,320, demonstrating the platform’s potential to create value for active participants.
By mastering the points rules and participating in airdrop events on time, the next high-reward airdrop project might just appear in your Gate Alpha account.
