Gate Candydrop has launched a 6 BTC prize pool, and registration is about to close!

At 19:00 Beijing time on August 15, the participation channel for the Gate exchange Candydrop 6.0 event will officially close. This airdrop feast, which started on July 31, attracted global traders with a super prize pool of 6 BTC (approximately 708,000 USD, calculated at the current Bitcoin price of 118,000 USD).

As of today, the event has entered the final sprint phase. Unlike traditional airdrops that are evenly distributed, CandyDrop 6.0 innovatively splits 6 BTC into two precisely targeted sub-pools, simultaneously activating the participation enthusiasm of new users and existing users.

Dual-track prize pool mechanism, precise distribution of 6 BTC

CandyDrop 6.0 event adopts a tiered incentive design, dividing the total prize pool into two independently allocated tracks.

Contract First Order Prize Pool (2 BTC): For new users or first-time contract traders. Simply complete the first order contract transaction of any coin (opening + closing position ≥ 10,000 USDT) to receive 1 candy and participate in the division of the 2 BTC prize pool. The maximum reward per person is 0.004 BTC.

Trading Sprint Prize Pool (4 BTC): Designed for existing users. During the event, a cumulative contract trading volume of ≥ 50,000 USDT can earn an additional 1 candy, entering the distribution of the 4 BTC prize pool. The individual reward limit is 0.006 BTC.

If users complete two types of tasks simultaneously, they can earn 2 candies, with a maximum prize of 0.01 BTC (approximately 10,000 US dollars), setting a record for the highest average profit per person in Gate Airdrop history.

The reward calculation uses a weighted formula: (individual candy count / total candy count of all users) × total prize pool. This means that the final earnings depend on the user's candy count proportion in the entire network, and the level of participation in transactions directly determines the earnings weight.

Candy System, Economic Leverage of Trading Behavior

The event uses "candy" as the core participation credential, with each candy serving as a lever to unlock the prize pool.

New users can receive 1 candy by making their first contract trade of ≥ 10,000 USDT, which significantly reduces the psychological barriers for contract novices.

Existing users need to accumulate a trading volume of 50,000 USDT to obtain the second candy. For active traders, this goal is reasonably achievable within the two-week event period.

As of August 14, data shows that users completing dual tasks in the final sprint phase need to trade approximately 25,000 USDT daily. The platform recommends choosing stablecoin contracts to control volatility risk.

Community Fission, Additional Earnings from UGC Challenges

To expand the impact of the event, Gate launched the #CandyDrop 合约挑战# community interaction session on August 1.

Users who share their contract trading experiences in the Gate Square and add topic tags can participate in the competition for additional rewards. The platform will select the Top 20 quality posts, each receiving a reward of 500 USD contract experience vouchers.

This strategy promotes user-generated content (UGC) secondary dissemination, with a 300% increase in the average daily exposure of related topics on Twitter and Gate Square in the first week. It not only strengthens the community atmosphere but also provides participants with practical strategy references.

The community challenge ended simultaneously with the main event (Beijing time August 15, 19:00), opening an additional revenue channel for participants outside of trading.

Ultimate Sprint Strategy (Updated August 15)

As the deadline approaches at 19:00 today, the profit maximization strategies for the three types of users vary.

New user priority first order task: Complete KYC verification immediately (institutional accounts and sub-accounts cannot participate), choose high liquidity coins (such as BTC/USDT) to reduce slippage risk. The single opening + closing volume must be ≥ 10,000 USDT, and upon meeting the requirement, 1 candy will be locked.

Existing user split trading volume: Disperse the trading volume of 50,000 USDT into multiple operations to avoid single transaction market volatility risks. This can be combined with spot and futures hedging, for example, by opening a short position while holding a spot position to reduce capital exposure.

Double Task Overlapping Strategy: Users who have already received the first candy should sprint for the second candy in the last few hours. It is recommended to choose low volatility trading pairs to control risks and use the contract vouchers obtained from UGC challenges to enhance available margin.

Rule Red Lines and Risk Reminders

Anti-cheating mechanism: Gate strictly limits participation to personal real-name accounts, excluding institutions, sub-accounts, and market makers. Bulk registration, self-buying and self-selling, and other such behaviors are strictly prohibited, and violators will be immediately disqualified.

Leverage risk control: Avoid excessive leverage for surge trading volume, especially in the current environment of increased market volatility. Reasonably plan the margin ratio to prevent forced liquidation due to short-term fluctuations.

Reward Distribution: All rewards will be distributed to user accounts within 14 working days after the end of the event. Please ensure that the account status is normal and reserve an operation window.

##Future Outlook As the countdown pointer sweeps through the final arc, Gate's Airdrop experiment, which generously offers 6 BTC, is witnessing the value transformation of consensus in the crypto world. The participation scale of this prize pool, exceeding 700,000 USD, is expected to set a new record.

At 19:00 on August 15, Beijing time, the bell will not only mark the end of the event but also the moment when many Gate users harvest Bitcoin. In an era where attention is scarce in the crypto world, Gate has proven the cohesion of consensus with hard currency.
