If you’ve been looking for a chance to maximize your earnings while exploring new tokens, this is definitely the right time to get involved.

CandyDrop is Gate.io’s airdrop platform where users can do simple tasks to earn free tokens called “candy.” This round features Portal To Bitcoin (PTB) with a prize pool of 3,157,894 PTB. By trading, you can collect candy which is later converted into PTB. Each user can earn up to 3,000 PTB.

My personal experience in the campaign:
I decided to join both CandyDrop and Launchpool to maximize my chances of earning PTB rewards. On the CandyDrop side, I’ve already completed the Tier 1 task (futures trading of at least 1,000 USDT) and successfully earned my reward. For Tier 2, I’m currently halfway through, and I plan to continue trading until I complete it.

For Launchpool, I staked 23.97 PTB, which is now earning me an impressive APR of 222.91%. Watching those rewards accumulate in real-time is both exciting and motivating.

Do not miss out on these campaigns join now, complete the tasks, and enjoy the rewards that come with being an active Gate.io user.
