For years, airdrops have been a cornerstone of on-chain engagement. Yet many users find them difficult to access, overly gamified, or skewed toward large traders. Gate Alpha is changing this paradigm with its innovative Points Carnival initiative.
Leveling the Playing Field
Gate Alpha's upgraded incentive model has distributed over $800,000 in rewards to more than 100,000 users during a 33-day campaign—accessible with just a 0.5 USDT transaction. This marks the platform's first large-scale user incentive since its major upgrade, introducing a tangible reward system that simplifies access to on-chain assets.
