How to play with Virtual Money? A complete analysis of Gate's latest activities in August.

In August 2025, the Crypto Assets market saw increased Fluctuation, but the Gate platform provided players with diverse profit paths through intensive innovation activities and generous rewards. This article focuses on Gate's latest coin listings, trading competitions, and stake activities, breaking down practical strategies with low barriers and high returns.

##Airdrop Gameplay: Acquire Token Rewards at Zero Cost

1. EPHYRA Airdrop Task: Users can enter the Candydrop section on the "Discover" page through the Gate Wallet App and complete simple tasks to participate in the EPHYRA airdrop, with no financial investment required. The event starts on August 4th and distributes rewards based on task completion and a lottery mechanism.

2. Alpha Points Redemption: Although the points carnival in the Gate Alpha section has ended, its "light participation" model still has reference value: users can earn points through trading, inviting, and other activities, redeeming them for token airdrops or blind boxes (the highest historical earnings for a single user reached 1000 USD). The new round of activities is expected to continue with a low-threshold design, allowing entry with a single transaction of 0.5 USDT.

Trading Competition: High Prize Pool Incentives and Newbie-Friendly Mechanisms

Active Events

• LIORA Trading Competition (August 2 - August 9)
  • Global Ranking Competition: Spot trading volume reaching 5,000 USDT can participate in the 1.6 million LIORA rewards pool distribution, allocated according to trading volume ranking.
  • New User Benefits: New users who trade a spot volume of 2,000 USDT or a contract volume of 10,000 USDT can directly receive 650 LIORA (total pool of 400,000 LIORA).
  • Invitation Bonus: For each friend invited who completes a trading task, rewards of 150 LIORA (prize pool of 400,000 LIORA).
• Contract Opening Incentive Program (August 4 - August 14)
  • Participate with zero threshold, complete identity verification to share the 50,000 ERA rewards pool.
  • Rewards are distributed based on the weighted trading volume (√Total opening amount × Number of openings). New users trading ERA/USDT can receive a 20% additional bonus.
• CandyDrop Contract Challenge (August 1 - August 15)
  • Users share contract trading experiences in the Gate Square, and high-quality posts can share a total of 500 USDT contract experience vouchers (limited to 20 participants), while also participating in the platform's distribution of the 6 BTC rewards pool.

Competition Participation Strategy

• Small capital focuses on novice rewards: prioritize completing LIORA new user tasks, 2,000 USDT trading volume exchanges for 650 LIORA, with high cost recovery efficiency.
• Contract Weighting Technique: In the opening incentive plan, multiple small openings (such as opening 500 USDT in 10 installments) can increase the weighted trading amount, avoiding the square root compression effect of a single large opening.

##Stake and Ecological Cooperation: Stable Returns Combined with Additional Airdrops

1. UPCX Limited-Time Stake Event (August 2 - August 11)

• Buy any amount of UPC on Gate and stake it to your personal wallet for double rewards:
  • Prize Pool Sharing: Divide 4,900 UPC (approximately 16,000 USD) according to the staking amount, allocated in tiers (for example, a stake of 1–100 UPC group shares 500 UPC).
  • 10% additional airdrop: stake 100 UPC to receive 10 UPC rewards, no limit.

2. On-chain asset staking generates interest. Gate Alpha supports staking of mainstream public chain (SOL, ETH, etc.) assets. Users can participate directly using their spot account USDT, with an annualized yield of 3%–15%, and no platform fees (only pay Gas fees).

##Long-term Layout: Undervalued Tracks and On-chain Trading Dividends

• Hidden high-growth tokens: The Gate Alpha area conducts long-term screening of quality projects, with a historical increase of over 60% in the launch of coins exceeding 100%. Users can obtain chips in advance through new coin tasks, such as participating in points activities to exchange for early token blind boxes.
• On-chain trading trends: The Alpha zone supports limit orders/market orders and slippage customization, combined with one-click trading of multi-chain assets (such as Base chain tokens), lowering the threshold for retail investors to participate in on-chain high fluctuation assets.

##Risk Management: Participation Guidelines

1. Anti-cheating mechanism:

• The contract opening incentive program prohibits self-buying and self-selling, as well as multi-account trading. Violators will be disqualified.
• UPC stake requires submission of a separate wallet address; duplicate submissions are invalid.

2. Position and Leverage Control:

• It is recommended to use leverage ≤ 5 times for contract trading during the event to avoid extreme market fluctuations leading to liquidation (refer to the incident on August 2 where 217,000 people were liquidated across the network).
• Reserve 20% USDT to cope with Fluctuation and avoid missing out on activity rewards due to liquidity shortage.

##Conclusion: The "Three Low and One High" Advantage of the Gate Ecosystem In August 2025, Gate reshapes the logic of crypto participation with a low threshold (starting from 0.5 USDT), low risk (zero-cost airdrops), low operational burden (automated staking), and high return density (stackable activity rewards). Players can layer their strategies:

• Newbie: Start with EPHYRA airdrop and LIORA newbie rewards to accumulate initial tokens.
• Advanced: Magnify unit capital gains through contract-weighted calculations combined with stake airdrops.
• Long-term investors: Relying on the Alpha zone to ambush early on-chain assets and capture opportunities for 100%+ Fluctuation.
