Big update for Gate Alpha users and this one is all about speed, points, and timing.

Gate Alpha is rolling out a tiered $GT airdrop, and it’s structured in a way that clearly rewards higher engagement while still giving mid tier users a solid chance. This is not a lottery style drop. It’s points based, first come first served, and extremely time sensitive.

At the core of this event are Gate Alpha Points. Your total points determine which tier you qualify for, how many points are consumed per claim, and how much $GT you can actually receive. The higher your tier, the more efficient and rewarding the claim becomes.

Let’s break it down properly.

Tier 1 is designed for users who are active but still building momentum. If your Gate Alpha Points fall between 136 and 159, you qualify for this tier. Each claim consumes 11 points, and the reward is 0.45 GT per user. Allocation is first come first served, meaning speed matters just as much as eligibility.

Tier 2 is where things start to get interesting. Users holding 160 to 182 Gate Alpha Points fall into this bracket. Claims here consume 13 points, but the reward jumps to 1 GT per user. That’s more than double Tier 1 for only a slightly higher point cost. Again, first come first served.

Tier 3 is clearly aimed at the most consistent and committed users. If your Gate Alpha Points are 183 or higher, you’re in the top tier. Each claim consumes 14 points, and the reward goes up to 2 GT per user. This is the maximum allocation available in this drop and the most efficient in terms of GT per point. As expected, it’s still first come first served, so preparation is key.

The claim window is extremely short.
🗓 Jan 29, 09:00 – 09:10 UTC

That’s just 10 minutes. Miss it, and the opportunity is gone regardless of how many points you hold.

To participate, make sure you’re fully prepared:
• Update the app to v7.20.0 or higher
• Web version is also supported
• Be logged in early and ready before the claim window opens

This airdrop structure tells a clear story. Gate Alpha is actively incentivizing long term engagement rather than one off participation. Higher tiers are not just getting more GT, they’re getting better efficiency, which makes holding and using Gate Alpha Points increasingly valuable over time.

For users who have been steadily accumulating points, this is a direct payoff moment. For others, it’s a signal that future Alpha events may continue to favor consistency, activity, and readiness.

If you’re eligible, don’t underestimate the first come first served factor. With such a short window and fixed allocations, being early is just as important as being qualified.
