Gate Alpha is transforming the cryptocurrency airdrop landscape with its innovative Points Carnival, making digital asset distribution more accessible to retail users than ever before.
Leveling the Airdrop Playing Field

- Difficult to access
Gate Alpha's upgraded incentive model distributed $800,000+ in rewards to 100,000+ users during a recent 33-day campaign requiring just 0.5 USDT minimum participation.
