Gate CandyDrop latest update: 6 BTC prize pool countdown 7 days

As of August 8, 2025, the CandyDrop 6.0 global Airdrop event on Gate exchange has entered its final sprint phase. This airdrop feast, which started on July 31, attracts global traders with a super prize pool of 6 BTC (approximately 700,000 USD), and the event will officially end on August 15 at 19:00 UTC+8, with only 7 days left in the participation window.

Prize Pool Allocation Mechanism: Dual-Track Design Activating Layered Demand

Unlike traditional airdrops that use an equal distribution method, CandyDrop 6.0 innovatively splits 6 BTC into two precisely targeted sub-pools, simultaneously activating new users and existing users:

• Contract First Order Prize Pool (2 BTC): New users or first-time contract traders who complete any cryptocurrency first order contract transaction (opening + closing ≥ 10,000 USDT) can receive 1 candy, with a maximum reward limit of 0.004 BTC per person.
• Trading Sprint Prize Pool (4 BTC): Users who meet the cumulative trading volume of ≥ 50,000 USDT can receive 1 additional candy, with a maximum reward limit of 0.006 BTC per person.

If users complete two types of tasks at the same time, they can earn up to 0.01 BTC (approximately 10,000 USD), setting a new record for the highest average earnings per person in Gate Airdrop history. The rewards are distributed based on the proportion of candy quantity, calculated using the formula: (individual candy count / total candy count of all users) × total prize pool.

##Participation Path: Candy Mechanism Binding Trading Behavior The event uses "candy" as the core participation credential, with each candy serving as a lever to unlock the prize pool:

1. Low threshold activation for new users to complete their first contract transaction (≥ 10,000 USDT) to receive 1 candy and unlock eligibility to participate in the 2 BTC prize pool.
2. Users with high trading incentives who accumulate a contract trading volume ≥ 50,000 USDT can receive 1 additional candy and enter the distribution of the 4 BTC prize pool.

This design deeply binds the platform's trading volume targets with user profit demands— the threshold of 10,000 USDT lowers the psychological barrier for new users to try contracts, while the target of 50,000 USDT drives high-frequency traders to continue operating.

##Community Fission: UGC Challenges Ignite Secondary Dissemination To expand the impact of the event, Gate enhanced community interaction on August 1 with #CandyDrop 合约挑战#:

• Users share contract trading experiences in the Gate Square and add topic tags
• The platform selects the Top 20 quality posts, each rewarded with a 500 USD contract experience coupon.
• The event period is synchronized with the main event (August 1 - August 15 UTC+8)

This move promotes the secondary dissemination of UGC, with a 300% increase in the daily exposure of related topics on Twitter and Gate Square in the first week, strengthening the community atmosphere while providing participants with practical strategy references.

##Industry Innovation: Triple Upgrade of Airdrop Ecosystem The 6 BTC prize pool of CandyDrop 6.0 is not only an upgrade in capital investment but also drives the evolution of the industry at the mechanism level:

• Value Anchoring Revolution: Abandon platform coins or project tokens (such as the 3,000 GT from June's event), directly using Bitcoin as the prize pool asset, avoiding token volatility risks and enhancing user trust.
• Strengthening the anti-cheating system: Participation is limited to individual accounts, excluding institutions, sub-accounts, and market makers; strict actions against bulk registrations, self-buying and self-selling, etc., and violators will have their qualifications immediately revoked.
• Expected participation scale breaks record: Historical data shows that on June 5th, 5,000 GT prize pool activity attracted over 50,000 participants within 24 hours; in April, ZORA Airdrop participation exceeded 30,000; previously, the "Pizza Festival Airdrop" accumulated 580,000 participants—this time, the $700,000 prize pool is likely to set a new peak.
