Gate CandyDrop is giving away 6 BTC! Ultimate Participation Guide

The CandyDrop Airdrop 6.0 event of the encryption trading platform Gate is in full swing. The prize pool of 6 BTC, worth $700,000, is attracting global traders to participate. The event started on July 31 at 19:00 (UTC+8) and will last until August 15 at 19:00 (UTC+8).

As of August 5, this airdrop feast, driven by high BTC incentives, has entered a heated phase. Only 10 days remain for onlookers.

##Prize Pool Temptation, 700,000 USD Golden Rain

The scale of the prize pool has always been the core concern for users. This time, the total prize pool of 6 BTC for CandyDrop 6.0 has been split into two parts:

• "Contract First Trade Prize Pool" 2 BTC: For new users or users making contract trades for the first time.
• "Contract Trading Prize Pool" 4 BTC: Targeting users with high trading volume during the event period.

Each user can share a maximum of 0.004 BTC (initial trading prize pool limit) and 0.006 BTC (trading prize pool limit). Based on the current Bitcoin price, the theoretical maximum earnings per person are close to 10,000 dollars.

Compared to historical events, this prize pool is even more generous. In June this year, Gate's Airdrop 2.0 event had a total prize pool of 3,000 GT (worth approximately 58,000 USD), while this time it is directly priced in BTC, with the value soaring to the level of 700,000 USD.

##Mechanism Analysis, the Trading Logic Behind the Candy

The core of participating in the event is to obtain "candies," and the number of candies directly determines the proportion of rewards allocated to users. The rules are designed to closely tie to transaction behavior incentives:

• First Order Threshold: Users complete their first contract trade in any cryptocurrency, and the trading volume (opening + closing) ≥ 10,000 USDT, they can receive 1 candy and participate in the division of a 2 BTC prize pool.
• Trading Volume Sprint: During the event, if the cumulative contract trading volume ≥ 50,000 USDT, you can receive 1 additional candy and participate in the sharing of a 4 BTC prize pool.

This design cleverly binds the platform's trading volume enhancement goals with user reward demands, reducing the initial participation threshold (10,000 USDT) while providing ongoing incentives for high-frequency traders (50,000 USDT sprint).

Dynamic updates, contract challenges are in progress

On August 1st, Gate added #CandyDrop 合约挑战# to the existing activities, further igniting the community's enthusiasm.

Users sharing contract trading experiences in the Gate Plaza and adding activity tags will have the chance to win additional rewards. The platform will select the top 20 quality posts, each receiving a reward of 500 USD contract experience vouchers.

This design extends simple trading behavior into UGC (User Generated Content) interaction, forming secondary dissemination of activities. It not only strengthens the community atmosphere but also provides practical reference strategies for potential participants, helping to continuously boost the activity's popularity.

##Participation Heat, The Crazy Wave Behind the Data

Although Gate does not publish the current number of participants in real-time, historical data can be used as a reference:

• In June this year, a CandyDrop event with a prize pool of 3,000 GT saw participation exceed 50,000 within less than 24 hours of its launch.
• In April, the ZORA Airdrop project saw participation quickly surpassing 30,000 people.
• Previously, the "PizzaDrop" Airdrop had a total participation of up to 580,000.

This 6 BTC prize pool event has a higher value and clearer rules, and its participation scale is expected to surpass historical records. As of August 5th, the event has passed the halfway mark, and the community discussion heat continues to rise.

Participation Strategies: Balancing Risks and Rewards

To participate efficiently in this airdrop feast, one must pay attention to the details of the rules and risk control.

• Identity verification first: Participants must complete KYC verification, and institutional accounts, sub-accounts, and market maker accounts are all excluded.
• Strict anti-cheating red line: Bulk registration of small accounts, self-buying and self-selling, and wash trading behaviors will be strictly monitored, and violators will be disqualified.
• Time window is tight: Only 10 days left until the deadline on August 15 at 19:00 (UTC+8), so trading pace must be arranged reasonably.
• Risk hedging awareness: Contract trading itself has high-risk attributes, and one should avoid over-trading for the sake of obtaining airdrops, which may lead to capital loss.

Rewards will be distributed to users' accounts within 14 working days after the event ends. Please pay attention to Gate's official announcements to ensure your account status is normal to receive the rewards.

##Future Outlook The attention of the encryption community is a scarce resource, and Gate successfully leveraged it with 6 BTC. In the first week of the event's launch, the daily exposure of related topics on Twitter and Gate Square surged threefold.

As the August 15 deadline approaches, this $700,000 Bitcoin Airdrop feast is reaching its climax. There is not much time left for onlookers.
