Q1: What is Gate CandyDrop?
CandyDrop is an innovative airdrop platform by Gate, built on a Task-Driven Participation model. Users earn Candy by completing specific tasks, such as hitting trading volume targets, depositing certain tokens, or inviting friends. This Candy is then exchanged for token airdrops. Gate maintains a high standard for project selection, focusing on established or high-potential projects to ensure all rewards are credible and valuable for our users.
Q2: How do I access CandyDrops?
Web: Go to the top navigation bar, click [Earn] ‑ [Launch] ‑ [CandyDrop].
App: Tap the [Profile Icon] in the top-left corner, scroll to [More Services] ‑ [Launch] ‑ [CandyDrop].
Announcements: Click the [Join Now] button directly on any active campaign announcement page.
Search: Use the search bar or Gate AI to search for CandyDrop.
Q3: How do I join a CandyDrop task?
Once you are on a specific project's CandyDrop page, you must click the [Join Now] button to activate and begin tracking tasks for that project.
Q4: When does task tracking start and end?
Only actions performed within the official campaign period for each specific project are counted. Please check the start and end times carefully before participating.
Q5: How is trading volume calculated?
- Spot Trading: Cumulative volume for designated trading pairs. Volume = Buys + Sells.
- Futures Trading: Cumulative value of opened and closed positions for designated contracts. Volume = Open Value + Close Value.
- Eligible Assets: Each project specifies which trading pairs qualify. Unless otherwise stated, only those pairs count toward the task.
Q6: How are deposit and referral tasks calculated?
- Deposit Tasks: We track net deposits from external wallets during the event. Net Deposit = (On-chain Deposits) - (On-chain Withdrawals + Internal Transfer-Out + P2P Sells). Note: Any withdrawals made after joining the task will be deducted from your net deposit data.
- Referral Tasks: You must invite friends using your exclusive referral link. The reward is granted only after the invitee completes KYC verification and the required trading tasks.
Q7: Why can't I join a First Futures/Spot Trade task immediately after signing up?
To ensure fairness and account security, new users must wait 1 hour after sign-up before participating in their first futures or spot trading tasks. Please try again after an hour.
Q8: Why hasn't my task progress updated?
Please ensure you clicked the [Join Now] button on the project page. The system only begins recording valid data after you have clicked this button to activate the task.
Q9: Why am I ineligible for a First Trade Task in the current event?
Users can only participate in one First Trade task at a time. We recommend comparing the rewards and rules of different active events and choosing the one that best fits your goals before joining.
Q10: How long does it take for my Candy/Volume to update?
After completing a task, the system requires time for verification. Data typically syncs and reflects on the page within 1 to 3 hours.
Q11: Do Candy points expire?
Yes. Candy is project-specific and does not carry over. Candy earned in the current period is only valid for that specific project and will expire once the event ends. It cannot be accumulated or transferred to future campaigns.
Q12: How is my airdrop reward calculated?
- Candy Pool: Your Reward = (Your Candy / Total Candy of All Users) × Reward Pool
- Volume-Based Pool: Your Reward = (Your Trading Volume / Total Volume of All Users) × Reward Pool
- Fixed Rewards: Some tasks grant a set amount of tokens immediately upon completion.
Q13: When are rewards distributed?
Final calculations occur after the event ends. Airdrops are typically distributed to your Spot Account within 14 working days. You can check your history under [Assets] ‑ [Transaction History].
Q14: Can sub-accounts participate in CandyDrop?
No. Only main accounts are eligible. Sub-account trading volume or assets are not counted toward the main account's progress. Using multiple sub-accounts to farm rewards is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification.
Q15: Is participation mandatory?
No. CandyDrop uses an opt-in mechanism. You can choose which projects to support by clicking [Join Now]. Only users who manually join and complete tasks are eligible for rewards.
Q16: Is there a limit to how much I can earn?
Yes. Every project has an individual cap (maximum limit) per user. Even if your Candy count or trading volume is extremely high, your final reward will not exceed this specified limit.
Q17: How can I maximize my rewards?
To get a larger share of the pool, try to complete multiple task types (e.g., combining Trading, Deposits, and Referrals) within a single project to maximize your total Candy count.
