Gate CandyDrop Last 4 Days: 6 BTC Prize Pool Dual Track Distribution Mechanism Explained

As of August 11, 2025, the CandyDrop 6.0 universal airdrop event on the Gate exchange has entered the final 96-hour countdown. This airdrop feast, which started on July 31, has attracted traders from around the world to participate with a super prize pool of 6 BTC (approximately $700,000). The event will officially end on August 15 at 19:00 (UTC+8), and participants only have the last 4 days of sprinting window.

##Prize Pool Allocation: Dual-track Mechanism Activates Layered Demand Unlike traditional airdrops, CandyDrop 6.0 innovatively splits 6 BTC into two precisely targeted sub-pools, simultaneously activating new users and existing users:

1. Contract First Order Prize Pool (2 BTC)

• Target Audience: New users or first-time contract traders
• Task Requirement: Complete a first contract trade of any cryptocurrency (Opening + Closing ≥ 10,000 USDT)
• Reward mechanism: Obtain 1 candy, individual reward limit 0.004 BTC

2. Trading Sprint Prize Pool (4 BTC)

• Target audience: Users with a cumulative contract trading volume ≥ 50,000 USDT
• Reward mechanism: Reach the standard to receive 1 more candy, with a single reward limit of 0.006 BTC

Dual-task combined earnings: If users complete two types of tasks simultaneously, they can earn up to 0.01 BTC (approximately 10,000 USD), setting a new peak in per capita earnings history for Gate Airdrop.

##Candy Mechanism: Trading behavior determines reward weight The event uses "candy" as the core participation credential, with each piece of candy serving as a lever to unlock the prize pool:

• First order threshold: New users who complete ≥ 10,000 USDT contract transactions can receive 1 candy and unlock the qualification for the 2 BTC prize pool.
• High-frequency incentives: Cumulative trading volume ≥ 50,000 USDT can earn an additional 1 candy, entering the 4 BTC prize pool distribution.

The final reward calculation formula is: (individual candy count / total candy count of all users) × total prize pool.

This design deeply binds the platform's trading volume targets with user earnings—lowering the threshold for new users to 10,000 USDT reduces psychological barriers, while the target of 50,000 USDT drives high-frequency traders to continue operations.

##Community Fission: UGC Challenge Ignites Participation Fever To expand the influence of the event, Gate increased the stakes on August 1: #CandyDrop 合约挑战#:

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

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

##Participation Scale Prediction: Expected to Break Historical Records Although Gate does not publish current data in real-time, historical activities provide a reference:

• In June this year, the 5,000 GT prize pool event attracted over 50,000 participants in 24 hours.
• In April, the number of participants in the ZORA Airdrop exceeded 30,000.
• Previously, the "Pizza Day Airdrop" saw a total participation of 580,000 people.

The prize pool of 700,000 USD (which has surged 12 times compared to the June event) combined with clear rules is very likely to break participation records.

##Final Sprint Strategy (as of August 11) Only 4 days left until the deadline, efficient participants should pay attention to the following strategies:

1. Identity Precedence: Complete KYC verification immediately to ensure account status is normal.
2. Act according to your ability: Avoid over-leveraging for a sprint of 50,000 USDT trading volume that could lead to a loss of principal.
3. Time Planning: Arrange the trading rhythm reasonably, and reserve time to receive the prize pool (rewards will be distributed within 14 working days after the event ends)

##Conclusion: The Value Paradigm Innovation of Airdrop Ecosystem The 6 BTC prize pool of CandyDrop 6.0 is not only an upgrade in capital investment but also promotes industry evolution at the mechanism level:

• Value Anchoring Revolution: Abandon platform tokens (such as 3,000 GT from the June event), and directly price in BTC to avoid token volatility risks.
• Precise incentive layering: Dual-track design synchronously activates new users and existing users, maximizing platform liquidity.
• Community Economy Integration: The UGC challenge expands trading behavior into ecological interactions, reconstructing the Airdrop communication chain.

As the clock approaches 19:00 (UTC+8) on August 15, this airdrop experiment with a massive 6 BTC has entered its final countdown. In an era where attention is scarce in the crypto world, Gate has proven the cohesion of consensus with hard currency.
