Gate Launches Moonshot AI Pre-IPO Rewards Campaign With Up to 10,450 USDT

Gate has launched a new trading rewards campaign for users who participated in the Moonshot AI Pre-IPOs primary share subscription, offering as much as 10,450 USDT in combined rewards. The exchange presented the promotion as a way for Pre-IPO subscribers to put their positions to further use during a defined one-week window.

The campaign runs from August 17, 2026, at 06:00 UTC through August 24, 2026, at 06:00 UTC. According to Gate's official announcement, eligible participants can earn rewards through three separate activities: a daily futures trading check-in, a first-order risk buffer, and a futures trading leaderboard. The structure suggests Gate is using the promotion to drive short-term trading activity among a narrowly defined user group while tying eligibility to prior participation in the Moonshot AI offering.

The initiative is designed to give Moonshot AI Pre-IPO subscribers additional opportunities to earn rewards rather than leaving their subscription funds idle. Participation is limited to users whose eligibility can be verified through Moonshot AI Pre-IPOs subscription records.

A One-Week Campaign on a First-Come, First-Served Basis

The campaign lasts exactly one week and uses a first-come, first-served distribution model while reward supplies remain available (Gate's post on X). That makes early registration relevant, since some rewards depend on limited pools and on actions completed after sign-up.

Users must register for the event and complete Identity Verification before participating. Gate also states that trading volume generated before registration does not count toward the campaign.

The promotion is divided into three reward categories, each with different requirements and payout structures.

Event 1: Daily Trading Rewards of Up to 400 USDT

The first reward is designed to encourage consistent daily futures trading. Eligible users who reach at least 500 USDT in cumulative futures trading volume during a qualifying day can receive a 50 USDT daily check-in reward.

Each participant can claim the reward once per day, with a maximum of eight claims throughout the event. That structure puts the maximum individual reward for this activity at 400 USDT.

Gate has allocated a total prize pool of 50,000 USDT for the daily trading campaign. Rewards are issued automatically as Position Vouchers once users complete the relevant daily task. Each UTC calendar day, running from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59, counts as one check-in day.

Event 2: First-Trade Risk Buffer of Up to 50 USDT

The second activity focuses on users making their first futures trade after registering. If that first futures position results in an actual net loss, Gate will provide a 100% risk buffer subsidy of up to 50 USDT per user. The total subsidy pool for this part of the promotion is 2,500 USDT.

Gate has attached several conditions to the reward. Only actual losses from a user's own funds qualify, meaning losses offset by Position Vouchers, Trial Funds, or Trading Fee Rebate Vouchers are excluded. The first position must also be closed during the event period. If the first trade does not result in a loss, the user does not qualify for the subsidy.

Rewards under this activity are distributed according to the order in which participants open their first futures position after registering.

Event 3: Futures Trading Leaderboard With Up to 10,000 USDT

The largest individual reward on offer comes from the futures trading leaderboard. Participants need at least 10,000 USDT in cumulative futures trading volume to enter the competition, and rankings are determined by total futures trading volume, ranked from highest to lowest.

The leaderboard carries a total prize pool of 20,000 USDT. The top trader can receive 10,000 USDT, while participants ranked 2nd through 5th receive 2,000 USDT each. Ranks 6 through 10 receive 300 USDT each, and ranks 11 through 30 receive 25 USDT each.

Leaderboard rewards are distributed within 14 business days after the campaign ends.

Eligibility and Restrictions

Gate says the promotion is available only to users who participated in Moonshot AI Pre-IPOs, with eligibility determined using subscription records. Trading volume is calculated by adding buy and sell volume together, and only transactions completed after registration count toward the campaign.

Market maker, corporate, and institutional accounts are excluded. Subaccounts are also not eligible, and trading volume generated by subaccounts will not be credited toward a main account.

Gate has further prohibited bulk account registration, wash trading, matched orders, malicious volume manipulation, and other fraudulent activity. Users who participate in multiple similar Gate events at the same time will receive rewards from only one of those events. Participation is unavailable in the United Kingdom and other restricted regions.

Different Rewards, Different Payout Timelines

Daily trading rewards are credited automatically after users complete the required tasks and are issued as Position Vouchers. Rewards from the first-order risk buffer and the trading leaderboard are issued as USDT Spot tokens, and are credited within 14 business days after the event concludes.

Gate says rewards remain available only while supplies last, which makes the timing of registration and participation an important consideration for eligible users.

What the Campaign Means for Moonshot AI Pre-IPO Participants

The Gate campaign gives eligible Moonshot AI Pre-IPO subscribers three separate ways to earn additional rewards over a seven-day period. The daily trading program offers up to 400 USDT, the first-order risk buffer provides up to 50 USDT, and the leaderboard offers a maximum individual reward of 10,000 USDT. Taken together, Gate's campaign advertises up to 10,450 USDT in total rewards.

Participants are advised to review the eligibility requirements and trading conditions carefully before taking part, particularly because futures trading carries significant market risk. With the campaign closing at 06:00 UTC on August 24, 2026, eligible Moonshot AI Pre-IPO subscribers have a limited window in which to register and complete the required activities.
