Gate CandyDrop is giving away 6 BTC! Unveiling the ultimate appeal of the 700,000 USD prize pool.

The CandyDrop Airdrop 6.0 event of the crypto assets trading platform Gate is in full swing. A super prize pool of 6 BTC (approximately 700,000 USD) is attracting global traders to participate.

The event will start on July 31 at 19:00 (UTC+8) and will last until August 15 at 19:00 (UTC+8). As of August 4, this Airdrop feast, which is incentivized by high amounts of BTC, has entered a heated stage.

Prize Pool Temptation, 700,000 USD Golden Rain

The size of the prize pool has always been a 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 and "Contract Trading Prize Pool" 4 BTC.

Each user can share up to 0.004 BTC (first transaction prize pool limit) and 0.006 BTC (transaction prize pool limit). Based on the current Bitcoin price, the theoretical maximum profit for an individual is close to 10,000 USD.

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

##Mechanism Analysis, the Trading Logic Behind the Candy

The core of participating in the activity is to obtain "candy"; the quantity of candy directly determines the proportion of rewards allocated to users. The rule design closely ties to the incentive of trading behavior:

• First order threshold: Users complete their first contract transaction in any coin, and the trading volume (opening + closing) ≥ 10,000 USDT, they can receive 1 candy and participate in the distribution 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 more candy and participate in the distribution of a 4 BTC prize pool.

This design cleverly ties the platform's trading volume enhancement goals with user reward appeals, lowering the initial participation threshold (10,000 USDT) while providing continuous motivation for high-frequency traders (50,000 USDT sprint).

##Dynamic Updates, Contract Challenge Ongoing

On August 1st, Gate added #CandyDrop 合约挑战# to the event, further igniting the enthusiasm of the community.

Users sharing contract trading experiences on Gate Square and adding activity tags will have the chance to win extra rewards. The platform will select the top 20 quality posts, each rewarded with a 500 USD contract experience voucher.

This design expands simple trading behavior into UGC (User Generated Content) interactions, forming a secondary spread of activities. It not only strengthens the community atmosphere but also provides practical reference strategies for potential participants, helping to maintain the ongoing heat of the activities.

Participation Heat: The Frenzied Wave Behind the Data

Although Gate does not disclose the current number of participants in real-time, historical data can be referenced: in June of this year, a CandyDrop event with a prize pool of 3,000 GT saw participation exceed 50,000 in less than 24 hours after launch.

Earlier in April, the ZORA Airdrop project saw participation quickly surpass 30,000 people. Previously, the "Pizza Day 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 4, the event is halfway through, and the enthusiasm for community discussions continues to rise.

Participation Strategy: Balancing Risks and Returns

To efficiently participate in this Airdrop feast, one must balance the details of the rules with risk control:

• Identity verification first: Participants must complete KYC verification, and institutional accounts, sub-accounts, and market maker accounts are excluded.
• Strict Anti-Cheat Red Line: Bulk registration of small accounts, self-buying and self-selling, matched trading, and other behaviors will be closely monitored, and violators will be disqualified.
• The time window is tight: There are less than 11 days left until the deadline of August 15 at 19:00 (UTC+8), so trading pace should be arranged reasonably.
• Risk Hedging Awareness: Contract trading itself carries high-risk attributes, and one should avoid over-trading for the sake of obtaining airdrops, which may lead to a loss of principal.

##Future Outlook

The attention of the crypto community is a scarce resource, and Gate successfully leveraged it with 6 BTC. In the first week of the event 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 frenzy is reaching its climax. There is not much time left for onlookers.
