What is Gate Alpha? An innovative trading module that combines the advantages of CEX and DEX.

In the field of crypto asset trading, Centralized Exchanges (CEX) and Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) have long coexisted yet remain disconnected from each other. Users who wish to participate in on-chain early asset trading must face complex Wallet configurations, cross-chain operations, and high Gas fees, making the threshold extremely high.

In 2025, Gate Exchange launched the revolutionary product Gate Alpha, directly addressing this pain point. It creatively integrates the convenience of CEX with the asset openness of DEX, allowing users to purchase popular multi-chain tokens with one click using USDT in their account without leaving the exchange environment.

##Product Positioning: The "Seamless Connector" between CEX and DEX

Gate Alpha is not just a simple functional upgrade, but an innovative integration at the architectural level. Its core positioning is to become a one-stop portal for users to explore Web3 on-chain assets.

Traditional DEX trading requires users to create a Web3 Wallet, manage private keys, handle cross-chain authorizations, and pay high Gas fees, which is extremely unfriendly for beginners. Gate Alpha, through technical integration, shields the underlying complexity.

Users can directly buy and sell on-chain assets within the Gate platform, achieving a truly convenient trading experience that feels as simple as trading spot.

The platform currently supports popular public chains such as SOL, ETH, BNB Chain, and Base, and plans to expand to networks like Solana, Arbitrum, and Polygon.

##Core Advantages: Fast, Easy, Good, and Secure On-Chain Trading New Paradigm

Fast: AI-driven, rapidly capturing market trends

Gate Alpha continuously monitors and analyzes blockchain networks and on-chain dynamic data through an AI real-time screening mechanism, quickly capturing market hotspots with a multi-dimensional detection system to achieve automated rapid listing of quality tokens. Compared to the lengthy coin listing review process of traditional exchanges, Gate Alpha significantly shortens the time window for users to access early-stage assets.

##Easy: Zero threshold operation, say goodbye to Web3 complexity Users do not need to configure a Web3 Wallet or manage private keys, and can directly use USDT within their Gate account to complete on-chain token transactions. The system automatically handles cross-chain exchanges and contract interactions, and users only need to execute "buy" or "sell" commands, providing an operational experience completely consistent with centralized spot trading.

Good: Selected assets, multi-dimensional risk control intercepting risky projects

The platform has established a multi-dimensional review system that covers core aspects such as contract security testing, in-depth analysis of holding data, and intelligent identification of insider trading, effectively intercepting problematic tokens and Pi Xiu盘 projects. For example, the tokens $noface, $turtle, and $Mixie that were recently launched have all verified their market popularity and fundamental liquidity through this mechanism.

Security: Exchange-level protection, full-process risk control guarantee

The product is deeply integrated with Gate's professional security mechanisms, utilizing 11 layers of security defenses and an exchange-level risk control system to prevent risks such as private key theft and interactions with problematic contracts. The unique "rug-pull detection mechanism" can dynamically monitor the behavior of project parties, significantly reducing the risk of running away.

Points System: The Key to Unlocking Airdrop and Subscription Rights

On July 29, 2025, Gate Alpha launched the Alpha Points System, becoming the core engine of ecological incentives. The points are dynamically generated based on user asset holdings and trading behavior and are the sole proof for participating in token airdrops and TGE (Token Generation Events).

Points Acquisition Dual Pathways

• Balance Points: The qualified assets held by users in the Gate Centralized Exchange (including spot market coins and Alpha Zone assets) are converted into USD market value daily to calculate points.
• Trading volume points: Only users in the Alpha selection area are counted. "Buy first ≥ 2 USDT to get 1 point, and for every doubling of the purchase amount, an additional 1 point can be earned (for example, buying 4 USDT earns 2 points).

The points rule emphasizes timeliness: the point value is the cumulative total of daily points over the past 15 days, with the daily snapshot time at 07:59:59 (UTC+8), and the points data is usually updated before 14:00 on the same day.

Points Application: The Golden Ticket for Airdrop Activities

Points directly determine the qualifications and priorities of users participating in airdrop activities. The multiple events in August 2025 have verified their value:

• August 1st: Hold ≥ 65 points to consume 10 points to receive 66 RION
• August 5: Hold ≥ 20 points to consume only 1 point to receive 10 RION. The event attracted over 5000 people to claim simultaneously as soon as it went live, and the rewards were quickly distributed.
• August 4th: For the Eclipse (ES) project airdrop, a minimum of 70 points is required to claim 80 ES.

All airdrops must be actively claimed by users within the specified time, and overdue claims will be considered as automatic forfeiture.

##Security and Compliance: The Cornerstone of Trust

As the core entry and exit point for funds and assets, Gate Alpha spares no effort in security design:

• On-chain asset custody: Utilizing professionally managed smart contracts to manage users' on-chain assets, isolating potential risks.
• Real-time blacklist interception: Automatically identify and intercept malicious contract addresses to prevent users from mistakenly operating and causing asset loss.
• Behavior monitoring: Prevent volume manipulation trades and bot market manipulation to ensure fairness.
• Mandatory identity verification: All users participating in airdrops or incentive activities must complete KYC verification to prevent multi-account cheating.

The platform clearly states that users from restricted regions (such as the UK) cannot participate in certain activities, reflecting a commitment to compliance.

Market Response: Data Confirms Growth Explosion Power

Gate Alpha's innovative model quickly received positive feedback from the market:

• Surge in Trading Volume: Driven by the airdrop incentives of the Gate Alpha points system launch, Gate Alpha's trading volume has continued to rise over the past 10 days, setting new highs for 5 consecutive days.
• High user activity: Daily transaction volume consistently exceeds 35,000, concentrated on popular tokens such as KOGE, BR, NAORIS.
• Airdrop participation is enthusiastic: The RION bonus airdrop event that went live on August 5 attracted over 5000 people to claim it simultaneously.

As of August 6, 2025, Gate Alpha has become an important entry point for on-chain early asset trading, and its integrated model is redefining the way users engage with Web3.

The crypto world is always searching for better solutions. The value of Gate Alpha lies not only in the technological integration of Centralized Exchange (CEX) and DEX but also in its redefinition of "user sovereignty"—ordinary investors do not need to delve into wallet mnemonics or Gas fee mechanisms to equally capture early on-chain opportunities.

Investors who were once barred from private key management and cross-chain transfers can now simply open the Gate App and hold USDT to directly access popular assets in ecosystems like Base, Solana, and Aptos. This may be a true representation of the democratization of finance at the entry point of trading.
