To assist users in precise position building and cost reduction during market fluctuations, Gate Web3 officially launches the "Swap to Unlock Tiered Shield Action". This event introduces a "Tiered Shield" mechanism where users' cumulative Swap volume directly determines the proportion and cap of their loss subsidy. Higher Swap volume unlocks a thicker shield, offering loss subsidies and gas-free benefits for eligible trades. The event implements strict prize pool circuit breakers and device deduplication to safeguard genuine active traders.
Event Period: Jan 15, 2026, 10:00 — Jan 30, 2026, 10:00 (UTC)
How to Participate

Event Details
Event 1: New User "Trial & Error" Insurance
During the event, new users performing their first Swap via Gate Swap can receive a full subsidy for gas fees and slippage losses (up to 30 USDT equivalent) if the first net Swap order results in a loss and the Swap amount is ≥ 500 USDT. Limited to the first 1,000 eligible deduplicated devices on a first-come, first-served basis.
Event 2: Invite Friends - Earn 30% Referral Commission + 20% for Your Friends
Go to the Referral page to generate your unique link and invite friends to bind your code. You can earn a 30% commission based on your friends' Swap volume. Friends using a new wallet who bind the code within 7 days will receive a 20% Swap fee rebate.
Event 3: "Ultimate Shield" Challenge (Prize Pool Circuit Breaker)
Users performing Swaps will have their "Shield Tier" determined by cumulative Swap volume. If in a net loss state at settlement, the platform will issue subsidies according to the tier.

Reward Rules (Circuit Breaker):
- Total subsidy budget: 20,000 USDT.
- Distribution Logic: Rewards will be distributed to eligible, deduplicated devices in order of cumulative Swap volume (highest to lowest).
- Budget Exhaustion: Once the budget is fully consumed, any subsequent users will no longer receive the reward.
- Device Deduplication: Only the qualified wallet address with the highest cumulative Swap volume per Device ID qualifies.
Notes
- Update App version: Android 7.25.5, iOS 7.25.0.
- Anti-abuse mechanism: System detects wash trading, abnormal fund transfers, and short-term deposits / withdrawals. Gate Web3 reserves the right to exclude such addresses from the subsidy.
- Net Loss Definition: Net Loss = (Total Buy Cost + Swap Fees) - (Total Sell Value + End Holding Value). If ≤ 0, no subsidy is issued.
- All airdrop rewards will be distributed within 14 working days after the event ends.
- Users participating in multiple events can only receive one airdrop (the highest one).
- Risk Warning: Token prices are highly volatile, carrying high market risks. Subsidies are intended to reduce trial costs and do not constitute a guarantee of future returns.
