As an experienced player who transitioned from Binance Alpha to Gate, I would like to share my views on Gate Alpha.
First, let's talk about the drawbacks:
1. Mao Xiao: As for the airdrops that have appeared so far, there haven't been any large airdrops exceeding 60. Of course, there's no rush, as it has only recently started. I believe there will be in the future.
2. High Wear: The wear for brushing stablecoins 128 is around 2.2u, which is quite different compared to the 3.2u wear for brushing Binance's stablecoin at 1.6W. However, Binance announced new reward rules today, leading to a significant drop in the stablecoin market. Some even risked refreshing coins to maintain their original tier, resulting in the tragic loss of over a thousand u. So, for now, Gate's wear is relatively stable compared to Binance. Although the wear is high, Gate's threshold is much lower. As long as you can receive airdrops, this level of wear is actually not a big deal.
Next, let's talk about the advantages:
1. Low threshold: Compared to Binance's threshold of over 220, Gate's current threshold is quite reasonable. Users with low scores can access airdrops with a threshold of 120, while those with high scores can also enjoy thresholds of 150 or more, which is quite fair.
2. User-friendly deduction mechanism: Unlike Binance's practice of recording deduction points on the day of the airdrop, Gate.io directly deducts points from the total score after the deduction, and then adds new points for the next day based on the remaining total score after the deduction. This mechanism deserves a big thumbs up! It shortens the user's point recovery cycle, unlike Binance where one has to wait half a month to recover points after a deduction.
3. High airdrop frequency: For a platform that has just debuted its alpha, Gate's airdrop frequency is considered high. When Binance first started, we were thankful for two airdrops a week.
Finally, let me share my points (I just used TAGA, so I only have 150) and the airdrop records I grabbed. I haven't calculated the earnings in detail, but it should be nearly 200u combined, which is still quite impressive. Compared to Binance, the advantage of Gate is overall stability, users have a high frequency of receiving airdrops, and the participation experience is very good!
