    Discovering Emerging Crypto Projects on Gate.io – Airdrops, Token Sales and More

    27 April 14:55


    Even though major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum offer a lot to be excited about, many cryptocurrency investors are constantly on the hunt for new projects. The idea of finding a “diamond in the rough” is very compelling, as being an early adopter of a successful crypto project can yield significant gains. There are plenty of opportunities to discover new projects through both decentralized and centralized cryptocurrency platforms. Among traditional cryptocurrency exchanges, Gate.io stands out as one of the exchanges that puts the biggest emphasis on giving users access to coins and tokens from projects in their early stages.

    Gate.io’s approach towards promising crypto and blockchain projects
    Gate.io was founded in 2013, making it one of the exchanges with the longest history in the cryptocurrency industry. Despite the fact that the exchange has been around for more than 8 years now, Gate.io still has its finger on the pulse of the rapidly evolving crypto and blockchain sector, and is constantly expanding its offering with new listings and products. Traders can access more than 1,400 different cryptocurrencies on the exchange, and the list is steadily growing when exciting new projects make their debut on the market. This has helped Gate.io attract a userbase of more than 10 million.

    Users on Gate.io can quickly find fresh projects by checking out the “Newly Listed” and “Top Gainers” sections. The Newly Listed section features the most recently listed tokens on the exchange, as well as tokens that are going to be listed soon. This allows users to stay on top of the latest developments in the cryptocurrency sector, as Gate.io is known for listing assets shortly after they become available on the market.

    Some of the platform’s recent listings have performed very well, although users should keep in mind that new crypto assets tend to display volatile price action in both directions.


    The Top Gainers section, on the other hand, shows which cryptocurrencies listed on Gate.io have displayed the best performance in the last 24 hours. This is a useful way to see which projects the community is currently excited about, and can provide a good starting point for researching projects that are potentially interesting.

    The Gate.io Startup platform
    Another way that Gate.io gives users exposure to new cryptocurrency projects is the Gate.io Startup platform. On Gate.io Startup, users can earn tokens from projects that are about to be listed on the exchange. Depending on the project, tokens can either be distributed through a discounted token sale or a free airdrop. In the first quarter of 2022 alone, the Gate.io Startup platform featured a whopping 106 projects.


    The Gate.io Startup platform regularly features token sales and airdrops for upcoming crypto and blockchain projects

    Holding the exchange’s GateToken (GT) token is one of the ways to become eligible for participation in Gate.io Startup programs. A VIP1 account tier is required to participate, which can be achieved in three different ways:
    • Hold at least 100 GT tokens over a rolling 14-day period
    • Hold at least 20 GT tokens and generate 1.5 BTC in trading volume over a 30-day period
    • Have a Spot Account value of 0.05 BTC or higher for at least 24 hour

    There are different types of programs featured on Gate.io Startup:
    • Premium blockchain projects will make their listing debut on Gate.io
    • Free Airdrop Programs where eligible users can receive tokens from promising blockchain projects
    • An allocation of popular coins (such as Bitcoin) being offered at a discount
    • Discounted sales for tokens that are already listed on another exchange

    Gate.io also supports new blockchain and crypto projects through its Gate Labs, Gate Grants and Gate Ventures initiatives. Gate Labs promotes and supports high quality projects on the GateChain blockchain platform. Gate Grants funds research and development for projects across all blockchain ecosystems with $10,000 – $100,000 seed investments. Gate Ventures is the exchange’s venture capital arm, which has invested in notable projects like 1Inch Network, SEBA Bank and Woo Network.
