Gate is celebrating its 13th anniversary with the launch of the WCTC S8 Global Trading Competition, which represents one of the most significant trading events in the platform's history. The competition features a massive prize pool of up to 8,000,000 USDT and introduces multiple competition formats designed to cater to different trading styles and preferences.

The pre-registration phase for the competition is currently underway and will continue until April 23, 2026 at 07:59:59 UTC. During this period, both new and existing users can register and form teams to participate. The official competition period will run from April 23, 2026 at 16:00:00 UTC through May 20, 2026 at 07:59:59 UTC, giving participants nearly a month to compete for the substantial prize pool.

The competition is structured into several distinct formats to maximize participation opportunities. The Team Competition is divided into two phases, each lasting two weeks. The first half runs from April 23 to May 6, while the second half runs from May 6 to May 20. Teams can participate in both phases, with rankings and data resetting at the end of each half. The top 20 teams from each phase will be selected based on total trading volume and total profit. The Team Competition alone offers a prize pool of up to 3,600,000 USDT.

For individual traders, the Individual Competition provides a separate prize pool of up to 2,000,000 USDT, allowing solo participants to compete directly against other traders. Additionally, the 1v1 Champion PK format offers up to 1,600,000 USDT in prizes for head-to-head matchups between top performers.

The competition also includes Bonus and Livestream Events with a fixed prize pool of 800,000 USDT, which is not dependent on participant numbers. This ensures that certain rewards are guaranteed regardless of how many traders ultimately join the competition.

To qualify as a valid trader and be eligible for prizes, participants must complete a minimum trading volume of 10,000 USDT during the competition period. Eligible trading pairs include all Gate USDT-margined spot, ETF, and flash swap trading pairs, as well as all USDT-margined perpetual futures trading pairs and all TradFi trading pairs. This broad selection allows traders to utilize their preferred markets and strategies.

The prize pools are dynamic and will unlock based on the number of valid traders participating, with tiers ranging from 10,000 to over 500,000 traders. Higher participation levels unlock larger portions of the maximum prize pools, creating an incentive for participants to invite others and increase overall engagement.

As part of the 13th anniversary celebration, Gate is also hosting several offline events in Hong Kong, including the GATE GALA 13 anniversary dinner at Rosewood Hong Kong on April 20, the Gate 13 Blue Carpet Ceremony featuring the unveiling of the F1 Red Bull team display car, and the Racing the Future outdoor exhibition at K11 MUSEA waterfront promenade running from April 18 to 24.

The WCTC S8 represents Gate's continued commitment to expanding beyond core trading functionality and exploring new forms of user interaction. As one of the earlier platforms to explore multi-asset trading, Gate has been steadily building its product ecosystem, and this competition showcases the platform's evolution over its 13-year history.

For those interested in participating, registration remains open until April 23, and both individual traders and teams are encouraged to join early to maximize their competition time and potential rewards.
