Ethereum dev Zack Cole launches initiative to fund 'tokenless' projects, promote ETH burning mechanisms

Gate Alpha’s Points Carnival Changes How Crypto Users Access Airdrops

Gate Alpha is looking to change that. Gate’s newly upgraded incentive model has seen the crypto exchange distribute more than $800,000 worth of rewards to over 100,000 users, through a 33-day event that users could take part in with as little as a single 0.5 USDT trade. Billed as the first large-scale user incentive campaign since Gate Alpha’s upgrade, the Points Carnival aimed to introduce a real-value reward system designed to simplify access…
