The actual shares each VIP User received will be determined based on the actual VIP Level at the time of token distribution. Purchase limit: The maximum contribution limit for a single user is 1500 shares. The VIP Users’ existing subscription share rules remain unchanged and can get 100% airdrops. The higher the VIP level, the more Startup airdrop shares can be subscribed. The relationship between the VIP level and the maximum contribution allocation, please refer to the link: https://www.gate.io/article/29892 b)Startup Participation Rules for Non-VIP Users (VIP 0 Users): Spot assets not less than 10 USD, after participating in the subscription, whether the Non-VIP Users win or not will be announced at the end of the project subscription. A portion of lucky Non-VIP Users will be randomly selected and the airdrop amount will be evenly distributed. Non-VIP users who use Startup vouchers to join the subscription will have their Voucher benefits prioritized. Startup vouchers guarantee a 100% corresponding share, the specific subscription rules can be found at https://www.gate.io/article/31899. (7) Announcement of results: After the end of the day’s subscription, the system will count all eligible subscription orders.

Non-VIP users will be randomly selected as part of the lucky Non-VIP users and the airdrop quota will be distributed equally. The subscription results will be announced before listing.
