Gate Announcement on the Distribution of Pre Recharge User Tokens for the First Launch Project Infrared (IR) Gate is an officially recognized pre paid exchange for the Infrared project. The first batch of airdrop activity applications for Gate UID and recharge address submitted by users on the Infrared pre recharge activity page between December 13, 2025 and December 15, 2025 have been successfully completed. For users who successfully submit information through the Infrared pre recharge activity page and pre recharge their IR holdings to Gate, the platform will distribute tokens to the corresponding users starting from 09:00 (UTC+8) on December 17, 2025. For users who did not initiate a claim or provided incorrect UID and recharge address during the IR pre recharge to Gate event, the Infrared (IR) official team stated that they will allow these users to initiate a recharge on the chain after the non custodial wallet withdrawal portal is opened. Users can withdraw to the Gate exchange wallet or to non custodial wallets on the chain such as the Gate web3 wallet.
