Binance has introduced **Alpha Points**, a new scoring system designed to reward active users with exclusive access to **Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs), airdrops, and early-stage crypto projects** within the **Binance Alpha** ecosystem. If you're looking to maximize your benefits in Binance’s Web3 initiatives, understanding Alpha Points is crucial.
## **What Are Binance Alpha Points?**
Alpha Points is a **user engagement scoring system** that evaluates your activity in Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet. The higher your points, the better your chances of participating in:
- **Token Generation Events (TGEs)**
- **Exclusive airdrops** (e.g., the upcoming **$SIGN airdrop** on April 28)
- **Early access to new token listings**
This system ensures that **loyal and engaged users** get priority in high-demand opportunities.
## **How Are Alpha Points Calculated?**
Your score is updated **daily before 1:00 PM (UTC)** and is based on two key factors over a **15-day rolling period**:
### **1. Balance Points (Hold)**
- Points are awarded based on your **total asset balance** in Binance Spot and Binance Wallet.
- Example:
- **$100–$1,000** → **1 point**
- **$100,000+** → **4 points**
### **2. Volume Points (Trade)**
- Earn points by **buying Alpha tokens** (selling does not count).
- The formula scales exponentially:
- **$2 spent** → **1 point**
- **$8 spent** → **3 points**
- **$1,024 spent** → **10 points**
Your **total Alpha Points = Balance Points + Volume Points**.
## **How to Check & Maximize Your Alpha Points**
1. **Check Your Score**
- Open the Binance app → **"More Services"** → **"Information"** → **"Alpha Points"** .
2. **Boost Your Points**
- **Hold more assets** (keep a minimum of **$100** to start earning).
- **Buy Alpha tokens** (the more you trade, the higher your score).
- **Avoid selling Alpha tokens** (selling reduces potential points).
## **Why Alpha Points Matter: Upcoming $SIGN Airdrop Example**
Binance Alpha is listing **EthSign (SIGN)** on **April 28**, with an airdrop for eligible users.
- **Qualification:** Users must meet an **undisclosed Alpha Points threshold** (to be revealed on launch day).
- **Reward Distribution:** Airdrops will arrive **within 10 minutes** of trading going live .
This is just one example—future **IDOs and airdrops** will follow similar mechanics.
## **Key Takeaways & Next Steps**
✅ **Alpha Points = Your ticket to exclusive Binance Alpha rewards.**
✅ **Hold & trade Alpha tokens to maximize your score.**
✅ **Stay alert for new airdrops (like $SIGN) and IDOs.**
**Pro Tip:** Since points are calculated daily, **start accumulating now** to secure future opportunities before thresholds increase!
