Airdrop Mechanics and BNB Subscription Criteria
The HODLer Airdrops program allocates tokens to BNB holders based on snapshots taken during the eligibility window. Binance indicated that snapshots are captured multiple times per hour to compute users' average balances in Simple Earn and On-Chain Yields. Distribution of the STO airdrop is expected to occur at least one hour before spot trading opens.
To ensure wide distribution, a BNB holding hard cap applies: individual user participation is limited to a maximum of 4% of the total eligible BNB holding pool.
An additional 15 million STO tokens (1.5% of the max supply) will be reserved for marketing campaigns beginning three months post-listing.
