"Why did the threshold for Alpha score increase by +4?"

I just saw many people in the group complaining that Binance's Alpha score threshold was too high, far exceeding the previous increase in points, and also offered rewards with the last digit of 4. I wonder if it was to commemorate @cz_binance 4th brother 😂😂 I won't be able to play in the future.

In fact, I don't think we need to worry too much. The subsequent threshold may not be as high as 137. Who said that the threshold can only increase but not decrease?

I said before that Binance's airdrop reward or IDO is actually a last-place elimination system, that is, in order to ensure that the benefits are large enough (50-100) dollars each time, they must screen out some people with lower scores, which is linked to the amount of airdrop chips that the project party is willing to give up.

Different projects, according to their own conditions (project community, popularity, background, funds in hand, urgency of exit, track narrative, coin issuance debt), etc., will definitely have different status when negotiating with Binance.

Have you seen that some weak projects are eager to remove all the chips given to the earlier community in order to have an exit channel for Binance IDO or Alpha? However, some projects are highly concerned and popular, so they are definitely not willing to give up a large number of chips, such as today's $BOOP.

Because the free chips given are limited, Binance adopts the method of lottery for high-scoring users + low-scoring users, which guarantees the benefits of users who get airdrops and expands the scope. In fact, this gameplay is also quite interesting.

Because with the upgrade of points war preparation, some small households may not be able to keep up with the increase. If there is not much principal (balance is less than $1,000) and 150 points are maintained, the wear and tear cost of fast-in and fast-out transactions to get 9 points every day is at least $3, which is $90 a month.

The last number lottery can lower the threshold of points in disguise, and it also adds some unknowability and fun, but this increases the accounting cost for the studio a lot at once. If they want to ensure that they get airdrops, they must get the highest score.

If the project party is relatively easy to talk to in the future and gives a large amount of chips, then the score threshold may be lowered again. And now that the last digit lottery has been launched, I would not be surprised if @binancezh comes up with even and odd numbers in the future. This way, small retail investors who do not have enough funds to score points will have some hope, and will not complain that Alpha volume sharing has become a game for big investors and studios.

OKX has also started airdropping to attract old users. Let’s see if Binance can still offer a single-user benefit of $1,300 this month amid the competition.
