Binance: The Binance Alpha points will adopt a rolling 15-day cycle, with each point automatically expiring 15 days after the snapshot date.

According to the official announcement, starting from May 13, 2025, the Binance Alpha points will implement a new mechanism, requiring users to consume points to participate in Alpha exclusive TGE or airdrops. The Binance Alpha points use a rolling 15-day cycle. Each Binance Alpha point will automatically expire 15 days after the snapshot date. If Alpha tokens are listed for spot trading, trades after the listing will not count towards Alpha trading volume. Binance Alpha points are calculated based on snapshots taken daily at 23:59:59 (UTC). All transactions are recorded based on this time zone. For example, if you are in the UTC+8 time zone and complete a transaction at 02:00 on April 23 (local time), it will be recorded as 18:00 on April 22 (UTC) and counted for April 22. The daily Binance Alpha points balance is calculated using a rolling 15-day window, meaning your balance consists of all points earned and consumed over the past 15 days. $BNB
