The previous image I posted was automatically compressed after uploading. To help everyone understand better, I will post another plain language version.
First, we need to understand a few basic rules (official policies may change, please refer to the actual ones):
Points Validity Period: Very important! Points only count for the net earnings within the last 15 days. In other words, points earned 16 days ago will expire today.
Point Consumption: Each airdrop/TGE consumes a fixed 15 points.
Redemption Threshold: Your 'total points' must reach the threshold for each airdrop/TGE (for example, around 195 points) to redeem. The 15 points you spend to redeem do not just get deducted at that moment. This 'spending' will also act like a 'negative income', affecting your total points calculation for the next 15 days. It can be understood that on the day you redeem, your actual 'net deposit' of points is 'points earned that day - 15 points', and this 'net deposit' will expire in 15 days.
Core Idea: Redeem as soon as you reach the threshold without wasting points!
Because points have a 15-day validity period, our goal is to exchange as many rewards as possible before they expire.
Comparison of different strategies, let's see which one suits you?
We have previously simulated several scenarios, and now I will explain the conclusions to you in plain language:
Strategy One: Diligent Player - 'Alternating between 17, 17, and 18 points, threshold 195 points'
Your Operation: Acquire 17 points for two consecutive days, then 18 points on the third day, and repeat.
Your Goal: Exchange rewards as soon as your points reach 195.
Expected Results (90 days): About 29 rewards can be exchanged.
Points Status: Once stabilized, your available points will often hover around 185 points.
Redemption Rhythm: After stabilization, you can exchange about 5 times every 15 days, averaging 1 exchange every 3 days.
Suitable Audience: Those willing to put in a little more effort, aiming for maximum point acquisition.
Strategy Two: Stable Player A - 'Daily fixed acquisition of 16 points, threshold 190 points'
Your Operation: Daily fixed acquisition of 16 points.
Your Goal: Exchange rewards as soon as your points reach 190.
Expected Results (90 days): About 24 rewards can be exchanged.
Points Status: After stabilization, your available points will often hover around 180 points.
Redemption Rhythm: After stabilization, you can exchange about 4 times every 15 days, averaging 1 exchange every 3-4 days.
Suitable Audience: Players who prefer simple and hassle-free operations with fixed daily tasks, and do not have extreme demands for the number of rewards.
Strategy Three: Stable Player B - 'Daily fixed acquisition of 17 points, threshold 198 points'
Your Operation: Daily fixed acquisition of 17 points.
Your Goal: Exchange rewards as soon as your points reach 198.
Expected Results (90 days): About 24 rewards can be exchanged.
Points Status: After stabilization, your available points will often hover around 195 points (just slightly below the threshold).
Redemption Rhythm: After stabilization, you can exchange about 4 times every 15 days, averaging 1 exchange every 3-4 days.
Suitable Audience: Similar to Strategy Two, but under this strategy, your 'daily points pool' will be slightly higher, which may psychologically feel more 'affluent'.
Strategy Four: High Yield Player A - 'Daily fixed acquisition of 18 points, threshold 198 points'
Your Operation: Daily fixed acquisition of 18 points.
Your Goal: Exchange rewards as soon as your points reach 198.
Expected Results (90 days): About 30 rewards can be exchanged.
Points Status: After stabilization, your available points will often hover around 195 points.
Redemption Rhythm: After stabilization, you can exchange about 5 times every 15 days, which averages to once every 3 days.
Suitable Audience: If you can consistently earn higher points daily, this strategy's reward frequency will be very considerable, slightly higher than the diligent player's returns, but with simpler operations.
Strategy Five: High Yield Player B (One of the Optimal Strategies) - 'Daily fixed acquisition of 18 points, threshold 195 points'
Your Operation: Daily fixed acquisition of 18 points.
Your Goal: Exchange rewards as soon as your points reach 195.
Expected Results (90 days): About 35 rewards can be exchanged!
Points Status: After stabilization, your available points will often hover around 180 points.
Redemption Rhythm: After stabilization, you can exchange about 6 times every 15 days, averaging 1 exchange every 2-3 days!
Suitable Audience: If you can consistently earn 18 points daily and the redemption threshold is indeed around 195, this strategy is the most efficient!
Key Point Analysis, helping you understand 'why this happens':
The difference between 'Daily Acquisition' and 'Redemption Consumption' is very important:
For example, if you earn 18 points daily and spend 15 points to redeem rewards. On the day you redeem, your contribution to the '15-day points pool' is 18 - 15 = 3 points. If you do not redeem, you contribute 18 points instead.
After 15 days, whether it's the expiration of '3 points' or '18 points' has a huge impact on whether you can reach the redemption threshold that day!
The height of the 'redemption threshold' is crucial:
If the threshold is just right for your expectations, for example, if your stabilized points are 180 and you redeemed rewards 15 days ago (which only contributed 3 points that day), then today those 3 points will expire. If you earn 18 points today, your total points could go from 180 - 3 + 18 = 195, just meeting or exceeding the threshold to redeem!
If the threshold is too high, you may need to wait for several 'days when rewards were redeemed 15 days ago' to expire before you can gather enough for one exchange.
15 days is a cyclical period:
Since everything is linked to a 15-day cycle, once your operations stabilize, your redemption behavior will also exhibit a pattern of every 15 days. During this cycle, there may be days when you do not redeem rewards from 15 days ago, leading to a significant drop in total points due to expired points, and some days where redeeming rewards from 15 days ago results in fewer expired points, causing your total points to rise quickly and surpass the threshold.
How to choose the strategy that suits you best?
How many points can you consistently acquire daily? This is fundamental. If you can only earn a maximum of 17 points daily, then pursuing a strategy of 18 points is pointless.
What is the redemption threshold set by the event? Our analysis is based on simulated thresholds. You need to adjust according to the actual thresholds.
How much effort are you willing to put in? Fixed point acquisition is the simplest, but alternating '17, 17, 18' may yield slightly higher returns (in case of matching thresholds).
Core Principle:
Do not let your points expire and go to waste! Keep a close eye on the 15-day window.
If you can exchange, do it! As long as you reach the threshold, exchange decisively, because the act of redemption itself will also affect your future point accumulation rhythm. The earlier you redeem, the sooner you enter the next 'accumulate points - redeem' cycle. While waiting may yield higher rewards from airdrop redemptions, this strategy is designed to maximize your redemption frequency.
Simple Summary:
If you can consistently earn 18 points daily and the threshold is around 195 points, then Strategy Five is your best choice, yielding the most rewards!
If you can't achieve that many, or if the threshold changes, you can refer to other strategies. The core is to ensure that 'Daily Acquisition - Net value expired 15 days ago' can help you cross the threshold when you are close.
Remember, all of these are based on the current rules. Binance's activity rules may change, so please refer to the latest official announcements and adjust your strategy flexibly!
I hope this 'plain language' guide can help all Alpha task enthusiasts! Wishing you plenty of points and rewards!
