Alpha Points is a rewards point system developed by Binance to determine users eligible to participate in exclusive token airdrops or TGE (Token Generation Event) – an opportunity to receive tokens early before they are officially listed.
The more Alpha points you accumulate, the more you increase your chances of accessing promising projects on Binance.
⸻
How Are Alpha Points Calculated?
Alpha Points are recorded from two main sources:
1. Equilibrium Point – Based on total assets held (in Alpha tokens):
Total assets held Daily points received
$100 – $1,000 1 point/day
$1,000 – $10,000 2 points/day
$10,000 – $100,000 3 points/day
Above $100,000 4 points/day
2. Volume Points – Based on the amount you purchase Alpha tokens:
Daily purchase value Points received
$2 1 point
$4 2 points
$8 3 points
$16 4 points
$32 5 points
$64 6 points
$128 7 points
$256 8 points
$512 9 points
… +1 point for each subsequent doubling
📌 Note: Only purchases of Alpha tokens count for points. Selling does not decrease points.
⸻
Validity Period of Points
Each Alpha point you earn will be valid for 15 days, according to the 'rolling window' system:
• Points you earn on May 1 will expire on May 16
• Points received on May 2 expire on May 17, and so on
📌 Binance will snapshot the scores each day at 23:59:59 UTC.
For example: If you are in the UTC+2 time zone, you need to complete the transaction before 01:59 the next morning for points to be counted for that day.
⸻
Example: How to Maintain Over 200 Points
Assuming you:
• Hold $10,500 in Alpha tokens → 3 points/day from Equilibrium
• Buy $256 each day → 8 points/day from Volume
👉 Total: 11 points/day × 15 days = 165 points
Want to surpass 200 points?
• Increase purchase amount to $512/day → 9 points/day
• Or increase total holdings to $100,000+ → 4 points/day
🎯 Goal: Earn 13–15 points/day consistently
⸻
Alpha Points Optimization Strategy
1. Hold $10,000+ → maintain 3 points/day from assets
2. Trade daily $128–$512 → earn an additional 7–9 points/day
3. Always consistent – missing 1 day will pull down the total points for 15 days
4. Complete transactions before 23:59 UTC to earn points
5. Wait for the right moment to ‘Request’ – don’t rush to spend points early
⸻
When Will Points Be Redeemed?
You only spend points when actively clicking ‘Request’ to participate in an airdrop or TGE.
• If you do not perform this action, points will continue to accumulate and remain unchanged.
• Once ‘requested’, those points will be permanently deducted and cannot be reversed.
💡 Tip: Only use points for high-quality or high-potential projects.
⸻
What Are Alpha Tokens?
These are early-stage tokens, not yet officially listed but selected and introduced by Binance in the Binance Alpha section.
• High potential – but also comes with risks
• This is the 'preliminary round' before the official token launch
⸻
5 Things to Remember
1. Time zone is very important – all deadlines are calculated based on UTC
2. Selling does not affect points – only buying generates points
3. Sub-accounts do not count – only the main account earns Alpha points
4. Points will expire if not maintained continuously – today’s negligence, losing opportunities for the next 15 days
5. The requirement is proactive action – you control when to use points
⸻
Conclusion
Alpha points are not just numbers – they are tickets that help you enter the world of Web3 airdrops and hunt for the most promising projects early.
👉 Understand the rules – Earn points consistently – Receive valuable tokens.
This is how you maximize opportunities in the Binance ecosystem in 2025.
