In the race for quality airdrop and IDO, Binance has just launched a new point calculation system called Alpha Points, for users active on Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet (Binance's Web3 wallet). So what are Alpha Points, and how to farm them to have a chance to receive free Alpha tokens and participate in the hottest TGE (Token Generation Event)?

What are Alpha Points?

Alpha Points are a daily point system developed by Binance to:

  • Evaluate the user's activity level on Binance Alpha and Binance wallet.

  • It serves as the basis for selecting who qualifies for airdrops, participates in IDOs, or the upcoming Token Generation Events (TGE).

Points will be updated and accumulated continuously over the last 15 days, the more points, the more opportunities to participate in high-quality token distribution events from Binance.

How Alpha Points are calculated

Alpha Points are divided into two main types:

Balance Points – Points based on asset balance

Your balance in Binance Spot and Binance Wallet (Keyless Address) will be snapshot every day. Points are calculated as follows:

TOTAL BALANCE (USD)POINTS/DAY$100 – $9991 point$1,000 – $9,9992 points$10,000 – $99,9993 points> $100,0004 points

Note: Only tokens that have appeared on Binance Alpha and have been listed on Spot are counted.

Volume Points – Points based on purchase trading volume

Only the purchase volume of Alpha tokens on the Binance exchange or through the Binance Wallet is counted. Each day, you will receive points according to the formula:

  • $2 purchase = 1 point

  • $4 = 2 points

  • $8 = 3 points

  • $16 = 4 points

  • $32 = 5 points

  • $64 = 6 points

  • $128 = 7 points
    …

The larger the volume, the higher the points – but you need to break down purchase orders by day for optimization.

Example: Every day you maintain a $100 balance and buy $32 Alpha tokens
→ Alpha Points per day = (1 point from balance + 5 points from volume) = 6 points/day
→ In 15 days: 6 x 15 = 90 points

Point goals and conditions for participating in TGE/Airdrop

  • The Binance Wallet will implement an airdrop of tokens and is a criterion for participating in the TGE, some recent campaigns such as TGE of B2 require a minimum of 82 pointswithin 15 days.

    Therefore, if you achieve 10–12 points/day, the chance of winning an IDO ticket and an airdrop will be very high.

    Tips to optimize Alpha Points

    Here are some practical tips for farming Alpha Points with low cost and high efficiency:

    1. Break down purchase orders by day – avoid consolidating into one large order to optimize volume points.

      • Instead of buying $16 at once → 4 points, break it down into $2 + $4 + $8 → 6 points.

    2. Choose Solana (SOL) tokens – helps reduce gas fees when purchasing through Web3 wallets.

      1. Prioritize tokens with high liquidity – such as SOL, ETH, BNB… to reduce slippage when buying and selling quickly.

      2. Buying and then selling immediately also counts for points – only purchase volume is counted, selling does not affect.

      3. Only the main account (master account) is counted for points – avoid splitting into sub-accounts.

      Additionally, starting from May 1, 2025, until further notice, Binance has a program that doubles Alpha Points for users as follows:

      During the program, users can receive double Alpha points if they perform the following purchase transactions:

      • Buy Alpha tokens on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

      • Buy Alpha tokens using Limit orders (on any network)

      Note: If a transaction is both a purchase of BSC tokens and uses a Limit order, the system will only count one doubling (not accumulate to x4).

      New calculation formula

      Alpha Volume = 2 * (Value of Alpha tokens purchased on BSC + Value of Limit orders for purchasing Alpha) + Value of other remaining purchase transactions

      Example:

      Suppose the user performs the following transactions:

      • Instantly buy $100 ABC tokens (not on BSC)

      • Instantly buy $110 XYZ tokens (on BSC)

      • Place a Limit order to buy $120 ABC tokens

      • Place a Limit order to buy $130 XYZ tokens (on BSC)

      => Alpha Volume = 100 + (110 × 2) + (120 × 2) + (130 × 2) = 820 USD
      => Equivalent to 9 Alpha Points

      This is a good opportunity for users to optimize their Alpha points at a low cost, especially when combining a reasonable buying strategy and taking advantage of volume doubling.

      Guide to check Alpha Points

      Binance Alpha Points interface

      1. Open the Binance app, update to the latest version.

      2. Go to ADD → select NEWS or type “Alpha Points” in the search bar.

        Track your points daily, develop a suitable farming strategy.

        Summary

        Alpha Points is a new mechanism that provides users with more opportunities to participate in airdrop and IDO programs early on Binance. With a transparent point calculation mechanism updated daily, users can actively farm points by holding assets and regularly purchasing Alpha tokens.
