🚫 Skip Binance Alpha Points farming — unless you're trading with serious size ($1k+). [UPDATED]
To hit the new 240-point airdrop target, you need 10 points/day, meaning:
📆 24 days of farming at ~$1,024 daily volume.
But here’s the math that stings 😬
Let’s break down the fee burn across different capital sizes:
🔹 With $100:
Max volume per swap = $100
$100 ≈ between $64–$128 → gives you ~7 points/swap
240 ÷ 7 = ~35 swaps
You can do 2–3 swaps/day, so about 12–18 days
Fees: 35 swaps × $0.50 = $17.50 total
🔸 With $500:
Max volume per swap = $500
$500 ≈ just below $512 → 9 points/swap
240 ÷ 9 = ~27 swaps
You can do 1–2 swaps/day, so around 13–14 days
Fees: 27 × $0.50 = $13.50 total
🔶 With $1000:
One swap of $1,000 ≈ $1024 = 10 points/swap
240 ÷ 10 = 24 swaps
You can do 1 swap/day, need 24 days
Fees: 24 × $0.50 = $12 total
⚠️ That’s without even counting slippage, price impact, or bad fills.
On high-volatility days, you could easily be dumping into red candles — all for a chance at an airdrop.
🤔 Still worth it?
So… are the weekly rewards enough to balance out the fees (and potential losses) you rack up daily?
Unless you're just hunting raffle drops (which need ~50 points), you may want to think twice.
