Binance Alpha Points are changing the way users access early-stage Web3 opportunities. They function as a scoring system designed to evaluate user activity within the Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet ecosystem. These points are used to determine a user's eligibility for campaigns, such as Token Generation Event (TGE) participation and Alpha token airdrops. Originally, they decided eligibility, and now, they also influence how much you get.

What are Binance Alpha Points

Binance Alpha Points reflect your engagement in the Binance Alpha ecosystem. This engagement spans across trading, token holding, and Web3 activity conducted via Binance Wallet. They are part of a mechanism that allows users to participate in exclusive TGEs or claim Alpha airdrops.

How to Earn Binance Alpha Points

Binance Alpha Points are calculated daily based on a daily snapshot at 23:59:59 (UTC). The calculation uses a rolling 15-day window, meaning your total point balance consists of points earned and spent over the past 15 days. Your total points are the sum of your daily points combining Balance points and Volume points over this 15-day period.

There are two main factors contributing to your daily Binance Alpha Points:

  1. Balance Points: These are based on your total asset holdings. Eligible holdings include Spot listed tokens across all accounts on Binance Exchange and specific tokens within Binance Wallet (limited to Binance Alpha tokens and tokens available on Binance spot market only). Assets not supported in Binance Spot or Alpha trading (like LSD tokens) are not eligible. Balance points are calculated daily using a tiered structure based on the USD-equivalent value of eligible assets.

    $100 to < $1,000 = 1 point/day

    $1,000 to < $10,000 = 2 points/day

    $10,000 to < $100,000 = 3 points/day

    $100,000 and above = 4 points/day

    Balances in sub-accounts are merged into the master account's score, and splitting balances across separate accounts to gain more points is not allowed10. Only master accounts are eligible to earn points

  2. Volume Points: These are based on your total purchase volume of Alpha tokens. Only transactions made through Binance Exchange and Binance Keyless Wallet are eligible for Volume Points. If a wallet is imported or exported, its trading volume will not be counted. Re-imported wallets are no longer considered keyless. Transactions where the payment currency is either a Binance Alpha token or a token listed on the Binance spot market will be eligible. Transactions paid with any other tokens will not be counted. The USD-equivalent market price at the time of the trade is used to measure Alpha token values. Selling Alpha tokens does not affect points. Volume Points are calculated using a formula where you earn 1 additional point for each doubling of your purchase volume.

    $2 → 1 point

    $4 → 2 points

    $8 → 3 points

    $16 → 4 points

    $32 → 5 points

    For example, $64 equals 6 points, $128 equals 7 points, and so on9. If you buy $600 worth of Alpha tokens and sell $500 later, you are still credited for the full $600 purchase volume12

    Transactions made after an Alpha token gets listed for spot trading are not counted toward Alpha volume.

How to Use Binance Alpha Points

To participate in Binance Alpha airdrops or exclusive TGEs, users need to confirm the claiming of their Binance Alpha Points on the event page. Points are spent immediately when you confirm participation in an Alpha event. The points you spend will be reflected in your total points on the following day.

You can find the latest Alpha events by searching for "Alpha event" on your homepage or by navigating from the home page via the user profile icon, tapping [More Services], and searching for [Alpha events]. You can also save "Alpha events" as a shortcut on your homepage.

After confirming participation and spending points for an airdrop, please allow 1 - 2 days for airdrops to be credited to your Binance Wallet address.

Conclusion

Binance Alpha Points serve as a reward mechanism reflecting your engagement with the Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet ecosystem. By holding eligible assets and purchasing Alpha tokens through approved channels, you can earn points daily based on a rolling 15-day window. These points are essential for participating in exclusive events like TGEs and airdrops. Remember that points expire after 15 days, and spending points to confirm participation is optional but required to claim benefits from these events. The points you spend are deducted immediately upon confirmation and reflected the next day. Staying active is key to maximizing your Alpha Point balance and access to opportunities.
