【Alpha Adds New Rules: Potential Benefits for New Accounts】

Today, Binance announced a brand new Alpha project: DEGNE, with a score of 245 points.

At the same time, Binance also introduced new Alpha rules, which are as follows:

"Special Reminder:

Starting June 19, 2025, Binance Alpha airdrops will be distributed in two phases:

Phase 1: Users who meet the score requirement (x) can claim it first, everyone gets a share;

Phase 2: The threshold will be lowered to Y (Y < X), first come, first served, until the reward pool is exhausted or the event ends."

The general meaning is:

In the future, the threshold for Alpha activities will be divided into two parts:

One part is the normal threshold;

The other part is the lowered score threshold.

For example, in the future, Binance's announcements will be:

Assuming Binance releases the Alpha airdrop for Project A, with a threshold score set at: 250 points, users who meet the score can claim the airdrop, claiming time is 4 hours, after 4 hours, the threshold score will drop to 200 points, users who meet the threshold can claim the airdrop, first come, first served, until all are claimed.

What changes will this rule bring?

(1) Since it is "first come, first served," it means that future airdrops will not have reissues.

(2) With the "score lowering mechanism," new accounts with lower scores also have hope, which is Binance's effort to attract new users again.

(3) Since it is "first come, first served," it also proves that the claim time for airdrops may not last until the next day, as they could be claimed out on the first day, so trying to get double benefits might be difficult unless two airdrops are released in one day.

At the same time, there is a concern:

Will there be a situation where the score for phase one is raised and then lowered to the score for phase two, which is to "raise the price first, then offer a discount"?

Overall, Binance's new rules look quite good at first glance, it seems Binance is listening, but upon closer inspection, it's still quite difficult. Just thinking about "speeding fingers" makes one realize they might be out of luck.
