⚠️ Important Update: Airdrop Phased Distribution (Starting June 19)
Binance is rolling out the Alpha Airdrop in two distinct phases to ensure broader and fairer access:
🔹 Phase 1: Priority Claim Window
Only users who meet a higher Alpha Point threshold (X) will be able to claim.
This phase will run for a limited, predefined period.
🔹 Phase 2: Open Claim Pool
The Alpha Point threshold will be reduced (Y < X).
Claims will be first-come, first-served until the token pool is depleted or the event ends.
This tiered rollout ensures that early, highly engaged users are rewarded first, while still giving a chance to others in the community during the second phase.
