Binance is going to introduce a new consumption mechanism for Binance Alpha points.

General update

1. What is the update of Binance Alpha points about?

This is a new mechanism for consuming Binance Alpha points where points will be spent when users confirm their participation in an exclusive token generation event or claim an Alpha airdrop.

2. How can users participate?

Option 1: search for "Alpha event" on your homepage for the latest events.

Option 2: on the homepage, tap the user profile icon located in the upper left corner. Once you are on the page, tap [More services] and then search for [Alpha Events].

** You can save the "Alpha events" on the homepage by tapping [More] and the shortcut button [Edit], then search for "Alpha event" and tap the [Add] button.

To participate in Binance Alpha airdrops or exclusive token generation events, users must confirm their claim for their Binance Alpha points on the event page.

3. When did this new mechanism come into effect?

The Binance Alpha points consumption mechanism was formally introduced on May 13, 2025.

Time and capture rules

4. Why was my order not included in the calculation of Binance Alpha points for a specific date?

Binance Alpha points are calculated based on a daily capture at 23:59:59 (UTC). All transactions are recorded according to this time zone.

For example, if you are in UTC+8 and made a transaction on April 23 at 2:00 (UTC+8), it will be recorded as a completed transaction on April 22 at 18:00 (UTC) and will count for April 22.

Expiration of points, spending, and balance

5. Do Binance Alpha points automatically expire?

Yes. Binance Alpha points operate on a continuous 15-day cycle. Therefore, each Alpha point will automatically expire exactly 15 days after the capture date.

6. When are points spent?

Binance Alpha points will be spent immediately when you confirm your participation in an Alpha event (for example, Alpha airdrops or token generation events).

The points you spend will be reflected in your total points the next day.

7. Can I choose whether to spend points on an airdrop?

Yes. Participation in any event is optional. You can choose whether or not to spend your Binance Alpha points.

8. What happens after an Alpha token is listed for spot trading?

If an Alpha token is listed for spot trading, transactions made after its listing do not count towards Alpha volume.

9. Does the type of wallet matter for tracking Alpha volume?

Yes. Only transactions through the Binance wallet (non-custodial) and the centralized Binance exchange are valid. If a wallet is imported or exported, its trading volume will not count towards Alpha volume. Note that re-imported wallets are no longer considered non-custodial.

10. How is my daily balance of Binance Alpha points calculated?

Your daily balance of Binance Alpha points is calculated using a rolling 15-day period. This means your balance consists of all the points you have earned and spent over the last 15 days. Here’s how it works:

Breakdown example:

From April 28 to May 12:

On May 13, the 15-day review period is between April 28 and May 12.

From day 1 to day 15: you earn 10 points per day from day 1 to day 10 and do not earn points from day 11 to day 15, totaling 100 points.

Today (May 13): you spend 5 points, but your balance remains at 100 points on this day because the spending reflects the next day.

From April 29 to May 13:

On May 14, points earned on April 28 expire as the rolling period progresses. The 15-day period is now between April 29 and May 13.

From day 1 to day 15 (from April 29 to May 13): you have 90 points left.

Today (May 14): the 5 points you spent on May 13 are already reflected, reducing your balance to 85 points.

From April 30 to May 14:

On May 15, points earned on April 29 expire as the rolling period progresses. The 15-day period is now between April 30 and May 14.

From day 1 to day 15 (from April 30 to May 14): you have 75 points.

Today (May 15): your balance is now 75 points.

Wait a couple of days for airdrops to be credited to your Binance wallet address after participating.

Others

1. What are Binance Alpha points?

Binance Alpha points are a scoring system designed to assess user activity within the Binance Alpha ecosystem and the Binance wallet, determining whether the user meets the requirements of campaigns, such as participation in token generation events (TGE) and Alpha token airdrops.

2. What are Binance Alpha tokens?

Binance Alpha tokens refer to the tokens presented in the Binance Alpha section on the Binance exchange and in the Binance wallet. Binance Alpha was announced on 12/17/2024 as a platform designed to highlight early-stage projects with growth potential within the Web3 ecosystem. While some tokens highlighted in Binance Alpha may be ready to be listed on the spot markets and the Binance exchange in the future, it is not guaranteed that this will be the case.

3. How are Binance Alpha points calculated?

Binance Alpha points are calculated daily based on the sum of the two factors below:

Balance points: the total assets you hold on the Binance exchange (tokens included in the spot list across all accounts and in the Binance Alpha account) and in the Binance wallet (limited to Binance Alpha tokens and tokens available only in the Binance spot market; tokens that are not eligible for trading in Binance Alpha or spot, such as LSD tokens, are not considered valid assets).

Volume points: your total purchase volume of Alpha tokens* through Binance Exchange and the non-custodial Binance wallet. Only transactions where the payment currency is a Binance Alpha token or a token listed in the Binance spot market will count towards volume points. Transactions paid with any other token will not count.

Selling Alpha tokens does not affect the points.

The total of your Binance Alpha points = the sum of your daily points combining balance points and volume points over the last 15 days.

4. How are balance points calculated?

Balance points are calculated based on the following tiered structure:

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

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

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

$100,000 and more = 4 points/day

Capture time zone: UTC

5. How are volume points calculated?

Volume points are calculated using the following formula:

2 $ → 1 point

4 $ → 2 points

8 $ → 3 points

16 $ → 4 points

32 $ → 5 points

Note: you will earn 1 additional point for each doubling of your purchase volume. For example, $64 = 6 points, $128 = 7 points, and so on.

6. Can I split my $100,000 into several sub-accounts to earn more points in each account?

Only main accounts are eligible to earn Binance Alpha points. Balances from sub-accounts are merged into the main account score. Dividing balances between separate accounts to earn more points is not permitted.

7. What exchange rate is used to calculate my balance or trading value?

The values of Alpha tokens are measured using the equivalent market price in USD at the time of the transaction. This way, you ensure a reasonable and consistent point tracking.

8. If I buy Alpha tokens worth $600 and then sell $500, do I still earn volume points for the $600?

Yes. The token purchase mechanics track your purchase volume, not your current holdings. Therefore, you will be credited the total of $600 in Alpha tokens you purchased, even if you sell some later.

Binance reserves the right to change, modify, or impose additional restrictions regarding user eligibility to participate in token generation events (TGE) and Alpha token airdrops, including criteria for calculating Binance Alpha points, at its sole discretion at any time and without prior notice.

Using the Binance wallet is optional. You are responsible for deciding whether this product is suitable for you. Binance is not responsible for your access to third-party applications or your use of them (including the functionality built into the Binance wallet) and will not assume any liability regarding the use of such third-party applications, including, among others, any transaction you dispute.

Binance Alpha presents emerging digital assets that are not included on the Binance exchange and are generally expected to have a low market capitalization and unique or novel features. The inclusion of a digital asset as an Alpha asset does not imply in any way, directly or indirectly, that such digital asset will be included on the Binance exchange in the future. Since the prices of digital assets can be volatile, the value of any investment you make in Alpha assets can go up or down, and there is a possibility of losing all or part of the value of the amount you invest. Please note that, with respect to Binance Alpha: i) the risk of losing all or part of your investment is magnified with Alpha assets, as they are subject to greater price volatility; ii) by purchasing Alpha assets, you expose yourself to price declines and blockchain fees, which may negatively affect the price of Alpha assets; iii) Alpha assets cannot be withdrawn from the Binance exchange and you can only access them from your Binance Alpha account. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions. Binance will not be liable under any circumstances for any losses you may incur arising directly or indirectly from an investment in Binance Alpha assets.
