Since the ZKJ and KOGE incidents, as of yesterday the 23rd, there are currently 16,351 people interacting with Alpha (grinding 16 points), down from the peak of 115,798 (on the 12th, grinding 16 points), showing a drop of 85.86% in participation (this is just for grinding 16 points).

Since the start of the Alpha 'score reduction mechanism', Alpha has launched 5 projects:
MAT: 243 points - 210 points, secondary single number earnings: 22 dollars
AVAIL: 253 points - 199 points, secondary single number earnings: 60 dollars
BRIC: 251 points - 226 points, secondary single number earnings: 14 dollars
BULLA: 247 points - 186 points, secondary single number earnings: 42 dollars
CARV: 247 points - 198 points, secondary single number earnings: 50 dollars
Total earnings are: 188 dollars
If according to the score before the 'score reduction mechanism' it was 240 points, then with 5 airdrop projects, you can receive three (MAT, AVAIL, BULLA), with total earnings of 188 dollars.
Regarding this earnings situation, how should I say it, compared to the previous Alpha airdrop earnings, these three airdrops do not match one of the previous airdrops, but being able to consistently earn is also very good, and it can help maintain your recent wear and tear. The lower threshold points also make point grinding more hopeful.
But is it really that smooth? Not necessarily, there is a major issue, which I mentioned earlier: claim rush.
Due to the score reduction mechanism, airdrops operate on a 'first come, first served' basis, so once the secondary claim time arrives, a large number of accounts will flood into the airdrop claim interface, which will cause the page to lag and continuously display errors, leading to unsuccessful claims.
However, after these several secondary claims, based on my own situation: If you go to claim the airdrop and the airdrop interface shows 'error message', ignore that, continue to click to claim, if 'error message' appears again, keep clicking to claim, repeat until the claiming ends (this time won't be too long, generally 1-2 minutes will indicate claiming is complete), then return to your Alpha account funds page to check. Even though the claiming kept showing 'error message', you will most likely still receive the airdrop; I have experienced this many times.
But if you get stuck on 'facial verification' in the middle, just keep clicking until the facial verification is successful. However, once facial verification is required, it can basically be declared a failure, because facial verification is too complicated and takes too long, and you can't compete with others (though there is a small chance of success).
However, the premise of both is: never exit the interface or exit the APP. Because once you exit, you won't be able to get back in. Just keep clicking on the page. This might be a mystical theory, but in my own experience, I have successfully claimed several times this way, hoping to help everyone.
But my principle has always been: 'If others don’t do it, I will; if few people do it, there’s more to gain.'
With the new Alpha model updated yesterday by Binance: Pre-sale + Booster task airdrop. In my personal understanding, this will demotivate more people from grinding Alpha points.
Let me briefly introduce these two modes:
First of all, these two modes are based on TGE, dividing the existing TGE model into three:
· Direct TGE: That is, we say 3 BNB invested, after the end, excess funds are refunded, and the token quota is split, tokens can be traded directly.
· TGE pre-sale: Based on TGE, tokens will not be released immediately after subscription (locked), and the specific release cycle depends on the project party.
· Booster task airdrop: Complete Binance tasks to obtain token quotas, and tokens are also locked.
The difference between the three is:
· Direct TGE: There are threshold points that will consume points, but you can directly receive tokens.
· TGE pre-sale: Also has threshold points and will consume points, although tokens are locked, the subscribed token price is cheaper.
· Booster task airdrop: There is a threshold, but no points are deducted.
Therefore, if a project wants to launch on Binance Alpha, it needs to leave tokens for:
· The interactive airdrop share of the project itself
· The Alpha 'airdrop & TGE' share, or Alpha pre-sale
· Alpha task airdrop share
At the same time, for Binance, it has integrated the airdrop platform, new listing platform, and task platform into its own wallet.
Additionally, Binance also understands: I want to bring the user base back to its peak while keeping these users active daily. Regardless of how many points you start with, there’s hope for getting airdrop shares in all three modes.
The top-level scheme has started again!
