Daily challenges requiring users to collect a “GR‑8 Card” and complete tasks—trading, social sharing, tutorials—to earn meteorites. Accumulating 28+ meteorites allowed entry into a BNB rewards pool of up to 888,888 BNB .

A USDC voucher promotion, offering shares of 8,888 USDC to users who completed social tasks—following, posting, sharing with specific criteria—earning up to 5 USDC each .

This anniversary celebration wasn’t limited to online activities. Binance also hosted global community events and meet‑ups—like a celebration in Kampala on July 12—and virtual gatherings to bring users together worldwide .
