🧮 What Are Alpha Points?
A scoring system based on a combination of asset holdings and purchase activity within the past 15 days on Binance Exchange and Wallet (for eligible tokens) .
Balance Points (based on account holdings):
≥ $1000: 2 points
≥ $10,000: 3 points
≥ $100,000: 4 points
(Lower tiers receive fewer points.)
Volume Points:
Begin at 1 point for the first $2 of qualifying purchases, then 1 additional point per doubling amount (e.g. $4 = 2 pts, $8 = 3 pts…) .
Points are cumulative over rolling 15‑day window and are recalculated daily at around 06:00 UTC .

🚨 Risks & Considerations
Alpha assets are highly experimental: they often come with elevated volatility and risk. They may or may not be listed later on Binance Exchange .
Alpha Assets cannot be withdrawn until possibly listed on the main platform.
Points are non-transferrable and don’t accumulate indefinitely—rolling window applies.

In short, Binance Alpha Events allow you early access to new tokens via airdrops or TGEs, if you accumulate and spend Alpha Points. Points reflect recent activity, and each eligible event has its own conditions—including when it opens, minimum points needed, and tokens awarded.
