Binance Alpha Points is a rewards system launched by Binance to assess user activity in the Binance Alpha ecosystem and Binance wallet, and to determine user eligibility for participation in Token Generation Events (TGE), airdrops, and other activities. Here are the detailed instructions on how to earn Alpha Points:
Two main ways to earn Alpha Points
Alpha Points are composed of **Asset Balance Points and Volume Points, calculated on a rolling 15-day basis, updated daily, with an expiration time of 15 days. Here are the specific methods:
1. Holding Assets (Balance Points)
Method: Hold eligible assets in the main account of the Binance exchange (including spot accounts) and the Binance Web3 wallet (non-custodial wallet), including Alpha tokens and tokens supported in the spot market (tokens not supported, such as LSD, are not eligible).
Points Rules:
Asset balance of $100-$1,000: 1 point per day
Asset balance of $1,000-$10,000: 2 points per day
Asset balance of $10,000-$100,000: 3 points per day
Asset balance ≥ $100,000: 4 points per day (maximum)
Recommendation: Maintain a balance of at least $100 to start accumulating points, suitable for long-term holders, no need for frequent operations.
2. Purchase Alpha Tokens (Volume Points)
Method: Purchase Alpha tokens through the Binance platform or Binance Web3 wallet (only buy transactions count, sales do not count).
Points Rules:
First purchase of $2 in Alpha tokens: 1 point
For every doubled purchase amount, gain an additional 1 point. For example:
$4: 2 points
$8: 3 points
$1,024: 10 points
Special Offer: Purchasing Alpha tokens on the BNB Chain (BSC) earns double points, and BSC chain transaction fees are low (typically $0.01-$0.03), suitable for high-frequency trading to quickly accumulate points.
Recommendation:
Choose Alpha tokens with high liquidity and low price volatility (such as tokens on the BSC chain) for trading to reduce slippage and costs.
Set slippage to 0.1%-0.2% to improve trade success rates.
3. Provide Liquidity (Liquidity Points)
Method: Provide liquidity to the Alpha token pool on PancakeSwap v3 through the Binance Alpha Earn Hub, with liquidity positions required to include at least one Alpha token; the other token can be an Alpha token or a token supported in the spot market.
Points Rules: Starting from June 11, 2025, liquidity positions will be counted in the calculation of Alpha Points, with specific points calculated based on position size and transaction fee earnings.
Benefits: In addition to points, earn an annual percentage rate (APR) on transaction fees.
Participation Steps
1. Create and verify your account:
Register an account on the Binance official website and complete KYC identity verification, which is a prerequisite for participating in the Alpha Points program.
Download the Binance App (iOS or Android), and set up the Binance Web3 wallet in the App (version must be ≥2.93.0).
2. Fund preparation:
Ensure your account has sufficient funds (such as BNB, ETH, or SOL) for purchasing Alpha tokens or providing liquidity.
Participating in TGE usually requires a fund preparation of 3 BNB.
3. Check Points:
In the Binance Web3 wallet, go to the 'Alpha Events' page to check the 15-day rolling points balance.
4. Participate in Activities:
Regularly check Binance official announcements or the Alpha Events page for the latest airdrops and TGE activities.
Airdrops usually need to be manually claimed, with a claiming window typically of 24-48 hours, and the 'Claim' button must be clicked within the specified time.
Optimization Strategy for Low-Cost Points Accumulation: Conduct small, high-frequency trades (each $2-$10) on the BSC chain to quickly accumulate points by utilizing double points and low gas fees.
Automated Trading: Users with technical skills can set up automated trading scripts through the Binance API, pre-setting buy and sell prices to reduce manual operation time.
Follow Promotional Activities: Binance will periodically launch double points events (such as trading on the BSC chain or limit orders), which can significantly enhance points efficiency.
Risk Control: Choose high liquidity tokens, set low slippage (0.1%-0.2%), and avoid losses due to price fluctuations.
Notes
Points Validity: Points reset every 15 days, and continuous activity is required to maintain high points.
Airdrop Threshold: The recent airdrop threshold has risen to 200-237 points, requiring more trading or higher balances to meet the requirements.
Risk Warning: Alpha tokens are early-stage projects with high price volatility; investment should be cautious, and it is recommended to do thorough research and control costs.
Avoid Violations: Binance monitors abnormal behaviors (such as point accumulation through multiple accounts), which may lead to disqualification.
Earnings Potential
According to data, accounts participating in all Alpha activities by May 2025 have an average earnings of about $1,239; operating multiple accounts can amplify earnings (e.g., 4 accounts can reach $4,956, approximately 36,000 RMB). Recent airdrops (such as $NXPC) can yield up to $600 for a single account.
Through the above methods, Binance wallet users can effectively accumulate Alpha Points by holding assets, purchasing Alpha tokens, or providing liquidity, thereby participating in airdrops and TGE activities. It is recommended to follow Binance's official channels (such as X account @binance) for the latest activity information.
