Binance has added Alpha Points, which is likely a point reward system used for future airdrop eligibility, rewarding users for their activity and participation within the Binance ecosystem.
What are Alpha Points?
Alpha Points are a point system launched by Binance to incentivize users to engage with its trading platform and non-custodial wallet (Binance Web3 Wallet).
How to earn Alpha Points?
In the past 15 days, your points have been calculated and accumulated daily based on the following two dimensions:
1. Balance Points:
This includes the asset balances in your Binance trading account and Binance Web3 non-custodial wallet.
The more balance you have, the more points you earn.
2. Trading Volume Points:
Only the purchase volume of Alpha tokens is counted (sales do not contribute to points).
The more you trade, the higher your points.
What are the points useful for?
In the future, Binance is likely to distribute airdrop rewards based on the Alpha Points you have earned. In other words, the more points you have, the more airdrops you may receive.
It seems that Binance is seriously working on the Alpha system now, and everyone who wants to receive airdrops in the future should interact daily.
