#BinanceAlphaPoints Some things that may not be so well known about Binance's Alpha Points:

* **Not just for maintaining the balance:** While keeping a balance in your Binance wallet (including Alpha tokens and other cryptocurrencies in Spot) gives you daily points, the amount is not linear. Increases in points for balance are by ranges (e.g., $100-$999 gives 1 point, $1000-$9999 gives 2 points, etc.), which means slightly exceeding a threshold will not necessarily give you many more points.

* **Trading volume is key (and strategic):** The way points are calculated for trading volume of Alpha tokens has an interesting detail. Doubling your daily purchase volume only gives you 1 additional point. For example, buying $2 gives you 1 point, $4 gives you 2 points, $8 gives you 3 points, $16 gives you 4 points, and $32 gives you 5 points. From $32 onwards, the marginal return decreases significantly. Many users find that making small, consistent daily purchases (around $16-$32) is more efficient in terms of points per dollar spent than making large occasional purchases.

* **Selling does not reduce points:** It is important to know that selling the Alpha tokens you buy does not decrease your accumulated Alpha Points. This allows users to participate in point accumulation through trading without needing to hold large amounts of Alpha tokens if they do not wish to.

* **Dynamic thresholds for airdrops/TGEs:** While Binance has mentioned a minimum threshold of 45 accumulated points over the last 15 days to participate in some events (like the recent TGE of OKZOO), this threshold may vary for future airdrops and TGEs. Being above the recommended minimum (aiming for 6 points daily to ensure eligibility) could be beneficial to secure an allocation or increase participation chances.

* **The "best" points strategy:** Combining a strategy of maintaining a minimum balance (for example, $100 to earn 1 daily point) with a daily trading strategy of small amounts of Alpha tokens (for example, $16 to earn 4 daily points) can be an efficient way to accumulate points daily without needing to tie up large amounts of capital or make very large trades.

* **Check the news section:** To find the Alpha Points section within the Binance app, some users may not find it directly. The path is: Binance homepage > More > "News" section (scroll down) > Alpha Points.

* **Instant airdrops:** For some launch events in Binance Alpha (like the upcoming listing of SIGN), users who exceed the Alpha Points threshold will receive the airdrop of tokens a few minutes after trading starts.

I hope these details help you better understand Binance's Alpha Points system. Good luck accumulating points!
