#BinanceAlphaPoints **Binance Alpha Points: A Comprehensive Guide**

Binance Alpha Points are a user engagement metric introduced by Binance to reward active participants in its ecosystem, particularly for Web3 initiatives like token launches and airdrops. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how the system works and how users can optimize their rewards:

---

### **1. What Are Alpha Points?**

Alpha Points are a scoring mechanism that evaluates user activity based on two primary factors:

- **Balance Points**: Earned by holding assets (spot tokens and Alpha tokens) in your Binance account or Binance Wallet. The points scale with holdings (e.g., $100–$1,000 = 1 point; $100,000+ = 4 points) .

- **Volume Points**: Generated by purchasing Alpha tokens. The formula rewards incremental trading volume (e.g., $2 = 1 point, $8 = 3 points, $1,024 = 10 points). Selling tokens does not contribute to points .

Points are updated daily before 1:00 PM UTC and calculated over a rolling 15-day period .

### **2. Purpose of Alpha Points**

The system prioritizes loyal users for exclusive opportunities:

- **IDO Access**: Eligibility for Initial DEX Offerings (e.g., EthSign’s SIGN token listing on April 28, 2025) .

- **Airdrops**: Users meeting specified thresholds receive token rewards, such as the SIGN airdrop distributed within 10 minutes of trading commencement .
