As the world's leading cryptocurrency trading platform, Binance often gives back to users or supports specific projects through airdrop activities. The following are the core steps and precautions for participating in Binance airdrops, combined with the latest cases and rules:
#### **1. Complete identity verification (KYC/POA)**
Most of Binance's airdrops require users to verify their identity through KYC (real-name authentication) or POA (proof of address). For example, when Binance Charity airdropped BNB to earthquake victims in Myanmar and Thailand in March 2025, it explicitly required users to complete the authentication before March 31 and receive the token voucher through the reward center before April 14.
**Operational suggestions**:
- Log in to the Binance app, go to [Personal Center] → [Identity Verification], and follow the prompts to submit your ID and address proof.
- Note that certification requirements may vary in different regions, so please pay attention to the details of official announcements.
#### **2. Pay attention to official announcements and airdrop projects**
Binance’s airdrops are generally divided into two categories: **platform event airdrops** (such as Megadrop) and **partner project airdrops** (such as charity donations).
- **Platform activities**: For example, in April 2025, Binance announced KernelDAO as the 4th Megadrop project. Users need to accumulate points by staking BNB and completing tasks in exchange for airdrops.
- **Partner Program**: Such as sudden charity airdrops, which require specific geographic or behavioral conditions (such as users in disaster-stricken areas).
**Operational suggestions**:
- Subscribe to Binance announcements, social media (Twitter/Telegram), and email notifications to get the latest project updates.
- Screen high-potential projects and give priority to airdrops endorsed by Binance or with strong compliance.
#### **3. Participation in platform activities and asset allocation**
Binance airdrops are often linked to user asset holdings or trading behavior. Common ways to participate include:
- **Stake tokens**: Lock BNB, FDUSD and other mainstream tokens to get points.
- **Trading Mission**: Complete trading volume targets in specified markets.
- **Long-term holding**: Some airdrops are awarded to users who hold specific tokens (such as BTC, ETH).
**Operational suggestions**:
- Allocate assets reasonably to avoid short-term fluctuations affecting position requirements.
- Pay attention to the "Reward Center" on the event page. Some airdrops need to be claimed manually.
#### **4. Pay attention to time nodes and compliance requirements**
- **Deadline**: If the charity airdrop has a clear certification and distribution time, you will not be able to receive it after the deadline.
- **Geographical restrictions**: Some airdrops are only available to users in certain countries/regions (e.g. the FTX EU user asset return program must be processed through the Backpack EU platform).
- **Tax declaration**: Some countries require airdrop income to be taxed, and transaction records must be kept for reference (for example, the tax exemption policy in Rhode Island, USA, only applies to small transactions).
#### **5. Risk Management and Asset Security**
- **Beware of phishing links**: Only participate in activities through Binance official channels to avoid leaking private keys or verification codes.
- **Assess project risks**: Some new project airdrop tokens may have poor liquidity or volatile value, so please hold them with caution.
#### **Case Reference**
- **Charity Airdrop**: In March 2025, Binance airdropped $1.5 million in BNB to certified users in the earthquake-stricken areas of Myanmar and Thailand, highlighting the characteristics of geographic targeting and rapid response.
- **Megadrop Project**: Participation in projects such as KernelDAO requires a combination of staking and task systems, which is suitable for long-term active users.
### Conclusion
Binance airdrops are an important way to obtain crypto assets, but successful participation requires timely information acquisition, compliance operations and risk management. Users are advised to check their account status regularly and track their progress using the "Reward Center" function of the Binance APP.
