The Binance Alpha Points system has become an important threshold for obtaining Token Generation Events (TGE) and airdrop opportunities. As the number of participants increases, the points requirements are also rising. This article will comprehensively analyze the calculation mechanism of Alpha Points and provide various strategies to help you efficiently increase points, including low-cost trading techniques, asset allocation optimization, and participation methods for the latest activities.
Alpha Points basics and calculation mechanism
What is Alpha Points?
Alpha Points is a user activity assessment system launched by Binance, used to measure user participation in the Binance wallet ecosystem. The higher the points, the greater the qualification for participating in TGE activities and Alpha airdrops. Recently, TGE activities like MilkyWay have raised the participation threshold to 75 points, while HAEDAL airdrop requires over 80 points.
Points calculation principle
Alpha Points are based on the cumulative total of daily balance points and trading volume points over the past 15 days:
Balance Points:
- 100-1,000 USD: 1 point daily
- 1,000-10,000 USD: 2 PM daily
- 10,000-100,000 USD: 3 points daily
- 100,000 USD and above: 4 points daily (upper limit)
Trading volume points (purchase Alpha tokens):
- 2 USD → 1 point
- 4 USD → 2 points
- 8 USD → 3 points
- 16 USD → 4 points
- 32 USD → 5 points
- 64 USD → 6 points
- 128 USD → 7 points
- 256 USD → 8 points
- 512 USD → 9 points
- 1,024 USD → 10 points
(continue to increase in multiples of 2)
Note: Points are updated daily at 8:00 AM UTC, based on the cumulative values of the previous 15 days.
Core strategies for efficiently increasing points
1. Optimal balance between balance and trading volume
Based on the latest TGE activity requirement of 75 points threshold, here are several compliance plans:
Large asset holders:
- Hold 100,000 USD for 15 days: 45 points (3×15)
- Daily trading of 32 USD: 5 points × 15 = 75 points
- Total points = 120
Medium asset users:
- Hold 10,000 USD for 15 days: 30 points (2×15)
- Daily trading of 64 USD: 6 points × 15 = 90 points
- Total points = 120
Small asset users:
- Hold 100 USD for 15 days: 15 points (1×15)
- Daily trading of 512 USD: 9 AM × 15 = 135 points
- Total points = 150
Key point: For users with assets under 100,000, increasing trading frequency is more effective than merely increasing asset holdings.
2. Low-cost trading techniques
To minimize transaction losses, the following methods are recommended:
Choose highly liquid tokens to reduce slippage losses
Set reasonable slippage: Usually 0.5%-1% can avoid transaction failures
Batch small transactions: For example, split daily 32 USD into two 16 USD transactions (same points earned)
Focus on low volatility periods: Trading during stable market conditions can reduce price fluctuation risks
3. Multi-account strategy (use with caution)
Some experienced players diversify funds through multiple compliant accounts:
- Each account holds 10,000 USD + daily trading of 32 USD
- 5 accounts can cover more airdrop opportunities
- Risk warning: Ensure each account completes KYC and does not violate platform rules
Advanced enhancement plan
1. Participate in the secure cryptocurrency ecosystem
In addition to Alpha trading, the following activities can also indirectly increase account value:
Launchpool/Launchpad: Stake BNB, FDUSD, etc. to receive airdrops
HODLer Airdrop: Holding specific tokens may trigger automatic airdrops (search "HODLer Airdrops" in the App)
Trading competition: Participate in various trading events organized by Binance
Web3 wallet activity: Use Binance Web3 wallet for interaction
2. Information acquisition and timing grasp
Enable app push notifications: Get new airdrop information as soon as possible
Follow official channels: Binance Twitter, Telegram, Square, etc.
Observe new token listings: Pay special attention to projects with "First Listing/Exclusive" labels
Seize early benefits: The points requirement for new projects is usually lower in the early stages
Risk control and precautions
1. Cost-benefit analysis:
- Based on HAEDAL airdrop of 356 tokens (worth about 46 USD), the cost per account should be controlled within 30 USD
- Avoid purchasing high-risk tokens for point boosting
2. Rule change warning:
- Points threshold will be raised periodically (from 45 points → 75 points)
- More dimensions may be introduced in the future (such as holding time, community contributions, etc.)
3. Fund security:
- Do not easily trust third-party point boosting services
- Enable 2FA and other security measures
Practical case reference
Case 1: Low-cost meet the 75 points requirement
- Asset allocation: 5,000 USD (2 points daily × 15 days = 30 points)
- Trading strategy: Daily trading of 64 USD (6 points × 15 = 90 points)
- Total points: 120
- Estimated cost: 64×15×0.2% (transaction fee) ≈ 2 USD
Case 2: Large holder optimization plan
- Asset allocation: 500,000 USD (daily 4 points × 15 = 60 points)
- Trading strategy: Daily trading of 16 USD (4 points × 15 = 60 points)
- Total points: 120
- Advantages: Extremely low trading costs and high account quality
Note: The above is based on historical data, actual returns may vary with market fluctuations.
Summary and suggestions
With the development of Binance Alpha ecosystem, the points system will become the core channel for obtaining quality airdrops. Users are advised:
1. Layout early: Points threshold may continue to rise, earlier participation has lower costs
2. Balancing strategy: Choose the best ratio of balance to trading volume based on fund size
3. Continuous participation: Maintain regular trading to avoid points expiration (15-day rolling calculation)
4. Diverse participation: Combine Launchpool, HODLer airdrop, and other channels to enhance returns
Final reminder: The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, all strategies should control risks, and only invest funds you can afford to lose. It is recommended to regularly check Binance official announcements for the latest rule adjustments.
