Suggestions to Optimize Binance Alpha Points Mechanism: Introduce a Posting Threshold in the Square to Curb Score Manipulation

Recently, Binance launched the Alpha Points system, where users can earn points through holding positions, trading, and other activities, thus winning TGE allocations and airdrop opportunities. This mechanism is undoubtedly a positive attempt to incentivize activity, but it also faces a significant issue: many studios engage in score manipulation through bulk account creation and wash trading, severely squeezing the space for genuine users' rights.

To address this, I suggest adding an additional 'Authenticity Identification Factor' to the Alpha Points mechanism - the posting interaction behavior on the Binance Square. The reasons are as follows:

✦ Benefits of Posting Threshold

Raising participation thresholds reduces the feasibility of bulk score manipulation: studios are easily exposed when posting in bulk, which increases labor costs and is not conducive to automated bulk operations.

Filtering genuine users and encouraging community interaction: Genuine users are more inclined to share opinions and discuss projects, and this behavior also serves as proof of their participation in the project.

Enriching the platform's content ecosystem: The posting mechanism will promote content supply on the platform, enhancing user retention and engagement.

✦ Suggested Implementation Methods

Incorporate 'Square Posting' into the Alpha Points evaluation dimensions, for example:

A posting quantity of 1 + number of likes ≥ 5 can unlock a certain type of task;

Posts must go through a review or watermark prevention mechanism to avoid spam;

Posting behavior should be combined with 'Account Level/Real Name System/KYC' to further filter active users;

In the future, 'Content Contributor Points' can also be introduced, linked with the Alpha system, to improve the quality of platform users over the long term.

Conclusion:

The foundation of Web3 lies in genuine users and community co-creation. If the points system becomes a tool for studios to profit, it will ultimately impact ecological fairness and the credibility of projects. I hope the Binance team continues to optimize the system design, allowing a good system to truly benefit early, faithful, and contributing genuine users.
