One: What are Alpha points?


Binance Alpha points are a scoring system used to assess user activity in the Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet ecosystems, determining your eligibility to participate in activities such as Token Generation Events (TGE) and Alpha token airdrops. Binance Alpha points are calculated daily based on the total balance of your assets on the Binance exchange and your purchase amount of Alpha tokens.

It should be noted that selling Alpha tokens at this stage will not contribute to Alpha points. Alpha points are the total daily points accumulated over the past 15 days, combining balance points and trading volume points.

Three: Alpha balance points rules

The Alpha points system is Binance's mechanism for measuring user engagement and activity.
Points are mainly calculated based on the following two parts:
· Asset balance: The total value of the user's held spot and Alpha tokens over the past 15 days.
· Trading volume: The trading volume of the user's daily purchases of Alpha tokens over the past 15 days.
Points directly affect whether users can participate in Binance's TGE or airdrop activities.

 

① Balance points rules (calculated daily)

Asset points include the total assets held in the centralized exchange and Binance Wallet. Among them, the centralized exchange assets are limited to tokens listed on Binance spot across all accounts and assets in the Alpha account; Binance wallet assets are limited to Alpha tokens and tokens listed on Binance spot. Other tokens not displayed in the Alpha area and those that cannot be traded on the Binance spot market, such as LSD tokens, are not considered qualified assets. Based on the total value of tokens held by the user on the Binance exchange and MPC wallet (in USD), the following points can be earned daily:

Summary:
The minimum threshold is $100 to earn 1 point.
The higher the balance, the higher the points, but the return on investment decreases progressively (for example, $1,000 earns only 1 point more than $100).

② Trading volume points rules (calculated daily)
Points are calculated based on the user's daily purchase amount of Alpha tokens (in USD) as follows: 1 point for purchasing $2, and thereafter, for every doubling of the trading volume, an additional 1 point is earned.

Summary:

A trading volume of $32 earns 5 points, which is the most cost-effective.
As the trading volume doubles, the cost-effectiveness will decrease accordingly.

Four: Current optimal score achievement strategy

· Trading part: Daily trading of $4 in Alpha tokens (2 points per day)
· Total earnings: 3 points per day, totaling 45 points over 15 days, reaching the subscription threshold.

Strategy overview (6-point standard)
· Holding part: Hold a total balance of $1,000 (2 points per day, including BNB, USDT, etc.)

Five: Frequently Asked Questions


① How many points are needed to participate in the next airdrop or TGE?
According to the new regulations, a minimum of 3 points per day, totaling 45 points, is required for subscription.
It is recommended to set a target of 6 points per day to ensure a smooth review for a high allocation limit.

② Will Alpha points expire?
Points are calculated based on performance over the past 15 days; it is recommended to continuously hold and trade to avoid point drop.
Until there is an official announcement about changes or cancellation of this points system, users can maintain their points by continuously meeting the conditions for obtaining points to participate in related activities.

③ Can I rely solely on holding or trading?
Yes, but it is less efficient. For example:
Only holding $100, earning 15 points over 15 days, which is far lower than 45 points.
Only trading $8 earns 3 points per day, totaling only 45 points over 15 days, which may not meet the standards later.
A combination strategy (holding + trading) is more efficient and secure.

④ How to reduce costs?
Choose trading pairs with low fees (SOL chain)
Buy Alpha tokens during periods of low price volatility to prevent the value of your holdings from decreasing.

Six: What is an airdrop?


An airdrop is an activity conducted by the Binance exchange or blockchain projects collaborating with Binance to distribute tokens or cryptocurrencies for free to eligible users who meet specific conditions, to promote new projects, new tokens, or increase user activity.

As a major global cryptocurrency exchange, Binance enhances user engagement and increases platform activity and influence through airdrop activities. For users, this is an opportunity to acquire cryptocurrencies without investment. Airdropped tokens are usually directly credited to users' Binance accounts.

Airdrop form:

· Token airdrop: Users can receive new tokens or platform tokens for free by participating in tasks on the Binance platform, such as social media interactions, completing KYC verification, participating in trading, etc.

· Event airdrop: Binance often collaborates with specific blockchain projects to host such airdrops, where users can receive tokens by completing simple steps.

· Holding coin airdrop: Users need to hold a specific cryptocurrency, such as BNB, BTC, ETH, etc., within a designated timeframe, and Binance will provide airdrop rewards based on the amount held or the duration of holding.

· Initial airdrop (IEO airdrop): New projects airdrop rewards to early participants when listing for the first time on Binance.

How to participate:

· Register an account: Complete registration on the Binance official website or app using a valid email address and strong password, and undergo identity verification (KYC) to unlock more airdrop opportunities.

· Find activities: Follow the Binance official website, in-app notifications, social media accounts, or visit platforms like Binance Launchpad, Binance Earn, etc., to get information on airdrop activities.

· Register to participate: After finding an airdrop activity of interest, complete relevant tasks as per the rules, such as following official social media, sharing specified content, trading a small amount, etc., and submit information for review.
