1. Main types and participation methods of Binance airdrops
1. Alpha Zone Airdrop
- Features: Transactions must be completed in the Alpha Zone of the Binance App within a specified time window, for example, the Alpha Egpt (EPT) airdrop requires users to complete a purchase of any token between April 11-17, 2025.
- Steps:
1. Complete real-name authentication (KYC);
2. Enter the 'Alpha' section of the Binance App;
3. Execute a buy transaction on the spot or fund account;
4. Airdrop tokens will be automatically credited to the Alpha account.
2. HODLer Airdrop
- Features: Designed specifically for users who hold BNB long-term, using a 'retroactive snapshot' mechanism to automatically distribute new project tokens. For example, airdrops like Berachain (BERA), Babylon (BABY) are distributed through this mechanism.
- Participation conditions:
- Deposit BNB into Binance 'Simple Earn' products (flexible or fixed-term);
- No active operation is required; the system randomly snapshots historical holding data to calculate rewards.
- Reward calculation: Airdrop tokens are distributed based on the user's BNB holdings proportionate to the entire network, with a hard cap of a maximum 4% reward share per user.
3. Megadrop Activity
- Features: A dual reward mechanism combining BNB staking and Web3 tasks, for example, the KernelDAO (KERNEL) airdrop requires users to lock BNB or complete on-chain tasks to earn points.
- Steps:
1. Choose the BNB locking period on the Megadrop page;
2. Or connect to the specified dApp in the Web3 wallet to complete tasks (such as interactions, staking, etc.).
4. Launchpool Staking Mining
- Features: Participate in new project mining by staking BNB, FDUSD, and other tokens, such as Bubblemaps (BMT), Particle Network (PARTI), etc.
- Operation: Select supported tokens for staking on the activity page, receive airdrop rewards proportionately.
5. Staking reward type airdrop
- Example: Earn PEPE airdrop by staking SOL to BNSOL, rewards are linked to the amount and duration of staking.
- Key point: Pay attention to announcements of staking activities for specific tokens, keep assets in the designated wallet.

2. Core strategies to enhance airdrop rewards
1. Hold BNB long-term and participate in financial products
- BNB is the core token of the Binance ecosystem, holding and depositing in 'Simple Earn' allows simultaneous participation in HODLer airdrop, Launchpool, and Megadrop, achieving 'one fish, four eats.'
- Recommendation: Choose flexible or fixed-term financial products to balance liquidity and returns.
2. Follow new products and early projects
- Regularly use platforms like Alpha Zone, Launchpool, etc., first-time traders or highly active users are often prioritized for rewards.
- Example: Airdrops in Alpha Zone are often linked to first purchase behavior.
3. Subscribe to notifications and community dynamics in a timely manner
- Enable push notifications on the Binance App and follow official social media (Twitter, Telegram) and the 'Airdrop Center.'
- Participating in community tasks (like trading competitions, Q&A events) may earn additional airdrop slots.
4. Compliance and account preparation
- Complete KYC verification and ensure that the account's location supports airdrop activities (some countries such as the USA, Japan, etc., are excluded).
- Use the latest version of the App to avoid operational obstacles.
5. Diversify participation in multiple types of activities
- Participate in both HODLer airdrop (passive income) and Megadrop/Launchpool (active tasks) to maximize coverage opportunities.
