#Binance's official announcement states that the Alpha points consumption mechanism will be launched on May 13! Once this news broke, the crypto community became lively. As a small blogger who has been paying attention to the Binance ecosystem for a long time, today I will take you to see what tricks this rule upgrade hides and whether it is a benefit or a challenge for us ordinary players.

I. Why is Binance pushing for points consumption? To create a healthy ecosystem!

In the past, as long as you traded more and stored more coins, you could accumulate Alpha points to participate in airdrops. It's different now; to participate in new coin purchases (TGE) or receive airdrops, you not only need to meet the points standard but also consume points—just like shopping at a supermarket, where you have to pay and use membership points for discounts at checkout.

Binance's actions are actually aimed at refining the ecosystem. On one hand, it filters out speculators who just want to take advantage and leave, retaining real users who recognize the platform and are willing to participate long-term. On the other hand, everyone will trade BNB Chain ecosystem tokens more frequently to accumulate points, which can directly enhance the activity and value of BNB. Moreover, consuming points makes everyone more cautious in choosing projects, avoiding early airdrop tokens being sold off massively, which can lead to price crashes, thereby stabilizing the market.

II. What changes do the new rules bring? The opportunity for retail investors has arrived!

This upgrade seems to raise the threshold, but it actually hides many benefits:

Airdrops are fairer: Previously, large holders monopolized airdrops due to their financial advantage. Now, the points consumption mechanism gives everyone a chance. Even small retail investors can get a piece of the pie as long as they plan reasonably.

Points now have 'real value': Points are no longer just a string of numbers but a 'hard currency' that can be directly exchanged for airdrops. The process of consuming points actually makes them more precious.

Ecological vitality is maximized: With the BSC chain's double points activities, the more users trade, the more prosperous the BNB ecosystem becomes. This is not only good for the platform but also drives the development of the entire market.

III. Will Binance's reforms trigger a following in the industry?

As a leading platform in the industry, #Binance's reforms undoubtedly set an example for other exchanges. @Bybit, @OKX, and other platforms have gradually launched similar mechanisms, but Binance, with its mature ecosystem and large user base, always stays at the forefront of innovation.

For project parties, to get listed on Binance, you must follow the rules and cooperate with the platform to maintain trading volume and coin prices, which actually helps users filter quality projects. Moreover, Binance has always emphasized rule transparency and user experience. This new mechanism has also been explained in detail in advance to avoid misunderstandings caused by information gaps.

IV. How should retail investors navigate the new rules?

Here are 3 practical strategies!

Be meticulous and steady: Calculate the transaction fees and capital occupation costs for brushing points clearly, and don't blindly trade for airdrops. Choosing the right timing and making precise moves can yield returns at the lowest cost.

Hold on to the 'big leg' when selecting projects: Prioritize projects that are strongly tied to the BNB Chain ecosystem and have institutional endorsement. Binance has stricter reviews for such projects, and the returns are more guaranteed.

Keep up with the official updates and adjust flexibly: #Binance may launch more benefits in the future, such as BNB holding rewards and beginner support plans. Pay close attention to official news to seize the benefits at the first opportunity!

V. The 'duality' of the new rules: short-term adaptation, long-term benefits

It is undeniable that the new rules may make some users uncomfortable at first:

Newbies need an adjustment period: Accumulating points does require time and costs, but Binance is also exploring ways to lower barriers, such as possibly launching exclusive benefits for beginners in the future.

Trading becomes more strategic: Frequent brushing of points increases transaction fees, but with reasonable planning, you can leverage the points consumption mechanism to filter high-value projects and improve returns.

However, in the long run, the points consumption mechanism can make airdrops fairer and the market more stable, ultimately benefiting all users who participate earnestly.

VI. What 'little tricks' are hidden in Binance's operations?

#Binance cleverly leverages the public's anticipation of 'uncertainty.' Just like lottery tickets or blind boxes, the suspense is more exciting! Previously, airdrops were 'given away' for free, and over time, they inevitably became monotonous; now, consuming points for each participation makes users more willing to research projects and make cautious decisions.

This mechanism not only reduces the pressure on the platform regarding project revenue endorsement but also forces project parties to promote their projects sincerely and improve quality, ultimately forming a virtuous cycle benefiting users, platforms, and project parties.

VII. What can we expect in the future? Personally, I feel Binance might pull out big surprises later:

BNB holding benefits are enhanced: The more BNB you hold, the more generous the points rewards, and you can get discounts on redeeming airdrops!

Dynamic adjustment of consumption rules: Popular projects require more points to consume, while less popular projects lower the threshold so that everyone can participate.

Beginner-friendly plan: Providing 'entry tickets' to new users to lower the initial participation difficulty.

Overall, Binance's reform is paving the way for the long-term development of the ecosystem.
