Complete guide to earning points on Binance Alpha: High-efficiency point acquisition at low cost

Binance Alpha is a high-quality asset trading platform launched by Binance. By participating in Alpha activities, users can accumulate points to redeem airdrop rewards or participate in TGE (Token Generation Events). The points system provides users with opportunities to earn rewards, but how to efficiently and cost-effectively accumulate points has become a focus for many users. This article will detail the Binance Alpha points rules and share practical point accumulation techniques to help you maximize your returns.

1. Analysis of Binance Alpha points rules

Binance Alpha points are mainly composed of two parts: balance points and trading volume points. Here are the core rules:

Balance points:

Calculate based on the user's daily holdings snapshot, including assets in both the Binance Exchange account and the Web3 wallet (USDT or other assets are acceptable, not limited to Alpha tokens).

The higher the holding amount, the more points you earn. For example, holding 100 USDT can earn 1 point per day, while 1000 USDT can earn more (specific points increase in a tiered manner with the holding amount).

Trading volume points:

Points are calculated by purchasing tokens in the Alpha section, only counting the buying volume (selling is not counted).

Each 2 USDT of buy transactions can earn 1 point. For example, buying 2048 USDT of tokens in a single day can earn 1024 points (note the trading costs).

Supported chains include BNB Chain, Solana, Ethereum, Base, and Sonic. It is recommended to choose chains with lower Gas fees (such as Solana or BSC).

Point consumption mechanism:

Points can be exchanged for airdrop rewards, but each exchange will consume a certain number of points. For example, earning 16 points daily can accumulate 240 points in 15 days, allowing for 3 airdrop exchanges; earning 18 points daily can allow for 5 airdrop exchanges.

Airdrop claiming is not immediate; it is recommended to redeem when the token price rises to maximize returns.

Check points:

Open the Binance App, search for 'Alpha points' on the homepage, or find the Alpha points entry in 'More' → 'News' to check total points and details.

2. Techniques for efficiently earning points

To minimize Gas fees and slippage losses while accumulating points, here are some practical techniques:

1. Choose chains with low Gas fees

Recommended chains: Solana and BSC have lower Gas fees, with single transaction costs controllable at 0.0085-0.02 USDT, saving over 90% compared to Ethereum.

Operation path: Select BSC or Solana chain tokens for trading in the Alpha section of the Binance Web3 wallet to avoid high-cost chains.

2. Small frequent trades

Control each trade to 5-10 USDT, accumulate and hold part of the tokens for appreciation. Use limit orders to set low buys and high sells to reduce slippage losses.

Example: Daily trading of 2048 USDT (multiple small buy transactions), can earn 180 points in 15 days, suitable for users holding 100 USDT.

3. Optimize slippage settings

Manually adjust slippage to 0.1%-0.2% (0.1% for buying, 0.2% for selling) to improve trade success rates and reduce losses.

Choose tokens with high liquidity (such as KMNO, MYX) or USDC to reduce the impact of price fluctuations.

4. Multi-account strategy

Main account holding above 1000 USDT as base capital, with sub-accounts each preparing 100-105 USDT for trading.

It is recommended that the daily trading volume reach 2050 USDT (based on the latest dynamics, the competition for points is intensifying, and trading volume needs to be appropriately increased).

5. Contract hedging to reduce risks

While accumulating points, open short positions to hedge and lock in price fluctuation risks. For example, when accumulating MYX tokens, holding 10 MYX allows you to enjoy V8 ultra-low fees (Gas fees around 0.06 USDT).

This method can achieve nearly zero loss in point accumulation.

6. Delay claiming airdrops

Points are consumable. It is recommended to claim airdrops when the price of Alpha tokens rises to exchange for higher value tokens.

3. Low-cost point acquisition plan

The following is a low-cost point acquisition strategy designed for small capital users:

Plan A: Basic method (starting from 100 USDT)

Holding: 100 USDT (1 point per day, 15 points in 15 days).

Trading: Daily purchase of 8 USDT of Alpha tokens (4 points), totaling 60 points in 15 days.

Cost: Gas fees are about 0.06 USDT per transaction, totaling about 1-2 USDT over 15 days.

Plan B: Advanced method (starting from 1000 USDT)

Holding: 1000 USDT (higher points per day).

Trading: Daily purchase of 1024 USDT (512 points), totaling 180 points in 15 days.

Cost: Choose the Solana chain, control Gas fees at 2-3 USDT.

Tool assistance:

Use the community-created Alpha points calculator (search on YouTube or Binance community) to input target points and automatically generate a point acquisition plan.

4. Precautions

Control trading losses:

Avoid frequent sales of tokens on Binance Exchange; it is recommended to use OKX DEX or Jupiter on Solana to convert back to USDT, reducing slippage and fees.

Pay attention to token price trends and avoid trading during a stepwise decline.

Compliance:

Binance may monitor for abnormal trading behavior; avoid using scripts or batch operations to ensure account security.

Dynamic adjustment strategies:

The competition for points is becoming increasingly fierce. It is recommended to pay attention to Binance's official announcements and community dynamics, and adjust the daily trading volume in a timely manner (currently recommended to be above 2050 USDT).

Risk management:

Points earned are linked to the value of airdrops, requiring market evaluation. Avoid blindly pursuing high points while ignoring costs.

5. Summary

The Binance Alpha points system provides users with low-threshold opportunities to earn money, but efficiently accumulating points requires mastering techniques and strategies. By choosing low Gas chains, small frequent trades, optimizing slippage, and hedging risks, users can accumulate considerable points while controlling costs. Small capital users can start with 100 USDT using basic methods; eligible users can use multiple accounts and advanced strategies to achieve higher points.
