Low Wear Method
Concept :
A strategy that minimizes trading costs (such as fees, slippage) during the process of scoring Alpha points through a series of operations.Principle :
The core is cost control. Choose Alpha tokens that have lower transaction fees.
Utilize the point bonus or low Gas fee characteristics of specific chains (e.g., BSC).
Avoid significant price deviation by precisely setting low slippage (e.g., 0.1%).
And conduct small transactions to reduce the market price impact of individual trades, thereby minimizing adverse changes in average transaction prices.
Implementation Path:
Prioritize Alpha tokens with low fees (e.g., ZKJ).
Trade on the BSC chain to enjoy double points.
Set slippage precisely to 0.1%.
Control the price of individual transactions to avoid being too high.
Advantages:
Extremely Low Costs: Significantly reduces both fixed and variable costs per transaction.
Strong Sustainability: Due to low wear and tear, it allows for longer or more frequent scoring with limited capital.
Low Capital Threshold: Suitable for users with limited funds who wish to operate in a sustainable manner.
Risks:
Relatively Low Efficiency: Small single transaction volumes may require more trades to achieve target points.
High Time Cost: Requires more frequent operations or monitoring.
Market Volatility Risk Remains: Even with good slippage control, the inherent price volatility of the token may still lead to losses.
Wallet Buy/Sell Method
Concept :
Utilize Binance's non-custodial wallet to trade Alpha tokens via DEX aggregators (such as 1inch) to achieve better trading costs than on exchanges.Principle :
Web3 wallets interact directly with the blockchain, and through DEX aggregators, they can automatically find the best quotes from multiple liquidity pools, theoretically reducing trading slippage and fees. Binance Wallet's non-custodial mode (MPC wallet) lowers the barrier for users to use Web3 wallets. Trading on the BSC chain can further reduce Gas fees and potentially earn point bonuses.Implementation Path:
Create a Binance wallet.
Trade on the BSC chain using the 1inch path, setting slippage to 0.1%.
Purchase on Binance Web3 wallet (optional: sell on other platforms, beginners please ignore).
Advantages:
Potential Cost Optimization: Aggregators may find better exchange paths, and slippage and fees may be lower than certain trading pairs on CEX.
Operational Convenience: Binance Web3 wallet is highly integrated with the Binance ecosystem, and the non-custodial mode is friendly for newcomers.
Efficiency Improvement: For users familiar with DEX operations, it may be faster than operating through CEX interfaces.
Risks:
Gas Fee Volatility: Gas fees on blockchain networks are unstable and can be very high during peak periods.
Cognitive Threshold: Compared to CEX, operating Web3 wallets and DEXs has a certain learning cost for newcomers.
Limit Buy/Sell Method
Concept :
Utilize the limit order function provided by the trading platform, presetting expected buy or sell prices to trade, aiming to execute at favorable prices, thus optimizing costs and gaining points.Principle :
Users do not execute immediately at the current market price, but instead set a specific price.
Buy orders only execute when the market price reaches or falls below the limit price.
Sell orders only execute when the market price reaches or exceeds the limit price.
Platforms may provide additional incentives (such as double points) for users utilizing limit orders.
By choosing 'Price Priority' or 'Success Rate Priority', you can adjust the order behavior in the matching engine.
Implementation Path:
Set limit orders.
Select 'Price Priority' or 'Success Rate Priority' mode based on demand.
Use limit orders to enjoy double points benefits.
Can combine with market fluctuations to buy low and sell high, reducing net losses.
Advantages:
Price Control: Able to execute at expected or better prices, avoiding high buys and low sells.
Potential Additional Income: Combining market judgments, buying low and selling high can not only score points but also potentially earn profits.
Cost Advantage: Binance Alpha has reduced the transaction fee for limit order trading of certain tokens from 0.15% to 0.01%.
Points Incentive: By buying any Alpha token via a limit order, you can receive double Alpha points.
Risks:
Order Non-execution Risk: If the market price does not reach the set limit price, orders may remain unexecuted for long periods, missing trading opportunities or points acquisition.
Time Cost: Waiting for execution may take a long time, with capital being tied up.
Rapid Market Reversal Risk: After setting a buy order, if the price continues to drop, or after setting a sell order, if the price continues to rise, it may lead to missed opportunities or better price points.
Dual Token Swapping Method
Concept :
Directly swap between two different Alpha activity tokens instead of first selling token A into a stablecoin and then buying token B, thus reducing trading steps and potential trading wear.Principle :
Directly convert token A to token B through the wallet or DEX’s Swap function. Theoretically, if both buying and selling actions in a single Swap operation are counted as trading volume (although customer service feedback indicates they are not counted, some practitioners claim otherwise), it can achieve 'one operation, two volume boosts'.Implementation Path:
Choose two relatively stable, liquid Alpha tokens (e.g., ZKJ, B2).
Directly swap tokens in the wallet.
Set reasonable slippage (0.1-0.5%) to control losses.
Advantages:
Simplified Process: Reduces trading steps, making operations more convenient.
Potentially Lower Fees: If avoided the two exchanges with the stablecoin, theoretically can save one transaction fee and slippage.
(Theoretically) Efficient Volume Boosting: If both ends of the swap are counted as trading volume (although official customer service has denied this point), it is beneficial for volume boosting.
Risks:
Trading Volume Calculation Does Not Meet Expectations: The biggest risk is that customer service has pointed out that this method does not count (or only counts one side) trading volume, leading to the core advantages being invalid.
Dual Price Fluctuation Risk: Simultaneous exposure to price fluctuation risks of two unstable tokens. If the price trends of the two tokens are opposite or both decline, the losses may be greater than single-token operations.
Liquidity Risk: Direct exchanges between certain small tokens (e.g., ZKJ/B2) may have far less liquidity than their respective trading pairs with USDT or BNB, leading to greater slippage.
Pinning Bottom Fishing Method
Concept :
A speculative trading strategy that quickly buys when the target Alpha token price sharply drops due to market sentiment or short-term events (forming a 'pin' pattern on the chart), hoping to sell after a rebound in price to earn the price difference while also gaining trading points.Principle :
Utilizes irrational market fluctuations or extreme prices caused by sudden liquidity exhaustion. When the price drops rapidly and hits a support or psychological price level, it often attracts buying interest, leading to a quick price recovery. By setting price alerts and reacting quickly, one can seize the opportunity for this V-shaped reversal.Implementation Path:
Set price alerts, monitor the price trends of target tokens.
Quickly buy when the price drops sharply.
Sell after the price rebounds, while gaining points and potential profits.
Suitable for Alpha tokens with high market volatility but long-term potential.
Advantages:
Potential High Returns: If successfully bottomed out and sold during the rebound, significant price difference profits can be made.
Points and Profits Both: The transaction itself generates points.
Risks:
'Catching the Falling Knife' Risk: The so-called 'pin' may be the beginning of a continued decline, and bottoming may occur halfway up the slope, leading to larger losses.
High Timeliness Requirement: Pinning conditions are fleeting, requiring extremely fast response times and execution capabilities, making manual operations challenging.
Slippage Risk: In cases of severe price fluctuations, the slippage of market orders may be substantial, eroding potential profits.
Emotional Trading: Easy to make irrational decisions due to rapid price changes.
Competition Scoring Method
Concept :
Combine scoring Alpha points behavior with Binance Alpha competitions or airdrop activities hosted by other third-party platforms, achieving multiple activity goals through a single transaction, realizing the effect of 'one fish, multiple meals'.Principle :
Choose tokens that are both Alpha tokens and also targets for Alpha competitions or other third-party reward activities for trading. This way, the generated trading volume can not only accumulate Alpha points, but also count towards competition rankings, competing for competition prizes or other rewards.Implementation Path:
Identify tokens with multiple rewards, combining activities outside of Binance ('one fish, multiple meals').
Advantages :
Diverse Income: Besides Alpha points, there are also opportunities to earn competition prizes, additional airdrops, or other forms of rewards.
Increased Capital Efficiency: With the same trading costs and risks, seek more returns.
Risks:
Over-trading Risk: In order to achieve a good ranking in the competition, there may be excessive trading beyond the original plan, increasing the risk of losses.
High Competition Threshold: The number of participants in the competition is large, making it very competitive, and ordinary users may find it difficult to obtain rewards.
Complex Activity Rules: Need to carefully study the rules of each activity, to avoid missing rewards due to non-compliance.
Inducing High-Risk Behavior: Some competition tokens are small tokens with high volatility or low liquidity.
MEV Bundled Trading Method
Concept :
An advanced scoring strategy utilizing the miner extractable value (MEV) mechanism of blockchain. By bundling the transactions of buying and selling Alpha tokens into an atomic operation (transaction package) and submitting it directly to the validating node, it ensures that both transactions are executed in the predetermined order, thus completing a buy-sell cycle in a very short time while attempting to lock in minimized losses (some tests show around 0.2%).Principle:
Transaction Construction: Initiate a transaction to buy Alpha tokens using a Binance non-custodial wallet (turning off the built-in MEV protection feature to control the MEV strategy).
Tracking and Reverse Operations: Almost simultaneously, construct a transaction to sell the same Alpha token using another wallet.
Transaction Bundling: Package these two transactions into a 'bundle'. This bundle is designed to be atomic, meaning either all succeed or all fail, with the transaction order fixed within the bundle.
MEV Channel Submission: Send this bundle directly to the block producer (validating node) through a specialized MEV relay service. Generally requires paying a certain 'bribe' or priority fee to the validating node to incentivize them to package your bundle into the block as expected.
Deterministic Execution: If the validating node accepts the bribe and packages the bundle, the buy and sell transactions will be executed closely together, theoretically controlling slippage, and even allowing for arbitrage on small price differences, with the primary goal of efficiently increasing transaction volume.
Precondition:
Understand basic smart contract development.
Able to access MEV services on the BSC chain.
Implementation Path:
Initiate Alpha token purchase transactions using Binance's non-custodial wallet (turn off MEV protection).
Track sell orders simultaneously using another private key wallet.
Bundle the buy and sell transactions into a transaction package and send it to the validating node.
Advantages :
Extremely High Volume Efficiency: Can complete a large number of buy-sell cycles in a very short time, quickly accumulating trading volume.
Potential for Deterministic Profit/Minimized Loss: If the strategy is well-designed, it can lock in small profits or strictly control losses for each cycle while boosting volume.
Automation Potential: Suitable for large-scale, high-frequency operations via scripts or bots.
Risk:
High Technical Barrier: Requires deep blockchain knowledge, smart contract programming skills, understanding of the MEV ecosystem, and related infrastructure.
High Development and Maintenance Costs: Building and running MEV bots require significant time and resources.
Execution Uncertainty: The bundle may not be accepted by the validating node, or may be subject to sandwich attacks or front running by other MEV bots, leading to strategy failures or even losses.
Gas Fees and Bribery Costs: The priority fees (bribes) paid to validating nodes can erode profits, with higher costs during high Gas fee periods.
Centralization Risk: Reliance on specific MEV relay services or validating node pools.
Platform Policy Risk: Although operating within on-chain rules, exchanges or project parties may not encourage behavior seen as 'abuse' or 'speculation' and may take countermeasures.
Capital Security Risk: Complex interactions of smart contracts and private key management introduce additional security risks.
