As the Binance Alpha platform becomes more active, more users are starting to pay attention to new coin acquisition methods, mainly divided into two camps: airdrop participation and TGE new token offerings. This article will conduct an in-depth analysis of both methods in terms of definition mechanisms, participation thresholds, profit risks, and difficulty, helping users choose a more suitable participation strategy.

I. Basic Definitions and Participation Mechanisms

Airdrop camp (Airdrop)

Refers to the model where users complete designated trading tasks in the Binance Alpha zone and receive project tokens for free after meeting conditions. Users only need to trade using USDT/USDC/BNB in the Alpha zone, and the system will automatically record their Alpha points, allowing them to receive airdrop tokens once a specific score is reached.

  • No staking required $BNB

  • Only need to trade or hold to accumulate points

  • Once standards are met, the system automatically airdrops tokens to the Web3 wallet

TGE new token offering camp (Token Generation Event)

Users participate in token generation activities by staking BNB and other tokens. Each user can invest a maximum of 3 BNB, obtaining new tokens through lottery or proportional subscription methods.

  • Must hold and stake BNB

  • Participate on-chain through the Binance Web3 wallet, no second KYC required

  • Tokens will be distributed according to staking ratio or lottery results when the project goes live

II. Point Consumption Mechanism

Whether it’s an airdrop or TGE, each participation in activities deducts 15 Alpha points. For example:

  • REX Airdrop requires 196 points, deducting 15 points upon receipt

  • ELDE TGE requires 198 points, deducting 15 points upon participation

However, the profit paths of the two are different:

  • Airdrop: Directly obtain tokens, no other costs after point deduction

  • TGE: After point deduction, BNB must be invested, belonging to the new token investment model

III. Difficulty Comparison

Airdrop camp

Low threshold, suitable for beginners and small users:

  • The focus is on accumulating Alpha points through trading and holding

  • For example: holding 50 USD daily + daily trading volume of 512 USD can earn 10 points daily

  • No investment in BNB is required, and there is no mandatory requirement for substantial assets

TGE camp

High threshold, suitable for advanced users:

  • Must hold BNB and stake at specific times

  • Each address can stake a maximum of 3 BNB

  • Some activities require account assets exceeding 100 USD, KYC completion required

  • Higher requirements for operational timeliness and fund allocation

IV. Risk and Return Comparison

Airdrop camp

Advantages:

  • No capital investment required, almost 'zero cost'

  • Extremely low risk

  • Typical project returns:

    • NXPC: Approximately 500 USD per account

    • DOOD: Approximately 226 USD per account

Disadvantages:

  • Rewards are fixed and limited, points must be accumulated to secure a spot

  • Single returns typically range from dozens to hundreds of dollars

TGE camp

Advantages:

  • High risk, high reward

  • Typical project first-day trading return:

    • Some projects yield up to 30 times returns

    • Some users participated in 7 TGE events and earned a total of 2 BNB (approximately 1300 USD)

Disadvantages:

  • Coin prices may plummet or fall below issue price after listing

  • Actual staking of BNB is required, there is a principal risk

  • When the oversubscription rate is high, allocation dilution is severe (commonly above 300x)

V. Typical Cases

Airdrop camp case

  • NXPC Airdrop: Active trading in the Alpha zone, high-point users receive airdrops for free, with single account earnings reaching 500 USD

  • DOOD Airdrop: Airdrop valued at approximately 226 USD

TGE camp case

  • MYX TGE: Exclusive TGE event for the 15th period, requiring Alpha points ≥ 142

    • Maximum 3 BNB staking per person

    • Oversubscription multiples exceeding 100x

Derivative case: Launchpool

  • Stake BNB for project tokens, such as OMNI, SAGA, ETHFI

  • Daily rewards suitable for medium to long-term investors

VI. Summary and Suggestions

Suggestions:

  • Small users are prioritized in the airdrop camp, accumulating points through active trading to stabilize their coin holdings

  • Mid-high asset users can try TGE new token offerings, be cautious to diversify and control risks

At the same time, a mixed strategy can be adopted, flexibly switching according to market hotspots and personal resources to seize Alpha opportunities #币安Alpha上新
