That day, I was really just scrolling my phone in bed and opened Binance Alpha.
Then, the wheels of fate began to turn.
📍01 | Starting Point: Meeting CAILA on Binance Alpha
Actually, I didn't understand what DePIN, on-chain identity, or AI Agent were at first.
I just check Binance Alpha every day to see if there are new opportunities. That became my daily habit after my 'cutting losses' experience, like a wounded soldier staring at the battlefield.
That day, Alpha's previous headline attracted me:
‘On-chain AI × DePIN foundational opportunity: CAILA’
‘No VC, no pre-mining, Fair Launch, binding to physical weather equipment’
I finished reading that article and sat in my chair dazed for a full 5 minutes.
Two words popped into my mind:
Buy early.
🎮02 | Action: 10U, like gambling with fate.
I searched through the official website, Twitter, and community, and asked a few tech-savvy friends.
Their answers were surprisingly consistent:
‘Don't ask, just try 10U, if it doesn't work, there's no loss.’
So I spent 10U to buy some $CA.
I didn't think too much, and was even a bit stubborn.
I told myself: ‘If I fail again, I’ll quit the circle; at least this is a project pushed by Binance Alpha, it shouldn’t be too bad.’
🌪️03 | Climax: After Binance Alpha launched, the whole internet went crazy.
On the fourth day after I got on board, the CAILA community suddenly exploded.
A bunch of KOLs started posting on X, the popularity on Binance Alpha skyrocketed, and the TG group was buzzing like during the New Year—every 5 minutes someone would post their earnings.
A guy said he earned over 3000 U and directly cashed out to buy a new graphics card.
And I turned 10U into 170U.
In that moment, my hands were truly shaking.
It wasn't because I made money, but because for the first time I had a feeling of 'I got the narrative right'.
📉04 | Low Point: Wear and tear, ambush, account ban, collapse.
but the higher the heat, the greater the competition.
The difficulty of CAILA's later tasks skyrocketed, and sometimes to maintain my score, I had to wake up at 3 AM to refresh the devices.
Once, after a platform update, my main account was mistakenly banned by the system, and my points were reset to zero.
All 20 accounts were wiped out.
I sat in front of the computer, staring blankly at a line of red text in the backend.
At that moment, I really wanted to quit—leave the group, exit the circle, quit everything.
‘If you can't afford to play, then cancel the activity,’ I cursed in the group and then quietly closed the browser.
🌈05 | Reversal: Some things, if you don't persist, you'll never know if they're worth it.
But the next day, I opened the backend again.
Not out of greed, but out of unwillingness.
I don't want to be that person who only observes and doesn't dare to engage when Binance Alpha launches a new project next time.
So I started over, re-registered my account, deployed devices, and took on tasks.
This time I carefully analyzed the rules, made spreadsheets, and even wrote my own automatic reminder tool.
Later, the price of CA doubled, and my balance exceeded a thousand.
That 10U eventually allowed me to earn 1000U.
🎤06 | Conclusion: If you are still hesitating, the next Alpha project might have nothing to do with you.
Many people ask me, is CAILA still worth doing now?
I don’t know.
I only knew that:
Those projects you ignored on Binance Alpha might just be the turning point of someone else's fate.
True opportunities don’t let you hesitate for three days after reading the white paper, but—
When you see it for the first time, there's an urge of 'can't miss it'.
CAILA made me understand:
An investment of 10U is not just a gamble of money,
But it is a joint validation of trend judgment, belief, and execution.
⸻
🚀 Alpha does not equal getting rich quickly, but it allows you to see the outline of the future.
Next time when I check Binance Alpha,
Don't just hit like.
Perhaps, it is your next opportunity of 'turning 10U into 1000U'.
