This morning I flipped through the schedule, and Binance HODLer airdrop has been pushed to the 32nd issue, the project is Plume (PLUME). The rhythm for this issue is quite straightforward:
Qualification window: July 24, 08:00 – July 28, 07:59 (UTC+8)
Participation method: put BNB into capital protection earning (fixed/regular) or on-chain earning products to receive airdrop shares according to the rules;
Launch time: August 18, 23:00 (UTC+8) market opening;
Trading pairs: USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY will all open.
The information is just a few sentences, but it's enough for me to outline an executable 'ticket acquisition - observation - cashing out' process. Here is my personal approach, which you can copy.
① Qualification first: get the ticket first, then discuss judgment.
I don't gamble on project introductions, nor do I rely on 'hearsay'. The advantage of HODLers is that capital protection earning allows you to get a share:
Put the main position in fixed capital protection earning (for certainty and weight);
Put the flexible position in a regular or on-chain earning (easy to shift at any time).
Remember one thing: the qualification window is a hard threshold; once missed, it's gone. Occupy the position first, even if it's just a small amount.
Two tracks, different risks
Capital protection earning: principal safety, clear earnings, is the 'one you can sleep on';
On-chain earning: greater earning flexibility, but with additional risks from contracts/strategies.
My approach is **'70:30 ratio'**: 70% in capital protection earning, 30% for on-chain earning; the on-chain portion can be easily discarded, not letting it affect the overall situation.
My 'PLUME rhythm table' (can be directly copied to a memo)
T-4 ~ T-1 (Qualification Period):
BNB for capital protection/on-chain earning, keep 10–20% cash position;
Screenshot as evidence: purchase record, timestamp, product name.
T-0 (Opening day 8/18 23:00):
Set up OCO (take profit + stop loss) before opening;
In the first 15 minutes, just observe without chasing: look at market making depth, spread, and transaction density;
Decide again in the 30th to 60th minute: strong volume and pullback not breaking key levels → partially cash out; if it rises then falls → keep the 'ticket position', don't force it.
T+1 ~ T+3:
Pay attention to release/activity rhythm, and do batch actions when there is a secondary liquidity window;
Separate accounting for 'ticket positions' and 'trading positions'; do not mix them together.
The 'three hard signals' I am watching
Market making and spread: for two-level orders, use light positions; consider increasing positions only if the spread is stable and liquidity deepens.
Turnover structure: Are the new chips being quickly absorbed? If there is a large volume but the price remains unstable, it's a 'handover failure', don't force it.
Cross trading pair price difference: are the price differences between USDT/USDC/BNB/FDUSD/TRY abnormal; is there any 'arbitrage funding' running?
Beginner's ultra-simple checklist (pitfall avoidance version)
KYC and regional restrictions should be clear first;
During the qualification period, you must 'confirm on the page/purchase successfully', based on system records;
One account per person, do not share devices or batch tasks;
On listing day, avoid market orders; prioritize limit orders + batch orders;
Don't treat airdrops as an ATM: the first big bullish candle is not a glory; it often turns out to be a liquidity trap.
Why am I participating in this issue?
The logic of HODLers is simple: use existing BNB to exchange for 'early bird positions'. It doesn't guarantee profit, but it can bring 'certainty' to the table—
I know when to enter, what ticket to get, when I can trade, and who my counterparties are.
Opportunities that can be 'written into your calendar' often have a higher win rate over the long term than impulsive bets.
Ending: a straightforward remark
To grasp this PLUME issue, I rely on three steps: get the ticket first, monitor market making depth, and batch cash out.
Don't deify it, nor hesitate. Missing the window is zero; only having the ticket gives you the right to choose. The rest is up to the market and discipline.
