A Comprehensive Analysis of the C2C Compensation Mechanisms of Three Exchanges!!!
The biggest risk point of C2C trading is the potential for judicial freezing. Currently, major platforms are upgrading their 'compensation mechanisms' to gain user trust.
① Binance C2C [Strict Selection Zone] @binancezh
Binance has established a dedicated [Strict Selection Zone], where only shielded advertisers and bulk advertisers can join. If users encounter judicial freezing while trading here, they can receive 50% of the order amount as compensation, with a cap of 20,000 U, shared equally by the advertiser and the platform.
The advantage is that as long as you recognize the 'Strict Selection' label, you will know the compensation standard without needing to study complex terms. Currently, there are also activity rewards for the C2C Strict Selection Zone.
Summary: 50% compensation, 20,000 U cap, with the platform and merchant interests aligned!
② OKX @okxchinese
OKX’s compensation mechanism seems to handle cases in layers:
Ordinary certified merchants: 20% compensation (small orders <500U fully compensated), with a single transaction cap of 2000 U;
Bulk merchants: 100% compensation, with a single transaction cap of up to 30,000 U.
The benefit of this approach is that it caters to merchants and users of different sizes, ensuring that bulk transactions are more secure, and small users are not neglected.
Summary: 20% / 100% compensation mechanism, small user-friendly, bulk coverage, with the highest flexibility.
③ Huobi @HuobiGlobal
Huobi’s compensation mechanism is easy to understand; as long as it is a judicially frozen order and meets the conditions, 100% full compensation is available, with a cap of 10,000 U, equally shared by the advertiser and the platform.
However, there are quite a few requirements: you must trade only on Huobi for nearly 90 days and only generate orders with that advertiser; multiple evidence conditions must also be met.
Summary: 100% full compensation, the most eye-catching, but with many conditions and a low cap.
An overview of the differences in the C2C compensation mechanisms of Binance / OKX / Huobi on one chart:
WA is becoming one of the most promising tracks for development, but the problem is: traditional DeFi is not suitable for directly carrying RWA, with difficulties in on-chain integration, heavy compliance, and fragmented liquidity.
Plume Network is addressing the core pain points of the RWA market, which has long faced inefficiency, high costs, and insufficient liquidity, through its innovative technological architecture and ecosystem design. Plume is a full-stack permissionless chain specifically designed for RWA finance (RWAfi). It integrates core functions such as tokenization engine, data uploading, yield distribution, and account abstraction into the underlying layer, allowing real-world assets to circulate as efficiently as native crypto assets. The four core products are: Arc: tokenization engine that completes asset onboarding within 72 hours (traditional processes take months). Nexus: data highway that ensures real-world data is authentic and traceable. Nest: on-chain yield distribution protocol. Passport: account abstraction wallet that lowers user participation barriers. This suite of products transforms RWA into composable and liquid crypto-native assets. When looking at investment and collaboration lineups, it is also impressive, with traditional finance and crypto giants like Apollo, Blackstone, UBS, Circle, Galaxy Digital, Haun Ventures, and others already establishing partnerships!
In fact, I analyzed $PLUME when writing about RWA earlier, as it is a dark horse in the RWA track, and its listing on Binance spot was expected. This time, Binance HOLder directly airdropped 1.5% of the total supply of $PLUME, which is equivalent to picking up money for $BNB holders.

I took a look at the content posted two months ago, and it seems everything has a trace!
Camp can be said to occupy both ① and ②.
Especially ①, there are very few qualified manual efforts, which just proves that manual efforts cannot compete with verbal ones.
As for verbal efforts, there is still a certain threshold, and this threshold blocks most people, almost forming a vicious cycle!!
If one really wants to make manual efforts, it would be better to participate in activities from exchanges like Alpha or OKX TGE express train, or to engage in projects that do not meet the criteria of ① and ② in the image!!
Last weekend, a friend asked me if I had time to attend the offline Binance Alpha communication meeting. At that time, I was out with my family, so I declined. Just last night, I remembered this matter while chatting.
He mentioned that the studios present were basically all above a few hundred households, and only 1%-2% of the larger accounts have survived to this day. Everyone understands now: In the eyes of outsiders, airdrops = instant wealth, but in the end, only a very small number of teams that can optimize scale, efficiency, and risk control can make money.
The core asset of a studio is not capital, but controllable, decentralized, low-cost people (accounts and operators). Whether it’s concentrated account boosting, crowdsourcing models, student part-time jobs, or referral rewards, the essence is to scale at the lowest cost.
Although the profit from a single airdrop is already very thin at the moment. Profitability depends on scale and efficiency. This is more like a laborious task rather than a financial investment. This is also the reason why many people cannot tolerate leaving their jobs. However, it is not uncommon for refined operations to yield annualized returns of over 100%, 200%, or even higher.
The core capability that allows studios to persist until now can be summed up in two words: Extreme.
From account registration, daily score boosting, score monitoring, to grabbing airdrops and selling, every step has been broken down, and execution is ensured through graphic tutorials, chain check-ins, screen recording validations, and other methods. Using Excel spreadsheets to meticulously manage the scores of hundreds or thousands of accounts, calculating the optimal time for receiving.
As for KYC: Most studios adopt a guarantor system, which requires a guarantor or a written commitment. Moreover, each account is limited to 1000 USDT!
The equipment issues are the same as what I mentioned before: one device, one account, one IP; these are lessons learned!
What I care about the most is the anxiety of the studio owners!
Short-term cash flow vs long-term dreams: They are clear that Alpha cannot earn rich money; the real big opportunities lie in the primary market and early projects, but now they have to rely on this profit to sustain the team.
Building infrastructure vs missing opportunities: They know that long-term value lies in stock and trust, but going all-in here is feared to miss out on even greater opportunities, so they can only take one step at a time!
My friend told me the most memorable sentence: Binance Alpha is more like assembly line work; those who can stay are definitely not gamblers, but those who can excel in laborious tasks!!!!
Right now, my view on the Binance Wallet activity is that none can be missed; last time's $TREE activity left me with a broken leg for not participating.
Currently, there are two options:
① Deposit $BNB with an annualized rate of 25.45%
② Deposit USDT with an annualized rate of 18.97%
Previously, accounts that did Alpha with multiple numbers can now act as low-income accounts. Low-income accounts require a deposit of 0.03 BNB or 25 USDT to share in 200,000 USDT of $MITO.
Additionally, there is the $BNB prize pool and USDT prize pool.
The minimum requirement for the $BNB prize pool is to deposit 0.03 BNB, sharing in 400,000 USDT of $MITO. The more $BNB you deposit, the more rewards you will receive! The same goes for the USDT prize pool!
The final round of voting for Boundless has begun, and it's the last opportunity to secure your rank. It's currently almost confirmed that the public sale will start at the end of August and go live in September!
The deadline for the final round of voting is tomorrow at noon 12 PM, and you can pretty much determine your rank now; just wait for the public sale and TGE!
Last night, Raspberry also started the public voting in the DC Chinese community:
It seems that most people hope to participate directly in the public sale on the official website!!
The same track $PROVE has already shown good performance, looking forward to Raspberry's performance!
Oh, by the way, Boundless is currently the first open and completely decentralized zero-knowledge proof market.
A few days ago, I saw news about $SBET and $BMNR, two companies that are moving ETH onto their company balance sheets, similar to MicroStrategy. Isn't this just the "MicroStrategy" version of the Ethereum hoarding plan?
Let me briefly share my thoughts:
MicroStrategy back in the day was both focusing on its main business and leveraging to buy BTC, and as the coin price increased, the company's valuation soared. $SBET and $BMNR have just switched to ETH; the risk is high volatility, and it could drop harder, but the benefits are obvious — if an ETH bull market comes, the valuation might be directly lifted by the coin price.
I tend to be optimistic, after all, the narrative and implementation of ETH are progressing (L2, RWA, on-chain activity), and the long-term value has a foundation.
If you're interested in these MicroStrategy concept stocks, you can trade them at MyStonks @MyStonksCN. Yesterday, they launched a public test of contracts, which includes perpetual contracts for $SBET and $BMNR. The leverage goes up to 20X, and you can freely adjust between 1-20 times leverage. The order fee for perpetual contract trading is 0.02%, and the taker fee is 0.045%.
A perpetual contract, simply put, is a leveraged contract without an expiration date; you can hold it as long as the funding rate and margin can sustain. It's suitable for trend trading, swing trading, and even short-term T+0.
I set up a little challenge! Using 300U to open a long position on $BMNR at MyStonks, let's see how many days it can last.
Since the last time I posted about the fourfold trading volume bonus on the Alpha BSC chain, I have been testing it myself!
Let me use my testing results as an example:
I tested with $KOGE, mainly because the pool is large, of course, you can choose other coins, but I won't make recommendations here!!!
When I bought it, I directly used the suggested price; for specific operations, please watch the video!! I got a bit confused in the middle, which delayed some time!!
In actual testing, I bought at 2029.15U and sold at 2028.93U, with very low intermediate losses!!!
My suggestion is still to trade with small amounts, even if you trade a few more times, large amounts are still prone to slippage!!!
The $VRA that was scheduled to go live on Alpha at 3 PM today is now live!!
Threshold: 200 points, first come first served, airdrop of 32,238 VRA tokens available. Based on OKX's price, that's about $40 in profit, the current price of $VRA is 0.00118.
By the way, $VRA has already been launched on Gate, Bybit, and OKX, so the profits are very transparent!
In addition, a $VRA trading competition has been launched, with a total reward of 960,000,000 VRA.
Delays with Alpha are not particularly common, so I went to check the project's relevant information!
@verasitytech is one of the representative projects in the Web3 + AI track, based on its solid AI technology solutions, it is always committed to providing effective, efficient, and consistently reliable advertising fraud solutions. In simple terms, it's about combating online advertising fraud!
$VRA is the native token of the Verasity project. VeraEsports (a product under Verasity) has launched a Watch to Earn model, allowing Verasity users to earn $VRA tokens while watching videos, so users can earn $VRA tokens while enjoying video content they are interested in. Additionally, users can stake $VRA tokens in the VeraWallet to earn passive income.
Verasity is one of the few projects that combines AI, Web3, and advertising concepts. Both the AI and advertising tracks have considerable potential, but the current market cap of $VRA is only over 10 million. From the perspective of business collaboration, it shouldn't be at the current market cap!
Is there a legendary king who can come out and let me learn? I don't have high expectations, just reaching the entry-level bronze standard will be fine!!

Today I want to talk to everyone about a rather interesting project - the USD1+ OTF launched by Lorenzo Protocol @LorenzoProtocol. As an on-chain fund product, it indeed brings some different ways to play.
First, let's talk about what OTF is. OTF stands for On-chain Traded Fund, which is an on-chain fund model proposed by Lorenzo Protocol. This USD1+ OTF is their first income product settled in USD1. USD1 is a stablecoin they launched, and in the future, all U-denominated financial products will operate under this system.
The core value of this product lies in its integration of three types of income sources:
First, RWA income is realized through tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds. This part mainly utilizes the stable income sources of traditional financial markets to provide basic income protection for the product.
Second, quantitative trading income is obtained through neutral strategies on centralized platforms. Such strategies typically have lower risks and can bring relatively stable returns.
Finally, DeFi income includes earnings generated from liquidity mining and lending protocols. This part is considered a bonus, making the overall yield more attractive.
The form of return is the sUSD1+ Token, which is a non-rebasing token directly pegged to the value of USD1. Simply put, 1 sUSD1+ is always equal to 1 USD1, but it will continuously accumulate earnings during the holding period. Upon redemption, it can be exchanged 1:1 for USD1, making it quite convenient to use.
In terms of yield, the annualized rate is about 30%. This figure is quite good in the current market environment, especially considering that it integrates multiple sources of income, with relatively dispersed risks.
Personally, I think there are several highlights of this project worth paying attention to:
① It is the first product settled in USD1, which may become a core component of the future USD1 ecosystem. ② The diversification of income sources means it does not solely rely on any one strategy, enhancing its risk resistance. ③ It operates completely on-chain, with good transparency and composability. sUSD1+ can be used as collateral in other DeFi protocols.
Isn't it a brother? You hold 80,000 big cakes by yourself?
Looking at the news, there are still three wallet addresses with ten thousand coins each that haven't been activated. If this is used to dump, wouldn't it create a hole?
It's all the same person, each address has ten thousand $BTC, totaling 80,009 big cakes!
Calculating the account, 80,000 big cakes = 8.6 billion USD = over 60 billion RMB!
