Currently, one Bitcoin is approximately equal to 1.02 kilograms of gold, so if you had to choose between one Bitcoin and one kilogram of gold, which would you choose?
The threshold for airdrop points from #BinanceAlpha can actually be inferred from the required trading volume. Taking the latest airdrop of $REX as an example, the threshold is 196 points, which means an average of about 14 points per day over the past 15 days. If you are just grinding for points, the trading volume needed to achieve 14 points daily is approximately 16,500 U (in reality it is 16,384 U but a little more is needed).
However, if you have some holdings, holding over 1,000 U can at least contribute more than 1 point to you, so achieving an effective trading volume of 8,192 U daily is sufficient. If you have holdings over 10,000 U, then achieving an effective trading volume of about 4,096 U daily is enough. In fact, with the Alpha points deduction mechanism in place, the threshold for new players to join has been lowered, and in recent rounds, it has generally been below 200 points.
The power of traditional market buying is starting to show. The historical high of $BTC was just a few months ago at 109588, now it is 106000+ and breaking the previous high is just around the corner #山寨季何时到来? #
Behind Binance Alpha: New Growth Strategy in the New Round of Attention, Liquidity, and User Traffic Wars
In fact, during the previous rounds of competition, Binance's layout has been somewhat slow, for example, during the inscription period, OKX Wallet seized the opportunity early (Binance Wallet only entered the inscription market in April 2024, and within a few months the inscription market cooled down). In the last Meme season and AI season, the Solana ecosystem was evidently at the core of liquidity and volatility, especially as markets like PumpFun continued to become massive pumps, while BNB Chain, backed by the giant Binance, remained lukewarm, lacking standout coins and vibrant trading markets.
On the other hand, the rise of on-chain derivatives markets is also impacting Binance, including the emergence of platforms like HyperliquidX, which is attracting a wave of users and funds to the chain. Therefore, under the pressure from multiple fronts, Binance is actually feeling quite a pinch. Thus, the launch of Binance Alpha in December last year clearly indicates its intention:
Alpha activity airdrop, TGE event score threshold, and yield statistics
We have compiled all airdrops, TGE events, and score thresholds from the 25th of last month to the present, as well as the approximate yield levels (currently if I run the basic opening, my yield is about between 30U and 100U, so the increasing threshold really does not guarantee profit (currently I am brushing around 4100 U daily, with a loss around 2U).#Binance
KAZOO (AITO) 4.25
KAZOO (AITO) is the 12th TGE event of Binance Wallet. In the previous 11 phases, users could directly stake BNB on PancakeSwap without threshold and participate in airdrops during TGE. But KAZOO is the first TGE event to set a point threshold after the introduction of the point system. This TGE requires users to have Alpha points of 45 or above to qualify, with an estimated yield of about 60U.
Surpassing Arbitrum and Optimism, why Cartesi's Dave can become the optimal fraud proof solution
"Cartesi's Dave Fraud-Proof algorithm further optimizes the fraud proof mechanism, achieving the best balance between security, decentralization, and activity." Recently, @donnoh_eth, a researcher from the authoritative research organization L2 Beats in the Rollup field, stated in a tweet that Cartesi's Dave is currently the most advanced fraud proof system, surpassing Arbitrum's BoLD and Optimism's OPFP, and expressed hope that the Optimism and Orbit Stack ecosystems could integrate this groundbreaking solution. The recognition from @donnoh_eth indicates that the technical advantages of the Dave scheme in the fraud proof field have gained widespread attention in the industry.
Binance's First Shot in the New Cycle: From Alpha to CEX, Why I Bet on SIREN
Author of this article: Yuanshan Insight @Yuanshan0626 Original post: https://x.com/Yuanshan0626/status/1903450912049508413 If you are also looking for the next seed player emerging from Binance Alpha, then this time, cast your vote for $SIREN, for a story that can be told further. This round of #Binance voting for new listings marks the return of the top tier from a closed listing mechanism to a stage of 'consensus selection'. It’s called 'community co-governance', but in reality, it resembles a test of resource allocation rights. We can understand it as a return of the old mechanism or as the first selection of a new cycle.
MelosBoom: The Data Economic Revolution Driven by Agents
In the wave of the data sovereignty revolution, MelosBoom is breaking traditional boundaries at an astonishing pace. In 2025, with the rise of general-purpose AI Agent application layers like Manus, MelosBoom's 'data life network' welcomes a new evolutionary direction—from static data storage to dynamic intelligent decision-making, a data economic revolution driven by agents is reshaping the global digital ecosystem.
The chemical reaction between agents and data networks
The core capability of the AI Agent application layer lies in breaking down complex tasks into executable atomic operations, which naturally complements the computational scheduling of MelosBoom's distributed nodes. By integrating the agent protocol layer, MelosBoom's data life network achieves a qualitative transformation from 'data oilfields' to 'data refineries'. The closed loop of 'data-decision-value' allows MelosBoom's node network to evolve a self-directed nervous system, where each data unit becomes a digital life form with agency.
Bybit hack aftermath: How a $1.5 billion security breach affected Ethereum’s reputation
“Recently, Cartesi co-founder Erick de Moura was invited to be a guest on BeInCrypto to have an in-depth discussion with a group of guests on the Bybit hack and shared his insights as an industry observer.” Original article: https://beincrypto.com/bybit-hack-experts-debate-ethereum-security/ Key points of this interview The Bybit security incident is different from traditional exchange vulnerabilities. It exposes the vulnerability of third-party transaction signing tools, proving that even if the exchange’s own security measures are perfect, the compromise of integrated components will still lead to systemic risks.
Although the acquisition of a large amount of Ethereum assets by the North Korean hacker group "Lazarus" did not directly affect the blockchain consensus mechanism, it raised concerns about market manipulation and the risk of Layer2 protocol attacks.
The official launch of the Chainbase AVS mainnet is deeply interlinking the different layers of Chainbase, bringing verification and processing capabilities to the Chainbase data network and marking a new opportunity for the comprehensive launch of the data ecosystem.
On December 4th, the chain-native Web3 AI data network Chainbase officially launched the Chainbase AVS mainnet, simultaneously releasing the first batch of 20 AVS node operator lists. Chainbase AVS is the first application-oriented mainnet AVS in EigenLayer AVS, adopting a four-layer network architecture, where Chainbase AVS in the execution layer integrates with EigenLayer to ensure scalability and security of data processing.
Can fake miners sell thousands of units in a day? Just how popular is the DePIN project Roam?
'The fake miner incident reflects the global influence of the Roam ecosystem and its popularity.'
Recently, the development of the DeWi track project Roam ecosystem has been constantly hitting high points, with the number of self-built nodes recently exceeding 980,000, making it the DePIN project with the largest node scale. At the same time, one month after the launch of its eSIM product, the ecosystem users have experienced explosive growth, with the user base growing from 750,000 to over a million. As Roam's popularity continues to ferment, 'fake miners' claiming to be associated with Roam have also appeared in the market.
