Binance Alpha Points Guide

Binance Alpha Points is the key scoring system for getting airdrops and new tokens in the Binance ecosystem. This guide explains the calculation mechanism and accumulation strategies.

What are Alpha Points?

Alpha Points is Binance's system to measure user activity, mainly used for:

• Airdrop Eligibility: Determines if you qualify for new token airdrops
• TGE Participation: Early access to Token Generation Events
• Priority: Higher points = higher priority in claiming

Calculation Mechanism

15-Day Rolling Window

Alpha Points uses a 15-day rolling window:

Total Points = Sum of daily (Balance Points + Volume Points + Task Points) over past 15 days

Key Implications:

• Points earned today expire after 15 days
• Need consistent activity, not one-time actions
• Consistency beats single large transactions

Balance Points

Calculated based on asset value in your Binance accounts:

Volume Points

Based on trading volume, using logarithmic calculation:

Formula:

Volume Points = log₂(Volume)

Task Points

Earned by completing Binance tasks:

• Participating in specific events
• Using Web3 wallet features
• Purchasing specific tokens
• Completing KYC verification

Current Airdrop Thresholds

Early 2026 reference thresholds:

Airdrop Claim Mechanism

Since June 2025, airdrops use two-phase distribution:

Phase 1: High Threshold Priority

• Users with points ≥ X (high threshold) can claim first
• Usually lasts minutes to hours
• First-come, first-served

Phase 2: Declining Threshold

• Threshold drops periodically (e.g., 5 points every 5 minutes)
• Users with points ≥ Y (lower threshold) can participate
• Until airdrop is depleted

Accumulation Strategies

Basic Strategy (For Beginners)

Target: 5-8 points/day, 75-120 points over 15 days

1. Keep balance > $1,000 (2 points/day)
2. Small daily trades (2-4 points)
3. Complete simple tasks (1-2 points)

Advanced Strategy

Target: 10-15 points/day, 150-225 points over 15 days

1. Keep balance > $10,000 (3 points/day)
2. Trade $100-$500 daily (5-9 points)
3. Actively complete tasks (2-3 points)

Power Strategy

Target: 15-20 points/day, 225-300 points over 15 days

1. Keep balance > $100,000 (4 points/day)
2. Higher daily trading volume (8-12 points)
3. Complete all available tasks (3-4 points)

Important Notes

Account Rules

• Only main accounts are eligible for Alpha Points
• Sub-account balances merge into main account calculation
• Prohibited: Using multiple independent accounts to farm points

Common Mistakes

1. Points Reset: Withdrawing all balance causes volume points to zero
2. Inconsistency: One large trade, then nothing for 15 days
3. Ignoring Tasks: Task points are low-cost ways to earn

FAQ

Q: Do Alpha Points expire?

A: Yes, using 15-day rolling calculation. Points earned today expire after 15 days.

Q: Which accounts count for balance?

A: Including:

• Spot Account
• Funding Account
• Futures Account
• Web3 Wallet

All count toward balance points.

Q: Can I buy or transfer points?

A: No. Alpha Points are account-bound and cannot be purchased or transferred.

Q: Does meeting threshold guarantee airdrop?

A: Not necessarily. Airdrops are first-come-first-served. Even meeting threshold, you might miss out if too slow.

Summary

Alpha Points is key to Binance ecosystem airdrops:

Key Points:

• 15-day rolling calculation, requires consistent activity
• Balance + Volume + Tasks = three point sources
• Zero balance = other points also zero
• Thresholds rising, start early

Recommendations:

1. Maintain stable account balance
2. Do small daily trades
3. Watch for task opportunities
4. Calculate cost-benefit, don't over-trade
