Binance Alpha Advanced Guide: Efficient Scoring and Profit Maximization Strategies

Original author: Deep Tide TechFlow

The Binance Alpha points airdrop model has been live for a month, and the reputation of the Alpha activity "Basic Earnings Guaranteed" is gradually taking shape amidst relentless discussions in the market. The frequent "money distribution" events each week have encouraged initially skeptical onlookers to gradually get involved, attracting a new batch of users drawn in by the earnings.

As of May 29, the daily trading volume of Binance Alpha has reached $1.76 billion.

As market participation in Binance Alpha continues to grow fervently, Alpha points have also surged. According to statistics from Twitter user @litangsongyx, in the latest Alpha event, the number of people with points ≥ 195 is close to 80,000, and the Alpha war is gradually entering a heated phase.

To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. In the current high-difficulty version environment, if you want to start participating or are working hard in the process, a suitable participation strategy is something you must master.

According to the current Binance Alpha activity rules and market participation situation, we have compiled a participation strategy suitable for the current version for your reference.

Reduce Score Grinding Wear

Some people easily earn points every day and make over a thousand dollars a month, while others struggle to earn points and finally receive an airdrop, only to find that the airdrop earnings are barely enough to cover the losses incurred while earning points. Some even spend money and put in effort, only to end up losing instead of gaining. Behind this stark contrast, apart from the different timing of entry, a more crucial factor is that everyone has vastly different control over trading losses.

How to use the current rules to minimize daily trading wear and tear? Please see the guide ↓↓↓↓

• Priority in Trading BSC Assets: Currently, trading Alpha assets on the BSC chain can earn double points, so unless participating in specific token Alpha trading competitions (such as Sonic or Sui chain asset trading), we prioritize BSC assets when accumulating points. Compared to assets from other chains, BSC assets can earn more points with the same trading volume (wear and tear). Additionally, this rule attracts more liquidity into trading, so the trading slippage for BSC chain tokens is relatively small.
• **Manually set trading slippage: Binance provides "intra-exchange entrance" and "wallet exchange" for alpha trading. The Alpha trading tool in the exchange optimizes the trading process, making it easy for novices to get started, but the disadvantage is that you need to manually adjust the slippage and trading gas for each transaction, which may cause high wear and tear if you don't pay attention to these; For transactions in Binance wallet, the system will match the optimal transaction path to minimize transaction slippage, and users only need to manually set a custom slippage once to trade a single currency, and can choose to enable MEV protection.

• Choose Different Trading Pairs: BSC chain assets are not limited to USDT trading pairs; you can try BNB trading pairs or "Alpha Asset/Alpha Asset" trading pairs, which may have different slippage surprises.
• **Try to choose a currency with a range shock or upward trend for trading: **Since the time range of daily trading of a single account is generally controlled at about ten minutes, when choosing a specific trading currency, in addition to observing the trading volume and liquidity depth of the currency, it is also necessary to observe the specific trend of the currency price. According to the editor's measurement, under the same conditions, the trading of tokens that are in a small upward trend (1-5 minutes level) can minimize wear and tear (usually within 5 per 10,000, and sometimes 0 wear). PS: The trend of the small level is unpredictable, and it is necessary to observe while brushing to take this method, and try to complete it as quickly as possible to avoid eating and falling and causing wear and tear to become higher.

How many points should be刷ed daily for optimal results?

It is known that the Alpha activity follows a 15-day rolling points system, so every 15 days is a scoring cycle. Under the current rules, how many points need to be earned each day within 15 days to achieve a relatively suitable return?

Based on the participation score threshold for the recent 10 rounds of Alpha airdrops/TGEs, even for "sunshine-type" airdrops, the participation threshold has already risen to 190 points, which means participants need to earn at least 13 points per day. According to the scoring rules, for most users, to meet the 13-point threshold, they need to have at least "Account Balance ≥ 100 USD (1 point) + Daily Net Purchase Amount ≥ 4096 USD (12 points)."

And at 13 minutes per day, it is only enough to receive an airdrop once or participate in a TGE once per cycle. Given that the current single airdrop yield is around 100 dollars, brushing for 15 days to only receive 1 airdrop is clearly not enough to cover daily energy and trading wear and tear expenses.

According to previous calculations, the wear and tear for each transaction is approximately 0.05%. For most small fund users, within two scoring cycles (30 days), the following two strategies are relatively suitable in balancing fund requirements and the number of operations:

• Reserve 200 USD in your account, trade BSC chain tokens through BNB trading pairs to increase volume. If the daily net purchase amount exceeds 8192 USD, you can earn 14 points (trading volume points) + 1 point (asset points), totaling 15 points per day. Over 15 days, this accumulates to 225 points, allowing you to receive airdrops 4-6 times on average during two volume boosting cycles.
• Account reserves 1200 USD, trading BSC chain tokens through BNB trading pair to increase volume, with a daily net purchase limit exceeding 16384 USD, can earn 15 points (trading volume points) + 2 points (asset points), totaling 17 points daily, accumulating 255 points over 15 days, an average of 8-10 airdrops can be claimed every two volume boosting cycles.
• If the deposit ≥ 10,000 USD, you can also earn an additional 1 point on top of the above brushing amount, which means 18 points per day, totaling 270 points over 15 days, allowing for 10-12 airdrop claims on average every two brushing cycles.

How to use fractions appropriately?

Not only should there be strategies for scoring points, but there are also nuances in how to make good use of points.

Reasonable Utilization Mechanism

The current frequency of the Alpha activities is about 4-6 projects launched per week, with occasional instances where two projects can be participated in on the same day.

Since the claim period of the event airdrop is 24 hours, based on the different conditions of choosing to "receive the airdrop on the day of the project launch" or "receive the airdrop on the second day of the project launch", a mechanism similar to a bug is generated: assuming that the current (May 29), your points are 195, and the threshold for participation in today's event is 194. If you choose to claim your airdrop on May 29th, all other things being equal, your account points on May 30th will be 195-15 = 180 points. If the entry threshold for the event on May 30 is 190, then you will not be able to participate in the airdrop on May 30;

However, if you take advantage of this "BUG" (i.e., claiming the airdrop the day after the project goes live), on May 30th you can jointly claim the airdrops from the two events on May 29th and May 30th with 195 points. If you do this, on May 31st your account points will be 195 - 30 (points consumed for 2 airdrops) = 165 points. This is equivalent to using the BUG to claim one more airdrop under the same conditions. If two Alpha events launch on May 30th, you could even claim two more airdrops under the same conditions.

Twitter user @litangsongyx created the Alpha historical event data dashboard: specific distribution and collection information for the Alpha project, as well as predictions for possible token replenishment based on the rules.

Participate in Subsidy Activities

To promote the participation enthusiasm for Alpha and support various projects that launch Alpha, Binance has launched a trading competition. During a specific period, if the trading volume of certain cryptocurrencies reaches a certain ranking (which varies for each cryptocurrency), corresponding token rewards can be obtained.

According to my testing, under the condition of participating reasonably and moderately every day, it is not too difficult to qualify for ranking rewards. For example, in the $AIOT trading competition, I ultimately received 230 $AIOT (about 70 USD), which can cover most of the wear and tear from trading.

In addition to trading contests, there will also be trading rewards for individual coins, and the threshold is usually relatively simple. For example, the $SOPH trading event launched on May 28 can complete the entire process in a few minutes, and the specific process is as follows: Enter "SOPH" in the Binance customer service window to find the event registration entrance→ after successful registration, go to the BN wallet to buy $100$SOPH→ the $SOPH in the wallet and withdraw it to the exchange (150 $SOPH rewards for this step→ Spot sell $SOPH on the exchange (150 $SOPH for this step). Completing the above will reward you with 300 $SOPH at the end of the event for around $20.

The market is unpredictable; dynamically adjust strategies.

As of May 29th, the average revenue of each alpha event in the current version is $100 ~ $150, and the participation point threshold fluctuates between 190 ~ 205. As the number of participants in the alpha event increases, the visible trend is that the entry threshold will become higher and higher, and the rewards for each event may also decrease. As an individual user, in addition to carefully brushing points, you should also pay attention to the specific participation strategy should also be changed accordingly, and pay attention to the balance between the amount of wear and tear, time and energy expenditure and income expectations.

While dividends are valuable, be aware of potential systematic/non-systematic risks while actively participating. DYOR.
