【3.6x weighting on day one for newcomers】Why the same buy is more than three times as valuable for a new user as for a veteran airdrop farmer
Binance Alpha’s $CT trading competition has two multipliers hidden in the rules. Most people look at them separately and miss that they stack.
The first is the early-bird multiplier: purchases made in the first two days count as 3.0x volume, purchases on day three count as 2.5x, and the multiplier drops each day until it reaches 1.0x on day seven. The second is the newcomer bonus: if you’ve won fewer than three Alpha trading competitions in the past, your trading volume gets another 1.2x multiplier. Past winners don’t get it.
Here’s the key: the two multipliers are multiplied together. A newcomer who’s never farmed before and joins on day one gets 3.0 × 1.2 = 3.6x effective weighting (though the platform has also set a cap). By contrast, a veteran who’s won several competitions and waits until day seven to join gets just 1.0x weighting. For the same amount of money, their ranking weight differs by 3.6x.
So this competition isn’t about “who has the most money”—it’s about “who’s both new and early.” The platform’s design clearly tilts rewards toward newcomers and early birds, while reducing the weighting for veteran airdrop farmers.
My take: If you haven’t farmed much before and are planning to buy CT, don’t wait. The first two days, when you can stack the full 3.6x, are the best window. Veterans have much less of an edge this time. And if you missed the early-bird window in the first round, don’t panic: round two opens on October 8, with another 3.0x window for the first two days. You can still stack the multipliers.
Are you a beneficiary of this round’s 1.2x newcomer bonus, or are you already considered a “veteran airdrop farmer”?
