Dear User,

Binance Wallet is launching the Zest Protocol Trading Competition on Binance Alpha! During the promotion period, trade Zest Protocol (ZEST) with your Binance Wallet (Keyless) or through Binance Alpha to share exclusive token rewards.

• First ZEST Trading Competition Period: October 8, 2026, 21:00 to October 15, 2026, 21:00 (UTC+8)

• Second ZEST Trading Competition Period: October 15, 2026, 21:00 to October 22, 2026, 21:00 (UTC+8)

General rules:

Participants will be ranked in the two event periods based on their total ZEST token purchase volume during their respective event periods.

During the two promotional periods, the top 2,000 users by ZEST token purchase volume will share 556,000 ZEST tokens, with each eligible user receiving 278 ZEST tokens.

During the event period, the reward mechanism will place greater emphasis on early transactions and continuous participation, making reward distribution fairer, returns clearer, and participation more accessible. To this end, we will introduce an early bird bonus.

To further encourage broader participation, we will also introduce a bonus for emerging traders.

Early bird bonus:

The earlier you trade, the higher your returns. During the promotion period, earlier trades will receive a higher bonus, thus increasing your base trading volume.

Daily effective trading volume calculation method: Daily effective trading volume = Actual trading volume × Early bird bonus coefficient

*The total trading volume of the competition is the sum of the daily valid trading volumes during the event period.

During the campaign period, transaction volumes generated by users on the following dates will be subject to corresponding bonus coefficients when calculating rankings:

Bonus for new traders:

In this event, emerging traders are defined as users who have won fewer than 3 awards in the Binance Wallet Alpha Trading Competition within 3 days prior to the start of the event period (based on that time).

Eligible emerging traders will receive a 1.2x emerging trader bonus on their actual trading volume during the promotion period, subject to the emerging trader bonus cap. Note:

• The eligibility of emerging traders will be determined based on a data snapshot taken three days prior to the start of the event.

  • For example, if a user has accumulated exactly 3 wins in a trading competition by the end of day T, then for new events starting on T+1 and T+2, their eligibility snapshot will be taken before their 3rd win, and they will still be eligible for the Rising Star Trader bonus. However, for events starting on T+3 and later, their historical win count will already be 3 or more at the time of the snapshot, and they will no longer qualify as a Rising Star Trader.

• The Rookie Trader Bonus Cap refers to the maximum actual trading volume a user can enjoy during the promotion period. Once a user reaches their Rookie Trader Bonus Cap, subsequent trading volumes will no longer be eligible for the bonus.

If a user meets both the early bird bonus and the new trader bonus, the effective trading volume is calculated as follows:

Effective trading volume = Actual trading volume × Early bird bonus + min(Actual trading volume, Remaining early bird bonus cap) × Early bird bonus

The final ranking will be calculated based on the total effective trading volume of users during the event period. The total effective trading volume of users is the sum of the effective trading volumes of each day during the event period.

Example

User A generates an actual trading volume of 10,000 USDT on Day 1. The early bird bonus for Day 1 is 2.0x, and User A also qualifies for the 1.2x newcomer trading volume bonus, with a newcomer trading volume bonus cap of 5,000 USDT.

User A's effective transaction volume on day 1 is calculated as follows:

• Early bird bonus: 10,000 × 2.0 = 20,000 USDT. Newcomer trading volume bonus: User A's actual trading volume (10,000 USDT) exceeds the newcomer bonus cap (5,000 USDT), therefore only 5,000 USDT is eligible for the newcomer bonus → 5,000 × 1.2 = 6,000 USDT.

Effective trading volume on Day 1 = 20,000 + 6,000 = 26,000 USDT

After Day 1, User A has used up their 5,000 USDT Newcomer Trading Volume Bonus cap and will no longer be eligible for the Newcomer Trading Volume Bonus.

Please note:

• Only transactions made through Binance Wallet (without private key) or Binance Alpha are eligible for this promotion. Transactions made through third-party dApps are not included.

• During the event, only the cumulative purchase volume is counted in the transaction volume; sales are not counted.

• No trading volume limit: There is no limit to the trading volume of each participant in this event.

• Transactions related to cross-chain bridging are not included in the transaction volume of this event.

• Starting from 08:00 (UTC+8) on June 17, 2025, trading volume between Alpha token trading pairs will no longer be counted towards Alpha Points. This trading volume will also not be included in trading competitions and will not affect related rankings.

• Reward Distribution Instructions:

  • All rewards will be calculated according to the above reward distribution rules, and eligible users can receive ZEST token rewards.

  • The token rewards will be distributed to eligible users before 21:00:00 (UTC+8) on November 5, 2026. You must claim your rewards within 14 days of distribution; otherwise, they will be considered automatically forfeited and no replacement rewards will be issued.

  • Eligible winners can view and claim their token rewards through their Binance Alpha account or Binance Wallet (without private key).

1. Users need to click the "Register" button on the Binance App event page to complete the registration. Only trading volume generated after successfully clicking "Register" will be counted as valid trading volume for this event.
