Dear Binance Community Members,
Binance Wallet is pleased to announce the launch of the Acurast Trading Competition on Binance Alpha! During the promotion period, trade ACU (Acurast) in your Binance Wallet (Keyless) or via Binance Alpha to earn exclusive token rewards. Any user eligible to trade Binance Alpha tokens can participate in this trading competition.
Acurast competition period: October 16, 2026, 13:00 (UTC) to October 23, 2026, 13:00 (UTC)
General Rules
Participants will be ranked according to their total Acurast purchase volume during the promotion period. The top 2,000 users by Acurast token purchase volume during the promotion period will share 1,112,000 Acurast tokens equally (= 556 Acurast per user).
Rewards now place greater emphasis on early trading and consistent participation throughout the promotion period, making reward distribution fairer, returns clearer, and participation more accessible. To this end, we are introducing an Early Bird Boost multiplier.
To further encourage broader participation, we are also introducing a Rising Trader Boost multiplier.
Early Bird Boost multiplier:
Users can now start trading earlier to earn more. During the promotion period, earlier trades will receive a higher multiplier that increases a user’s base trading volume.
Daily effective trading volume is calculated as follows:
Daily effective trading volume = Actual trading volume * Early Bird Boost multiplier
Note: Total trading volume for the competition is the sum of daily effective trading volumes during the promotion period.
Users’ base trading volume generated on the following days of the promotion period will be multiplied by the corresponding multiplier when calculating the rankings:
Trading Day | Eligible Date and Time (UTC) | Multiplier |
Day 1 | Acurast competition period: October 16, 2026, 13:00 to October 17, 2026, 13:00 | 3.0x |
Day 2 | Acurast competition period: October 17, 2026, 13:00 to October 18, 2026, 13:00 | 3.0x |
Day 3 | Acurast competition period: October 18, 2026, 13:00 to October 19, 2026, 13:00 | 2.5x |
Day 4 | Acurast competition period: October 19, 2026, 13:00 to October 20, 2026, 13:00 | 2.0x |
Day 5 | Acurast competition period: October 20, 2026, 13:00 to October 21, 2026, 13:00 | 1.8x |
Day 6 | Acurast competition period: October 21, 2026, 13:00 to October 22, 2026, 13:00 | 1.3x |
Day 7 | Acurast competition period: October 22, 2026, 13:00 to October 23, 2026, 13:00 | 1.0x |
Rising Trader Boost multiplier:
For this promotion, “Rising Traders” are users who, as of three days before the promotion period begins, have received rewards in fewer than 3 previous Binance Wallet Alpha trading competitions.
Eligible Rising Traders will receive a 1.2x Rising Trader Boost on their actual trading volume during the promotion period, subject to the Rising Trader Boost cap.
Notes:
Rising Trader status is determined as of three days before the activity period begins.
For example, if a user wins a trading competition that ends on day T, bringing their cumulative historical number of wins to exactly 3, they will still be considered a Rising Trader for new competitions starting on T+1 and T+2 (because the status snapshot was taken before their 3rd win). However, for competitions starting on T+3 and later, their historical number of wins will already be 3 or more at the time of the snapshot, and they will no longer be eligible for the Rising Trader Boost.
The Rising Trader Boost cap is the maximum actual trading volume eligible for the Rising Trader Boost during the promotion period. Once a user reaches the Rising Trader Boost cap, they will no longer receive the Rising Trader Boost on any subsequent trading volume.
If both the Early Bird Boost multiplier and the Rising Trader Boost apply, effective trading volume is calculated as follows:
Effective trading volume = Actual trading volume * Early Bird Boost multiplier + min(Actual trading volume, Remaining Rising Trader Boost Cap) * Rising Trader Boost
The final ranking will be calculated based on users’ total effective trading volume during the promotion period. A user’s total effective trading volume is the sum of their daily effective trading volumes throughout the promotion period.
Example:
User A makes trades with an actual trading volume of 10,000 USDT on Day 1. The Day 1 Early Bird Boost multiplier is 3.0x, and User A is also eligible for a 1.2x Rising Trader Boost. The Rising Trader Boost cap is 5,000 USDT.
User A’s daily effective trading volume on Day 1 is calculated as follows:
Early Bird Boost: 10,000 * 3.0 = 30,000 USDT
Rising Trader Boost: User A’s actual trading volume (10,000 USDT) exceeds the Rising Trader Boost cap (5,000 USDT), so only 5,000 USDT qualifies for the Rising Trader Boost = 5,000 * 1.2 = 6,000 USDT
Day 1 effective trading volume = 30,000 + 6,000 = 36,000 USDT
After Day 1, User A’s 5,000 USDT Rising Trader Boost cap has been fully used. Therefore, User A will no longer receive the Rising Trader Boost on any subsequent trading volume during the promotion period.
Please note:
Only trades made through Binance Wallet (Keyless) or Binance Alpha in Binance Wallet will count toward the promotion. Transactions through third-party DApps will not count.
Only cumulative purchases count toward trading volume for the purposes of the promotion. Sales do not count.
No volume limits: there is no trading volume limit for any promotion participant.
Token transfers between networks are not eligible for the promotion.
From June 17, 2025, 00:00 (UTC), trading volume generated by Alpha tokens in Alpha-to-Alpha pairs will no longer count toward Alpha Points. This trading volume will also be excluded from the trading competition and will not affect participants’ leaderboard positions.
Reward distribution:
All rewards will be calculated according to the distribution rules above and will be available for eligible users to claim in Acurast tokens.
Token rewards will be available for eligible users to claim until November 13, 2026, 13:00:00 (UTC). Eligible users must claim their rewards within 14 days of them becoming available. Any rewards not claimed within this period will be forfeited and will not be reissued.
Eligible winners can view and claim token rewards directly through their Binance Alpha or Binance Wallet (Keyless) accounts.
How to participate:
To participate in the promotion, tap [Join] on the event page in the Binance app. Only trading volume generated after successfully tapping [Join] will count as valid trading volume in the competition.
Update the Binance app to the latest version, create a Binance Wallet (Keyless), and back it up.
Trade Acurast through Binance Wallet (Keyless) or Binance Alpha during the promotion period.
After the promotion period ends, the ranking will be calculated automatically. Eligible winners will be able to claim their rewards on the event page.
