3. When does this new mechanism take effect?

Time and snapshot rules

4. Why is my order not included in the Binance Alpha points calculation for a specific date?

Binance Alpha points will be calculated based on account snapshots taken daily at 07:59:59 (UTC+8).

For example, if you complete a trade at 02:00 (UTC+8) on April 23, that trade will count towards the points calculation period for April 22, as it occurred before April 23 at 07:59:59 (UTC+8).

Points expiration, usage, and balance

5. Do Binance Alpha points expire automatically?

Yes. Binance Alpha points operate on a rolling 15-day cycle. Each Binance Alpha point will automatically expire 15 days after the snapshot date.

6. When are points consumed?

When you confirm participation in Alpha events (such as Alpha airdrops or TGE), Binance Alpha points will be consumed immediately.

Consumed points will count towards the total score statistics the next day.

7. Can I choose whether to consume points in an airdrop?

Yes. Participation in any activity is optional. You can choose whether to consume your Binance Alpha points.

8. What happens after Alpha tokens are listed for spot trading?

If Alpha tokens are listed for spot trading, trades made after the listing will not count towards Alpha trading volume.

9. Does the type of wallet affect Alpha trading volume tracking?

Yes. Only transactions made through Binance Wallet (non-custodial) and Binance centralized exchanges are eligible. If a wallet is imported or exported, its trading volume will not count towards Alpha trading volume. A re-imported wallet is no longer considered non-custodial.

10. How is my daily Binance Alpha points balance calculated?

Your daily Binance Alpha points balance is calculated using a rolling 15-day window. This means your balance consists of all points earned and consumed over the past 15 days. Here’s how it works:

Sample breakdown:

  • April 28 - May 12:

    • On May 13, the 15-day rolling points calculation window covers April 28 to May 12.

    • Days 1 to 15: You earned 10 points daily from day 1 to day 10, and earned no points from day 11 to day 15, totaling 100 points.

    • Today (May 13): You used 5 points, but because the consumed points will count towards the total for the next day, your balance remains 100 points for the day.

  • April 29 - May 13:

    • On May 14, due to the rolling window moving forward, the points earned on April 28 will expire. The current 15-day window is from April 29 to May 13.

    • Days 1 to 15 (April 29 - May 13): You still have 90 points left.

    • Today (May 14): The 5 points used the previous day (May 13) are now effective, reducing the balance to 85 points.

  • April 30 - May 14:

    • On May 15, due to the rolling window continuing to move forward, the points earned on April 29 will expire. The current 15-day window is from April 30 to May 14.

    • Days 1 to 15 (April 30 - May 14): You still have 75 points left.

    • Today (May 15): Your current points balance is 75 points.

1. What are Binance Alpha points?

  • Binance Alpha points are a points system used to assess user activity within the Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet ecosystem, determining their eligibility for token generation events (TGE) and Alpha token airdrops, among others.

2. What are Binance Alpha tokens?

  • Binance Alpha tokens refer to tokens displayed in the Binance Alpha section on the Binance trading platform and Binance wallet. Binance Alpha was officially announced on December 17, 2024, and is committed to discovering early-stage projects with growth potential in the Web3 ecosystem. Some tokens on Binance Alpha may have the opportunity to be listed on the Binance Spot Market in the future, but this is not guaranteed.

3. How are Binance Alpha points calculated?

  • Binance Alpha points are accumulated daily based on the following two data points:

    • Balance points:

      • Your total assets on Binance Exchange (including all accounts and Binance Alpha accounts) and Binance Wallet, counting only tokens listed on the Binance Spot Market and those supported by Alpha trading. Tokens not supported in Binance Spot or Alpha trading (such as LSD tokens) are not counted as valid assets.

    • Trading volume points:

      • The total trading volume of Alpha* tokens purchased through Binance Exchange and Binance Non-Custodial Wallet. Only trades made with Binance Alpha tokens or tokens listed on the Binance Spot Market count towards trading volume points. Trades paid with other currencies will not count towards points.

      • Selling Alpha tokens will not affect your points.

  • Your total Binance Alpha points = the sum of daily points (including balance points and trading volume points) earned over the past 15 days.

4. How are balance points calculated?

  • Balance points are calculated based on tiered rules, with the specific tiers as follows:

    • $100 to <$1,000 = 1 point/day

    • $1,000 to <$10,000 = 2 points/day

    • $10,000 to <$100,000 = 3 points/day

    • $100,000 and above = 4 points/day

  • Snapshot timezone: UTC+8 at 08:00

5. How is trading volume points calculated?

  • Your trading volume points are calculated as follows:

    • $2 → 1 point

    • $4 → 2 points

    • $8 → 3 points

    • $16 → 4 points

    • $32 → 5 points

Note: Each time your purchase amount doubles, you will receive an additional point. For example, $64 = 6 points, $128 = 7 points, and so on.

6. Can I spread $100,000 across multiple sub-accounts to earn more points through each account?

  • Only the main account is eligible to earn Binance Alpha points. The balance of sub-accounts will be combined into the main account points, and you cannot earn more points by spreading your balance across different accounts.

7. How is my balance and/or trading value calculated?

  • The value of Alpha tokens is calculated at the market price equivalent to USD at the time of the trade, aiming to ensure fairness and consistency in points tracking.

8. If I buy tokens worth $600 and then sell them for $500, will my trading volume points be calculated based on $600?

  • Yes. The token purchase mechanism tracks your purchase amount, not your current holdings. Therefore, even if you later sell some tokens, you will still receive corresponding Binance Alpha points based on the $600 purchase amount.
