Binance Alpha Beginner Guide
As long as the airdrop yield covers the daily trading friction, you are in profit.
Expected monthly income: 200-500 USDT.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Follow these steps to systematically perform Alpha points farming.
Core Concepts & Profit Logic
Understand the essence and profit model of 'airdrop farming with points'.
- Rule: Holding funds (Balance Points) + Trading (Trading Points) = Airdrops
- Return: Around 4-6 airdrops per month, estimated 200-500 USDT
- Logic: As long as airdrop yield > daily trading friction, it's profitable
Preparation & Capital Advice
Sharpen your tools before you start.
- Requirement: ID & Facial Verification (KYC)
- Recommended Capital: ≥ 1100 USDT (Earns 2 balance points daily, highest efficiency)
- Minimum Capital: 150 USDT (Earns only 1 point daily, more pressure)
Finding High-Score Trading pairs
Use our helper tools to minimize friction.
- Filter: Look for pairs marked '4x Points' in the Alpha list
- Target: Prioritize stablecoin pairs (e.g., USDC/USDT)
- Timing: Trading friction is lowest when stability charts are all green
Points Strategy (15-Day Rolling Cycle)
⚠️ Points use a 15-day rolling window; day 1's points drop off on day 16.
- Goal: Aim for 17 points daily (2 balance + 15 trading)
- Rolling Engine: Max 255 points accumulated over 15 days (15×17)
- Balance Points: Holding ≥ 1000 USDT gets 2 points/day
- Trading Points: Trading ~8192 USDT daily gets 15 points (friction ~1.6U)
- ⚠️ Key Rule: Starting day 16, your oldest 17 points will be removed
Key Skill: Reverse Orders
The core mechanic to reduce losses and quickly accumulate volume.
- Enable 'Reverse' to enter and immediately exit a trade
- Setting: Buy slightly above market price, sell slightly below
- Frequency: 1000U capital only needs ~9 trades to hit the target volume
Airdrop Claiming & Cash Out
Reap the rewards and convert points to USDT.
- Preparation: Log in 5 minutes early, ensure stable network connection
- Strategy: The claim threshold lowers every 5 minutes
- Cash Out: Sell to USDT immediately on the asset page (abandon micro-airdrops <25U)
TL;DR Workflow Summary
Prepare 1100U→Find an all-green "4x Points" pair on the dashboard
→Use "Reverse Orders" to quickly reach 8000U API volume
→Burn ~1.6U in friction for full points→Wait for airdrop day, convert new allocation tokens and sell for profit.
