Playing Binance Alpha: How to earn points efficiently and at low cost? Opening: The "new track" of the points arena

Binance Alpha Points System is like a battle for points in the cryptocurrency world. Since the rules were updated in May 2025, the competition has become increasingly fierce. The threshold for $BOOP airdrops has soared to 137 points. Some players have reached 150 points in just 15 days, and the daily average of 10-12 points is a true "roll king". This score is not a simple digital game. It directly determines whether you can get the "entry ticket" to the Web3 world - whether you participate in the token generation event (TGE) or grab a wave of airdrops, the score is the hard truth.

Today, we will deeply analyze the rules of Binance Alpha Points, combine on-chain data, and sort out a set of low-cost and high-efficiency scoring strategies to help you stand out in this points competition and firmly grasp the Web3 dividends.

Chapter 1: Breaking down the points rules, knowing yourself and your opponent

1.1 What are Binance Alpha Points?

Binance Alpha Points is a points system that specifically evaluates user activity. It is mainly used to measure your participation in the Binance Alpha section and Binance Wallet ecosystem. The points directly determine whether you can participate in activities such as the Token Generation Event (TGE) or the Alpha token airdrop. In short, points are your "ticket", the higher the points, the more opportunities.

1.2 What is Binance Alpha Token?

Binance Alpha tokens refer to a special type of tokens displayed in the Binance Alpha section. Binance Alpha was officially launched on December 17, 2024, and is committed to discovering early projects with growth potential in the Web3 ecosystem. These tokens are usually tokens of emerging projects, and some of them have the opportunity to be listed on the Binance spot market in the future, but not all tokens can be successfully listed, so investment should be cautious.

1.3 How are points calculated?

Binance Alpha Points consist of two parts: balance points and trading volume points. The final score is the daily average sum of the past 15 days. Daily points will be snapshotted based on your asset balance and trading behavior. The snapshot time zone is UTC time to ensure fair participation of global users.

  • Balance points: Based on the total balance of your Binance CEX account (master account) and keyless wallet (including Alpha tokens and tokens that were previously displayed in the Alpha section and are now listed on the spot market). The balance of sub-accounts will be merged into the main account for calculation, and points cannot be increased by dispersing funds.
  • Volume Points: Based on the total amount of Alpha tokens you purchase on the Binance Alpha platform and keyless wallet (buys only count, sales do not count). Volume Points only look at the purchase amount and are not affected by subsequent sales. For example, if you buy $600 worth of tokens and then sell $500, your points will still be calculated based on $600. The token value is calculated based on the USD equivalent market price at the time of the transaction to ensure fairness in points.

What’s even more exciting is that Binance will launch a double points campaign starting May 1. If you buy Alpha tokens through Binance Smart Chain (BSC) or use a limit order to buy any Alpha token, the transaction volume will be doubled. For example, a $10 BSC transaction will be counted as $20, giving you 10 points. This “buy one get one free” benefit is a boon for players who want to score points.

In order to understand the points rules more intuitively, we have compiled the following table to show the specific calculation methods of balance points and transaction volume points: Playing Binance Alpha: How to earn points efficiently and at low cost?

Note: 1 point will be added for every doubling of trading volume points. The time zone of the balance snapshot is UTC.

From this table, you can clearly see that the balance points grow slowly, while the doubling mechanism of transaction volume points makes it the main force for brushing points.

Chapter 2: What are the points for? The rewards are huge

You may be curious, what is the point of spending so much effort to earn points? The answer is: it is very useful! Alpha points directly determine whether you can participate in TGE and airdrop activities. TGE is an opportunity to invest in high-potential projects at an early stage, and the returns are often several times or even dozens of times. And airdrops are synonymous with "freeloading". For example, in the recent $BOOP airdrop, as long as the points meet the requirements, you can get tokens for free, which may be worth hundreds of dollars in conversion.

Not to mention some cases in April. Some players made more than $2,000 in profits by participating in activities after accurately grasping the points rules. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a return? Especially after the double points activity was launched, the threshold was lowered a lot, which is equivalent to giving everyone a good opportunity to "get on board". If you miss this wave, the subsequent competition will only be more intense.

Chapter 3: Upgrading the scoring strategy, low cost is king

Now let's get to the point: How to efficiently score points without making your wallet cry? The goal is to average 10-12 points per day, and strive to reach 150-180 points within 30 days, while keeping transaction wear and tear (handling fees and slippage) within a reasonable range. The following are three optimization strategies, combined with the latest rules and on-chain trends, to help you get twice the result with half the effort.

3.1 Double Points Benefits: The Magic of BSC and Limit Orders

The double points activity is the biggest bonus at present, especially suitable for BSC chain operations. BSC's gas fee is extremely low, usually only 0.01 to 0.03 US dollars per transaction, which is very cost-effective. On-chain data shows that tokens like $B2 account for up to 13% of the transaction volume, have good liquidity, and small price fluctuations, which are very suitable for high-frequency trading.

How to do it specifically? Suppose you trade $10 on BSC every day, which will be counted as $20 during the event, and you will get 10 points directly, easily completing your daily average goal. If you use a limit order, the effect will be better. A limit order means that you set a buying price (for example, a little lower than the market price) and a selling price (a little higher than the market price), such as buying at $5 and then selling at $5.02. Repeating the operation can not only accumulate trading volume, but also control slippage within 0.1% to 0.2%. In this way, if you accumulate 300 points in 30 days, the transaction cost is about $30 to $60, which is quite cost-effective.

3.2 Cost-effectiveness of low-gas chains: Solana and Sonic work together

If you value cost control more, Solana and Sonic are worth a try. Solana's gas fee is usually less than $0.01, and the popular token $KMNO on the chain accounts for more than 30% of the transaction volume, with excellent liquidity, suitable for small-amount high-frequency transactions. The Sonic chain has lower fees and has recently added activity bonuses. The token $Anon is a good choice.

A feasible solution is to trade $100 to $200 on the Sonic chain every day. Each transaction is $2 to $5, and 50 to 100 transactions are completed, and the basic points are 50 to 100 points. With the double bonus, it may reach 100 to 200 points. The slippage is controlled at 0.1%, the cost per day is about $2, and in 30 days, it is only $60, which can earn 3,000 points. Solana's operating logic is similar, but its token is more mature and suitable for novice players.

3.3 Scoring and investment: a win-win situation for potential tokens

If you have a certain judgment of the market, you can try the "scoring + investment" method. Choose some tokens with appreciation potential, such as $gork, which has recently risen to the top three in terms of trading volume and is quite popular in the market. When operating, trade 5 to 10 US dollars each time, accumulate and hold a part of it, and wait for appreciation. You can also use limit orders to set low buy and high sell to reduce costs.

The beauty of this method is that you can not only get points, but also earn benefits from token appreciation. For example, if you invest $300 to buy $gork and earn 300 points in 30 days, if the token appreciates by 50%, you can earn an extra $150, easily covering the $60 transaction cost. However, be careful to choose tokens with stable K-line trends, avoid chasing high prices, and prevent losses caused by sudden price drops.

To help you choose the strategy that’s right for you, we compared three approaches:

As can be seen from the table, the BSC strategy is suitable for players who pursue stable efficiency, the Solana/Sonic strategy has low cost and high points, and the potential token strategy may bring additional benefits but with slightly higher risks. You can choose the most suitable solution according to your needs.

Chapter 4: Break through bottlenecks and strive for higher goals

The world of points is never smooth sailing. At present, many players are close to 150 points. The daily average of 10-12 points seems stable, but if you want to sprint to 180 points or even higher, it feels like you have hit an "invisible wall". Don't panic, here are a few tricks to help you break through the bottleneck and move towards a higher goal.

Increase trading volume and strive for a high score in a single day

The current daily average of 10-12 points is mainly based on a daily trading volume of 20-24 US dollars (after doubling the bonus). If you want to break through the bottleneck, you can try to increase the daily trading volume to 200 US dollars. With the double bonus, this is equivalent to a trading volume of 400 US dollars, and you can get 200 points in a single day. If you keep this pace for a few days, the points will quickly widen the gap. However, it should be noted that as the trading volume increases, the cost will also increase. It is recommended to operate in batches, with each transaction of 5-10 US dollars, to avoid the slippage risk caused by a one-time large transaction.

Multi-chain collaboration doubles efficiency

Single-chain operation may put you into an efficiency bottleneck, so why not try multi-chain collaboration? For example, if you score on BSC, Solana, and Sonic at the same time, each chain trades 50-70 US dollars a day, and the three chains add up to 150-210 US dollars, easily reaching an average of 200 points per day. BSC is suitable for high-frequency trading, Solana has low costs, and Sonic may have activity bonuses. The three have their own advantages, and the combination can not only disperse risks, but also improve overall efficiency. Especially the Sonic chain, the recent activities may bring extra points rewards, which is worth spending more effort.

Optimize trading hours and seize low-volatility windows

Market fluctuations have a significant impact on the efficiency of scoring. If you trade during periods of drastic price fluctuations, slippage may increase significantly, affecting cost control. It is recommended to choose a relatively calm market period, such as avoiding the volatile period after the release of major news, or choose the Asian session (8 am to 2 pm Beijing time), when market liquidity is relatively stable and slippage can usually be controlled within 0.1%. Reasonable arrangement of trading time can make your scoring efficiency even higher.

Improve operational efficiency with tools

If you operate manually every day, the time cost may make you tired. You might as well try some automated tools, such as setting up automatic trading scripts through the Binance API, setting the buy and sell prices of limit orders in advance, and letting the program help you complete high-frequency trading. This method is particularly suitable for players with a certain technical foundation, which can greatly save time while ensuring the stability of transactions. However, be sure to test the strategy before using the tool to avoid capital losses due to setting errors.

Chapter 5: Risk Control, Winning with Stability

Although it is exciting to brush points, you should not let your wallet "take a heavy toll". In the world of points, winning by playing it safe is the long-term solution. Here are a few key risk control points to ensure that your brushing journey is both efficient and safe.

Cost management: Keep wear and tear to a minimum: The core of scoring lies in cost control. Ideally, the daily handling fee and slippage cost should be controlled below $2, and the total cost in 30 days should not exceed $60. How to do it? First, choose a token with high liquidity, such as $KMNO or $B2. For a transaction volume of $1024, the slippage may be only $2, which is very cost-effective. Secondly, make good use of limit orders and set reasonable bid and ask spreads (such as 0.1%-0.2%) to avoid additional losses caused by market orders. Finally, try to operate on chains with low gas fees, such as Solana and Sonic, and avoid using chains with high gas fees such as Ethereum.

Market risk: Don’t let volatility “steal” your profits: Market volatility is the enemy of scoring. If you buy at a high price and encounter a sudden drop, you may lose a few points, which is not worth the loss. How to avoid it? First, don’t chase the rise and sell the fall, choose tokens with stable K-line trends, such as $KMNO, which has a large trading volume and small volatility. Secondly, pay attention to market sentiment, observe the trading volume and price trends of tokens through on-chain data dashboards (such as Dune), and avoid abnormal volatility periods. If you are a novice, you can start with small transactions and gradually become familiar with the market rhythm.

Fund security: decentralized operations are more secure: Although it is simple to focus on one token, it is also more risky. If the token suddenly plummets, or a black swan event occurs in the project, your funds may be hit hard. A better approach is to decentralized operations and allocate funds to multiple tokens, such as trading $B2, $KMNO and $gork at the same time, allocating 30%-40% of funds to each token. In this way, even if one token has problems, other tokens can help you "cover the bottom", and the overall risk is more controllable.

Compliance and efficiency: Dual protection of rules and tools: When brushing points, you must abide by the platform rules to avoid account restrictions due to abnormal operations. For example, too frequent transactions may trigger risk control. It is recommended to control the transaction frequency to no more than 5 transactions per minute. In addition, if time is limited, you can consider using Binance API to set up automatic transactions and set trading strategies in advance, which is both time-saving and efficient. However, you must carefully read the platform's terms of use before use to ensure compliance with the operation, otherwise it may not be worth the loss.

Chapter 6: Future Trends, Seize the Window of Time

The competition for Alpha points will only become more and more intense, and future trends are worth planning ahead. The current points rules and activities may be your last chance to "overtake on the curve". The following are several trends and suggestions worth paying attention to.

Points threshold: may exceed 200 points

As more and more players join, the score threshold will inevitably rise. Currently, $BOOP airdrops require 137 points, and the TGE of some popular projects may require even higher points. It is expected that the score threshold may exceed 180-200 points in the next month. If your current score is still around 150 points, the next 30 days are crucial. Maintain an average of 10-12 points per day, and seize the double points event to strive to reach a higher position before the threshold is raised.

Event window: Double points, don’t miss it

The double points event that started on May 1st is the biggest bonus window at present. But this event will not last forever and may end in the next few weeks. Once the event ends, the efficiency of brushing points will drop significantly and the points gap will be further widened. Therefore, now is a good time to accelerate brushing points. Give priority to using the BSC chain and limit orders to maximize the advantage of doubling the transaction volume and lay a good foundation for subsequent competition.

Emerging Chain Opportunities: Sonic’s Potential is Unfulfilled

As an emerging ecosystem, the Sonic Chain has attracted many players with its recent activities. On-chain data shows that the transaction volume of the Sonic Chain token $Anon is growing rapidly, and there may be more incentive activities in the future, such as additional points or token airdrops. If you want to earn more than points, you can increase your transaction volume on the Sonic Chain appropriately, pay attention to official announcements, and participate in new activities as soon as possible.

Strategic adjustment: flexibly respond to new changes

The points world is changing rapidly, and the rules and market environment may be adjusted at any time. For example, Binance may launch new token support or adjust the calculation method of double points. It is recommended that you check the official announcement regularly and pay attention to on-chain data dashboards such as Dune to understand the latest trading volume and token trends. Flexibly adjust strategies according to market changes, such as switching to other chains or tokens in time when the trading volume of popular tokens decreases, so as to always maintain an efficient rhythm of brushing points.

Conclusion: In the points competition, wisdom wins

Binance Alpha Points System opens a door to Web3 opportunities for players. Whether it is taking advantage of BSC's double bonus, choosing Solana and Sonic's low-cost transactions, or achieving a win-win situation through potential tokens, the core of success lies in low cost and continuous action. There are no shortcuts in the points arena, but with strategy and wisdom, you can go further in this game. May your points rise steadily and unlock your Web3 bonuses as soon as possible!
