Binance announced today (17th) in the afternoon that the Alpha airdrop activity will adopt a two-stage mechanism starting from June 19, 2025, to enhance the efficiency of reward collection and reduce reissues.
Two-Stage Rules and Potential Impacts
The first stage of "Priority Claiming" will be launched on the same day, only open to accounts with Alpha points reaching a high threshold X. Users can obtain allocation by completing the application within the exclusive time window, with quotas guaranteed not to be affected by rush purchases, and points will be simultaneously deducted.
The second stage will be launched after the first stage ends, with the threshold lowered to Y (Y < X), adopting a first-come, first-served approach, stopping when the reward pool is exhausted. The official example indicates that each claim will consume approximately 15 points, but the actual value depends on updates on the event page.
Binance noted on Square that this is a response to the previously low claiming rates of some airdrops. Experts analyze that the lowered threshold will help increase retail investor participation, but popular projects may be fully claimed by high-point users in the first stage.
In summary, the new system separates "quota guarantee" and "speed claiming", allowing high-point accounts to secure rewards, while low-point users still have a chance but must closely monitor and act quickly. Participants should first confirm their Alpha point balance and pay attention to official subsequent announcements to avoid missing the best timing.
