From Launchpool mining to Megadrop, HODLer airdrops, and the highly anticipated Alpha points system under the Web3 wallet TGE activities and Alpha airdrops, Binance's profit-generating effects continue to evolve, offering opportunities for users with different risk preferences and capital sizes.

However, faced with a constant stream of new activities, many retail investors often feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start. This article aims to thoroughly analyze the four main profit-generating activity types currently offered by Binance—Binance Wallet Alpha Airdrop/TGE, Launchpool, HODLer Airdrop, and Megadrop. It will detail the core rules, participation processes, and latest profit situations of each activity. More importantly, this article will summarize specific profit paths and techniques under the two core strategies of "steadily holding BNB" and "actively accumulating Alpha points" to help everyone efficiently mine for gold in the Binance ecosystem and maximize profits.

I. Overview of Binance's Four Main New Token Mining Activities

To give everyone a quick overall impression of Binance's main new token mining activities, we have summarized their rules and processes in the table below for a comparative overview.

II. Binance Wallet TGE Activities & Alpha Airdrops: Securing "Tickets" to Early Projects

Binance's Alpha section has launched two core high-value activities: Token Generation Events (TGE) and Alpha token airdrops. The essence is to participate in the initial stage of a project's public token issuance (TGE) through Binance's Web3 wallet, or even directly receive airdrops. These activities are closely linked to Binance's Alpha points system, where an account with high Alpha points often has an easier time securing participation eligibility.

2.1 Core Rules and Participation Process

Users obtain subscription or airdrop eligibility by meeting the Alpha points threshold through Binance's Web3 wallet, with the process as follows:

2.2 Alpha Points Rules

Points consist of two parts: asset balance points and trading volume points. Every day at 23:59:59 UTC, the system takes a snapshot of the user's asset balance in Binance's CEX main account and non-custodial wallets, as well as the amount spent on purchasing Alpha tokens in the past 24 hours, to calculate the day's points. Points use a rolling 15-day calculation mechanism, with each point expiring after 15 days. The specific rules are as follows:

• Balance Points: Total asset balances are tallied and points are awarded on a tiered basis. For example, a balance of $100-$1,000 earns 1 point per day, $1,000-$10,000 earns 2 points per day, $10,000-$100,000 earns 3 points per day, and ≥$100,000 earns 4 points per day. The maximum daily balance points are 4 (for a holding of ≥$100,000).

• Trading Volume Points: The total amount spent on purchasing Alpha tokens through Binance's platform or wallet on the same day is tallied (sales are not counted). Points increase exponentially with the purchase amount: $2 earns 1 point, $4 earns 2 points, $8 earns 3 points, $16 earns 4 points, $32 earns 5 points, and each subsequent doubling of the amount adds 1 point. For example, if you buy $600 and then sell $500, the points are still calculated based on the $600 purchase. Starting in May, Binance launched a double points campaign, where purchasing Alpha tokens on the BSC chain or using limit orders to buy Alpha tokens doubles the transaction amount for points calculation, significantly reducing the pressure of accumulating points.

Note: When confirming participation in Alpha activities (such as Alpha airdrops or TGE), Alpha points are immediately consumed.

2.3 Efficient Alpha Points Accumulation Techniques

The following strategies are summarized based on community experience and are for reference only. Please be mindful of the costs and risks involved.

Key Tips:

• Points Requirement: The threshold is rising. To be on the safe side, you need to accumulate over 200 points for recent airdrops.

• Buy and Sell Immediately: Purchase and then immediately sell Alpha tokens to control risk. The main costs are transaction slippage and fee wear and tear.

• Multiple Accounts: Accumulating points with multiple accounts at a low cost may be more efficient than a single account with a high-cost investment (please be mindful of platform rules).

• Double Trading Volume Campaigns: Binance's campaigns that double trading volume can be utilized by purchasing Alpha tokens on the BSC chain or using limit orders to buy any Alpha tokens. Note that placing limit orders does not guarantee a successful purchase.

• Trading Operation Tips: Choose pools with high liquidity; coins with an upward price trend within a few minutes; for large transactions (e.g., over $2,000), split them into smaller transactions (e.g., four transactions); select coins with a trading fee of 0.01% and a price impact of less than 0.01%. You can also consider using limit orders to sell, which ensures profit while earning double points. Currently, B2, AIOT, MYX, and ZKJ not only offer points rewards but also participation in trading competitions.

2.4 Profit Analysis

The table below estimates the historical profits from Binance's TGE new token activities and Alpha airdrops, showing a consistently significant profit effect. For example, the SHELL project had a single-account profit of up to 280u on its launch day, with a historical high of 583u per account; the HYPER project had a single-account profit of 207u on its launch day, with a historical high of 280u; and the PARTI project had a single-account profit of 140u on its launch day. Assuming an account that meets the conditions participated in all the above projects, the total profit calculated based on the launch day price would be approximately 2,933u, and if sold at the historical high, the profit would soar to 5,242u. However, it should be noted that not all projects offer high returns, and the number of airdrops and participation eligibility vary by project.

III. Launchpool: Stable Staking Mining

Binance's Launchpool allows users to stake their held BNB, FDUSD, USDC, and other tokens to "mine" for free tokens of new projects in the form of rewards. This is a relatively stable and easy-to-operate way to earn coins.

3.1 Core Rules and Participation Process

Users stake eligible tokens into the corresponding mining pools and receive new token rewards based on the proportion and duration of their stake.

3.2 Comparison of Different Token Pool Yields and Strategies

• BNB and FDUSD Outperform USDC: As shown in the table below, the annual percentage yield (APY) of the BNB pool is usually competitive, but it comes with the risk of BNB's price volatility. Stablecoin pools (FDUSD, USDC) have lower risk and stable principal value, making them suitable for risk-averse investors. Sometimes, their APY may even exceed that of the BNB pool. Among them, FDUSD, as Binance's main promoted stablecoin, often achieves an APY comparable to or even higher than the BNB pool in Launchpool activities, and sometimes with a larger allocation quota.

Funding Allocation:

• Long-term BNB Holders: Staking BNB into the BNB pool is a natural choice, achieving "killing two birds with one stone" (enjoying the potential appreciation of BNB + mining rewards).

• Conservative Investors: Prioritize the FDUSD pool, followed by the USDC pool.

• Large Capital Investors: Appropriately diversify into different pools or dynamically adjust based on the APY of each pool.

IV. HODLer Airdrops: Exclusive Benefits for BNB Holders

HODLer airdrops are a passive benefit mechanism designed by Binance specifically for long-term BNB holders. Users simply need to hold BNB and subscribe it to Binance Earn's current or fixed-term products to have the opportunity to receive airdropped tokens from new projects.

4.1 Core Rules and Participation Process

Users deposit BNB into Binance's principal-protected wealth management products (including fixed-term or current wealth management, or on-chain yield products). Binance will take random snapshots of their BNB holdings during the campaign and distribute corresponding amounts of new coin airdrops based on the holding amount. This mechanism ensures that holders can share in the benefits of new project launches without frequent operations. The process is as follows:

4.2 Profit Analysis

At the same time, Binance's HODLer airdrop activities have also brought continuous and substantial "passive income" for long-term BNB holders. In the profit estimation table below, calculated based on the closing price on the airdrop day, the BERA project achieved an astonishing 328.5% APY, while the KAITO and LAYER projects also had high APYs of 107.0% and 106.1%, respectively. Even for recent projects like SIGN, the APY reached 55.9%. HODLer airdrops are not just rare surprises but an effective way to truly enhance the comprehensive yield of holding coins, further strengthening the perception of BNB as a "golden shovel."

V. Megadrop: BNB Lock-up + Web3 Task Combo

Binance's Megadrop is a new type of token issuance platform that combines BNB lock-up (through Binance Earn's fixed-term products) and Web3 tasks (through Binance's Web3 wallet). It can be seen as Binance's version of "interactive airdrops": on the one hand, users need to lock a certain amount of BNB in fixed-term wealth management for a set period, and on the other hand, they need to complete designated on-chain tasks using Binance's built-in Web3 wallet. The combination of these two determines the final airdrop share.

5.1 Core Rules and Participation Process

Megadrop allocates rewards based on points, with each user's airdrop amount proportional to their points. Points consist of two parts:

• BNB Lock-up Points: Users subscribe to fixed-term wealth management with BNB, and the system calculates points based on the amount and duration of the lock-up. The more and longer you lock, the higher the points.

• Web3 Task Points and Multipliers: Users must complete project-related on-chain tasks within the Binance wallet (usually interacting with project DApps, bridging assets, etc.). Completing all designated tasks earns a fixed base points reward, plus a multiplier for task completion.

Total Score = (Locked BNB Points × Web3 Task Multiplier) + Web3 Task Reward

5.2 Profit Analysis

The table below estimates the yield of this year's two Megadrop campaigns. Historical data from SOLV and KERNEL show that completing Web3 tasks can increase the final token rewards and APY bonuses. Even without staking BNB, users can still earn a minimum guaranteed income by completing tasks.

VI. Summary — Two Core Strategies to Help Retail Investors Efficiently Mine for Gold

Faced with Binance's diverse profit-generating activities, you can choose a core strategy suitable for yourself based on your capital situation, risk preference, time and energy, and judgment of BNB's value.

6.1 Strategy One: Steadily Hold BNB, But Dislike Accumulating Points

Target Audience: Suitable for users who are bullish on BNB's long-term value and are willing to hold it for the medium to long term, but do not like to spend time and effort accumulating Alpha points.

Main Sources of Profit:

• Launchpool Mining: Stake your held BNB to participate in each new token mining session and receive free token rewards.

• HODLer Airdrops: Deposit BNB into Binance Earn's wealth management products to receive不定期空投不定期空投.

• Megadrop Tasks: Use your held BNB to participate in Megadrop activities, lock up a portion of BNB and complete tasks to obtain pre-launch airdrops.

• BNB Appreciation and Others: In addition to the above "additional income," BNB, as the core asset of the Binance ecosystem, also brings capital gains to holders through its long-term price appreciation. Moreover, holding BNB also entitles you to transaction fee discount benefits.

Combination Reference Path: Deposit the majority of your BNB into the BNB Vault (or simple earn current), so that BNB earns interest daily and can be used for both Launchpool and Megadrop. When Launchpool starts, use the BNB in the Vault to stake directly for mining. Meanwhile, this BNB still counts towards the HODLer snapshot and does not affect subsequent airdrops. When a Megadrop event occurs, transfer a portion of the BNB to a fixed-term deposit (e.g., more than 30 days) to earn more points, while completing all tasks with the BNB wallet. After the event ends and the tokens are received, unlock the BNB back to the Vault. By cycling this operation, a single BNB fund can profit in three ways: earning interest daily + receiving airdrops, mining new coins during Launchpool, and earning extra coins by completing tasks during Megadrop.

6.2 Strategy Two: "Brush" Binance Alpha Points, Hold Little or No BNB

Target Audience: This strategy is suitable for users who have little or no BNB but are willing to actively accumulate points through frequent operations and small capital investments to earn rewards. In other words, the so-called "Alpha points party" aims to obtain airdrops by actively accumulating points for rewards.

Main Sources of Profit:

• Alpha Airdrops: By accumulating high Alpha points, you can meet the eligibility requirements for various project Alpha airdrops and TGEs in advance, with the potential to profit thousands of dollars in a month through airdrops. However, it is necessary to keep an eye on the changing eligibility thresholds, and the returns are uncertain.

• Secondary Market Arbitrage: For some airdropped tokens, if you are bullish on the project, you can choose to hold them for a while and sell them at a higher price after the price rises to earn higher returns.

Expected Costs and Returns: Based on the current market situation, 200 points can basically cover most of the airdrop eligibility requirements in a month, although sometimes the eligibility requirements exceed 200 points. Assuming there are 9-10 airdrops in a month, each worth 60u, the total would be approximately 540-600u in returns, which can cover the cost of accumulating points (around 40u). If you encounter a big opportunity like NXPC, the returns from a single project can soar to over 500u.

6.3 Strategy Three: Have Your Cake and Eat It Too — Hold BNB and Accumulate Alpha Points

For most retail investors, moderately combining the two strategies may be a better choice. For example, use a portion of your funds to hold BNB long-term as a "stabilizer" to enjoy its stable appreciation and basic benefits. Meanwhile, use another portion of your energy to learn and participate in Alpha points-related activities to seek higher returns. Enjoy the ecosystem benefits of holding a certain amount of BNB while using spare funds to accumulate Alpha points for airdrops, taking advantage of both sides.

From Launchpool mining to Megadrop, HODLer airdrops, and the highly anticipated Alpha points system under the Web3 wallet TGE activities and Alpha airdrops, Binance's profit-generating effects continue to evolve, offering opportunities for users with different risk preferences and capital sizes.

However, faced with a constant stream of new activities, many retail investors often feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.

For example, if you buy $600 and then sell $500, the points are still calculated based on the $600 purchase. Starting in May, Binance launched a double points campaign, where purchasing Alpha tokens on the BSC chain or using limit orders to buy Alpha tokens doubles the transaction amount for points calculation, significantly reducing the pressure of accumulating points.

Note: When confirming participation in Alpha activities (such as Alpha airdrops or TGE), Alpha points are immediately consumed.

2.3 Efficient Alpha Points Accumulation Techniques

2.4 Profit Analysis

The table below estimates the historical profits from Binance's TGE new token activities and Alpha airdrops, showing a consistently significant profit effect. For example, the SHELL project had a single-account profit of up to 280u on its launch day, with a historical high of 583u per account; the HYPER project had a single-account profit of 207u on its launch day, with a historical high of 280u; and the PARTI project had a single-account profit of 140u on its launch day. Assuming an account that meets the conditions participated in all the above projects, the total profit calculated based on the launch day price would be approximately 2,933u, and if sold at the historical high, the profit would soar to 5,242u. However, it should be noted that not all projects offer high returns, and the number of airdrops and participation eligibility vary by project.

III. Launchpool: Stable Staking Mining

Binance's Launchpool allows users to stake their held BNB, FDUSD, USDC, and other tokens to "mine" for free tokens of new projects in the form of rewards. This is a relatively stable and easy-to-operate way to earn coins.

3.1 Core Rules and Participation Process

VI. Summary — Two Core Strategies to Help Retail Investors Efficiently Mine for Gold

Faced with Binance's diverse profit-generating activities, you can choose a core strategy suitable for yourself based on your capital situation, risk preference, time and energy, and judgment of BNB's value.
