#Binance Alpha空投活动 Looking back at Binance's airdrop history, this Alpha project airdrop event reminds me of EOS in 2017 and UNI in 2020. At that time, the threshold was much lower, and almost everyone could participate. Today, the 252-point threshold has filtered out most retail investors. This change reflects the maturity of the market and the strategic adjustment of the project side.
From the timeline, Binance chose to open applications at 16:00, which is very particular. It avoided the peak of Asian trading hours, but before the European market opened. This global thinking is the magic weapon that Binance has always been a winning weapon.
The most interesting thing is the mechanism that lowers the threshold of 5 points every 5 minutes. It reminds me of Dutch auctions, which guarantee the interests of early supporters while maximizing distribution efficiency. However, the 24-hour confirmation period is also worth being wary of, and many projects missed the opportunity because users forgot to confirm that year.
Overall, this airdrop event reflects several trends in the current crypto market: 1) project team is more focused on long-term users; 2) Airdrop strategies are becoming increasingly refined; 3) Global layout has become standard. For those of us who have experienced multiple bulls and bears, it is important to think outside the perspective of a single project and think about every opportunity and challenge from the perspective of the development of the entire industry.
