Choosing Alpha coins in the BSC ecosystem, to be honest, is similar to taking a civil service exam.

First, you need to study the "preferences" of the "leaders"—look at which coins they have historically endorsed, and find patterns; secondly, you need to observe the market trends—what concepts are currently being hyped, and which sectors have cooled down; finally, you have to read people's minds—why choose this one over that one, and what the other party can gain from it.

Based on comprehensive observation, the coins that can currently enter Alpha roughly fall into three categories:

**First category: "State-owned enterprise background"**—the kind repeatedly mentioned by senior exchange executives, similar to some projects that performed strongly in the last round. These coins often have strong support in a broad direction and are more likely to attract traffic.

The other two categories will be analyzed another day. It feels like this approach to selecting coins still makes some sense.
