The rules of Binance Alpha have just undergone an epic update. If you still view this change with an old perspective, you may very well 'lose money by strength.' This is not just an adjustment of rules, but a reconstruction of the underlying game logic.
Let's peel back the surface and see what this **'decreasing penalty'** model has really changed.
🔄 Core changes summarized
Old rules (threshold system): Only those holding high scores (like 240 points) are qualified. The threshold drops every 5 minutes. It’s about *'asset thickness'*.
New rules (auction system): You start by losing 30 points (in the 1st minute), then it decreases by 1 point every minute, with a minimum of 10 points. It’s about *'decision speed' and 'valuation calculation'*.
⚠️ Four major deep impacts (related to your wallet)
1️⃣ “Whales” no longer win effortlessly, “multi-number parties” welcome spring 🐜
Under the old rules, the threshold of hundreds of points blocked small players. Under the new rules, the starting consumption only requires 30 points, or even a bottom price of 10 points. This means: high points on odd numbers are not as good as low points on multiple numbers.
* Strategy shift: In the past, not only did you need to score high on odd numbers, but now as long as there are more numbers, each number can have a lower score to participate in multiple games. Alpha may officially enter the “decentralized” multi-number era.
2️⃣ Nash Equilibrium fails: Speedy version of the “Prisoner's Dilemma” ⏳
Under the old rules, there was a drop every 5 minutes, giving everyone time to observe. The new rules drop 1 point every 1 minute, speeding up by 5 times!
* Psychological warfare: Reason tells us, “Wait until it’s 10 points to get the best deal.” But the reality is, as long as someone acts at 30 points, your panic will be instantly triggered.
* Result: As long as a project is slightly popular, the vast majority of people will “go crazy” in the high range of 20-30 points, leading to an exponential increase in the speed of point deflation.
3️⃣ The brutal calculation of ROI (Return on Investment) 🧮
This is the most challenging aspect of human nature.
* Cost side: 30 points is a real cash consumption.
* Earnings side: The value of airdrop tokens is unknown.
* Risk: Just like you're worried, if you spend 30 points (high cost) to grab a token, and the project team crashes it at launch, only worth 20U, then that's pure loss!
* Conclusion: The era of blindly抢首发 is over; the current Alpha is a pricing game in the primary market. If you can't accurately calculate the value of points, you're just giving away free kills.
4️⃣ “Double Eat” has become a necessary lesson for becoming an expert 🥩
Although the new rules are harsh, volatility has brought opportunities. For players with fast hands and excess points, using the high threshold in the first minute to filter out hesitant people, the dual strategy of **“high position抢一波, low position扫尾货”** will become the norm. If you can eat more in a day, don't hold back!
💡 Final note: What should we do?
This change essentially turns points into **“Gas化”**. An An is accelerating the consumption of points while forcing everyone to be active.
My suggestion:
* Scoring strategy change: Avoid excessive accumulation of odd-numbered scores.
* Keep an eye on the heat: Not all projects are worth抢30分, learn to evaluate projects.
* Reject FOMO: If the math doesn't add up, it's better to miss out than to incur a loss.
🤔 Soul-searching question:
If it were you, facing an unknown airdrop, would you choose to rush in at 30 points immediately, or gamble that it can drop to 10 points to pick up the scraps?
