According to official news, Binance has released comprehensive information on the listing process. With this information, the previous rumors that Alpha would be shutting down have been dispelled.
Binance follows a structured listing process in three phases: Binance Alpha, Binance Contracts, and Binance Spot.
First, Binance Alpha is a token screening platform before spot listing, dedicated to discovering potential early cryptocurrency projects in the Web3 ecosystem, providing token distribution opportunities such as Pre-TGE, Prime Sale Pre-TGE, Token Generation Event (TGE), Alpha airdrops, and Booster community engagement programs, helping projects build momentum before officially listing. Then comes the contracts and spot.
However, it is also emphasized that in very rare cases, projects that meet the necessary criteria may go directly to spot listing, unlocking full market access and liquidity without needing to go through the Alpha or contract phases first.
