Binance Alpha points airdrop has once again become the focus of the crypto community. In the past 24 hours, Binance has continuously announced several major events: on December 18, it will launch two popular projects, VOOI and AgentLISA (LISA), and eligible users can claim airdrops using points on the Alpha activity page after trading starts; followed closely by the launch of zkPass (ZKP) on the 19th, which also supports point airdrop claims. Specific thresholds and reward details will be further announced by the official, but it is expected to continue with a first-come, first-served mechanism.
This wave of dense announcements has sparked heated discussions in the community, with many users expressing that “sticking to earning points has finally led to a big gift pack.” Recently, the rules for the Alpha airdrop have been optimized, such as the introduction of a point decrement mode (starting from 30 points, decreasing by 1 point per minute down to a minimum of 10 points), aiming to benefit small and medium users more fairly, avoiding monopolization by larger holders. With the year-end market warming up, the Alpha points system is attracting more funds into the Binance Web3 wallet ecosystem.
For participants, maintaining a stable rolling point balance over 15 days is key. It is recommended to stay updated through Binance's official channels and prepare points in advance to avoid missing out on this year-end airdrop bonus. Opportunities in the crypto world change rapidly; persistence in the market is the way to go!

Ethereum is expected to raise the gas limit to 80 million in January 2026

On December 18, according to Cointelegraph, the throughput of the Ethereum network will be further enhanced next month, as developers plan to increase the gas limit from 60 million to 80 million in January. Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy Digital, shared a summary of the core developers' meeting on Monday, where a representative from Nethermind stated that developers should be prepared to advance the gas limit increase after the next BPO hard fork on January 7. However, Barnabas Busa, a developer operations engineer at the Ethereum Foundation, pointed out that before further raising the block gas limit, two client-side optimizations need to be completed, namely the execution layer's Blob response and the consensus layer's maximum Blob flag setting. All participants of the core Ethereum developers' meeting will gather again on January 5 to confirm when to raise the gas limit after the second BPO hard fork. The first BPO hard fork took place on December 9, increasing blob capacity by 66%; the second hard fork scheduled for January 7 is expected to increase it by another 66%. Ethereum developers and members of the research community have reached a consensus with the goal of raising the network's gas limit to 180 million by the end of 2026.
