Let's start with the conclusion:
Now brushing Alpha, for friends with conditions, I suggest preparing around 11200U for funding allocation. Below is my own real trading thought process, sharing only the thought process, not constituting investment advice.
1. How to allocate funds? My 11200U plan
10000U used to buy financial products (main position)
The ones I choose are relatively stable financial products within Binance, the logic is very simple:
As long as Binance doesn't collapse, I basically don't lose.
Products like this not only have normal annualized returns, but sometimes also add extra airdrop rewards, which is much more cost-effective than putting money on other platforms casually.
1100U is used to boost trading volume
Use this 1100U for trading volume, capping at 66000U daily trading volume, just corresponding to 16 points trading volume points.
I derived this from Alpha's rules: as long as you stabilize and fill this trading volume daily, points will be relatively stable.
The remaining 100U reserved for transaction fees & slippage wear
Mainly used as a 'buffer' for transaction fees and spread losses, 100U is completely sufficient.
Two, why is it 19 points/day? How to accumulate points?
The above configuration can theoretically achieve:
Trading volume points: 16 points/day
Balance points: 3 points/day (10,000 U wealth management position)
Totaling 19 points/day.
Calculating based on 15 days:
19 points × 15 days = 285 points
With the current airdrop standards, 230–245 range can get a round of airdrop,
In other words: easily eating airdrops 5–6 times a month, the rhythm is completely manageable.
Three, a few feelings about the whitelist & airdrop grabbing mechanism 🤔
I and friends have compared and grabbed many rounds, having a very intuitive feeling:
Account with 10,000 U position:
The speed of accessing the airdrop page and the probability of grabbing are relatively 'smooth';
About 1,000 U small account:
It's easy to get prompts like 'frequent operations' and 'can't grab', the experience is extremely poor.
I personally suspect (purely based on feeling):
It may be a 'Tian Ji horse racing' type of competition among the same point segments:
3 points and 3 points抢 (compete) together,
2 points and 2 points mutually compete,
1 point naturally feels like 'why is it always frequent/seconds'.
At the same time, Binance should also be screening long-term users and short-term opportunists, so this 10,000 U tier will be much more comfortable.
Four, let's do a simple calculation: is it worth it? 🧮
Currently, my average 'wear and tear cost' is about 3U per day (transaction fees + spread fluctuations).
For each airdrop, I only expect returns of 80–100U.
Eating airdrops 5–6 times a month, net profit is about 400–500U.
In my opinion, the risk-reward ratio is very appealing:
Positions are mainly placed in relatively stable wealth management products;
The volume is done with a small portion of funds;
As long as you control the rhythm and frequency well, Alpha still has profits to be made.
Five, a word for friends with less than 11200U 📉➡️📈
If you can't gather 11200U for now, my advice is:
If possible, try to raise the capital tier as much as you can;
If I can't withdraw, I still have to hold on and stabilize my position.
Get through Alpha's 'cold winter', and once this batch of short-term speculative funds exits, I believe Binance will likely provide some compensation/dividend to small fund users (like suitable activities for the 1000U tier).
The above is my current asset allocation + point accumulation thinking + real trading profit sharing on Binance Alpha.
Feel free to share your current points and capital in the comments, let's see if everyone's gameplay is similar, and also welcome to exchange more creative configuration ideas. 🚀
