The airdrop of 15,000,000 OPEN tokens scheduled for March 2026 is the second phase of the OpenLedger distribution program and seeks to reward the community and key holders.
1. The Precedent (September 2025 Airdrop)
The first airdrop of 10 million OPEN established the mechanism that will likely be repeated in March 2026:
Program: It was a distribution through Binance's "HODLer Airdrops" initiative.
Key Requirement: Tokens were distributed to users who held BNB subscribed in Simple Earn products (Flexible or Locked) or in Binance's on-chain yield products.
Mechanism: Eligibility was determined by a snapshot of BNB balances taken during a specific period (August 18 to 21, 2025).
2. Prerequisites for March 2026
Since the 15 million OPEN program is a direct continuation (scheduled for six months later) and Binance sources link it to the holders, the prerequisites are:
Expectation Criteria for March 2026Investor RecommendationRequired CurrencyBNB (Binance Coin).It is almost certain that BNB should be held on Binance.Location of BNB Binance Simple Earn (flexible or locked products).To ensure eligibility, keeping BNB locked or in Simple Earn is usually the safest method, as this demonstrates a long-term commitment ("HODLing").SnapshotSpecific dates to be announced.OpenLedger or Binance will announce the exact dates for the snapshot a few weeks before distribution. These dates are crucial for qualification.ObjectiveReward the "early supporters" and "active BNB holders."The amount of OPEN each user receives will scale based on the amount of BNB they have subscribed during the snapshot period.
3. The Difference with Network Development
It is important to highlight that while the first phase focused on capitalization and the list (rewarding BNB holders on Binance), the second phase could include additional incentives for on-chain activity on the OpenLedger network itself (e.g., staking of $OPEN , interaction with the Datanets or ModelFactory).
Dilution Risk: The 15 million OPEN will add to the monthly unlocks, which will exert downward pressure in March if beneficiaries decide to sell the token immediately.
Monitoring Recommendation: Investors and airdrop hunters should keep BNB in Binance's eligible products and pay attention to official announcements from Binance and OpenLedger for the exact snapshot dates that will confirm their eligibility in the first quarter of 2026.
