Binance Alpha has raised the threshold for participation in its airdrop campaigns, with recent minimum point requirements reaching 225 for the AB token and 233 for the Open Loot (OL) token. Eligible users can claim 9,882 AB tokens valued at approximately $80 starting June 7, 2025, and 1,836 OL tokens valued at around $82 starting June 8, 2025. The increased point thresholds reflect intensified user competition, requiring higher trading volumes—estimated at around $32,000—to qualify. Binance has also introduced trading competitions with rewards totaling about $1 million for AB and $800,000 for OL tokens, emphasizing cumulative purchases only. Users have noted significantly reduced transaction fees, particularly with the $KOGE token, due to Binance Wallet routing trades through Uniswap V4 pools, lowering costs to as little as $0.2 per trade. However, some users have experienced losses from MEV (Miner Extractable Value) attacks, including one incident where a user lost $47,000 due to a manipulated $KOGE trade. Binance and community experts advise enabling MEV protection and controlling slippage to mitigate such risks. The growing complexity and competitiveness of Binance Alpha's ecosystem have led users to adopt advanced strategies and tools to optimize point accumulation and minimize trading costs.
