Binance Alpha Launches Points System to Evaluate TGE and Airdrop Participation Eligibility
Binance Alpha has launched a points system, currently accessible by searching "Alpha Points" within Binance. The page indicates that Binance Alpha points are a scoring system used to assess user activity within the Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet ecosystems, determining eligibility for events such as Token Generation Events (TGE) and Alpha token airdrops.
