Launchpool, Megadrop, HODLer, Alpha points — four kinds of airdrops, each with its own approach. We work out whether each round is worth your time, then show you how to spot a fake at a glance.
Binance has more than one way to hand out free tokens, and they differ in what they cost you, which coins get locked, and how much time they eat. Work out how much BNB you're holding and how much time you can give first, then decide which one to chase this round — don't throw yourself at all of them.
Put BNB or FDUSD into a pool and earn a share of the new token — your principal stays put and it costs nothing to join. But the coin can list below its price, so weigh up whether the round is worth it.
How to mine → 02Lock some BNB, then do a few Web3 tasks to earn points, and the new token is split by points. We walk you through how long to lock and which tasks actually pay off.
How to work it out → 03No advance notice — if your BNB is sitting in Flexible or Locked Savings at the snapshot, you qualify. So the trick is staying set up all the time; here's how to arrange it so you don't miss one.
How to stay ready → 04You earn points daily from your balance and trading volume, then claim the new token once you clear the threshold. The rules change often and points roll off over time — here's how to hit the line at the lowest cost.
How to farm →Which of the four fits your capital and the time you can spend? The decision helper narrows it down so you're not joining blind.
How much BNB to hold, Flexible or Locked Savings, whether to finish KYC first — set it all up ahead of time.
Use the yield estimator to get a rough figure, subtract the opportunity cost of locking, then decide whether to join.
What to do once it lands, whether to sell if it drops below listing, and how to spot a fake airdrop along the way at a glance.
Enter your stake, the total pool size, the daily release and how many days you'll take part, and get a rough idea of how much of the new token you'd earn this round. You fill in the numbers; the result is an estimate only — go by Binance's official page for the real figures.

04Don't panic. Run through these points first.
05A real airdrop never asks you to "pay gas to unlock" it first.
