Orochi's Zero-Knowledge Tech Aims to Solve Blockchain Trust Gaps via Binance Airdrop

Binance Alpha, the cryptocurrency exchange's pre-listing platform, is set to debut Orochi Network (ON) on October 24, 2025, alongside a token airdrop campaign for eligible users, according to a Chainplay blog post. The project, which positions itself as a verifiable data infrastructure for real-world assets (RWA) and AI-driven applications, will launch on the platform at 08:00 UTC, followed by the ONUSDT perpetual futures contract at 08:30 UTC, per Chainplay. To participate in the airdrop, users must accumulate at least 220 Binance Alpha Points, with claims processed on a first-come, first-served basis, according to a Lookonchain post.

The airdrop, which mirrors strategies used in previous campaigns like the Turtle and Merlin Chain airdrops, requires users to log into their Binance Alpha accounts and claim tokens within 24 hours of the event's start, Chainplay notes. A 15 Alpha Point fee will be deducted per claim, with unclaimed tokens forfeited after the deadline, Chainplay adds. Binance has not disclosed the exact airdrop rewards, but historical patterns suggest allocations could range between 200–240 points for eligibility, as seen in past campaigns. The ONUSDT futures contract will offer 50x leverage and support for multi-asset trading, with the contract expected to join Binance's Futures Copy Trading feature after 24 hours, according to Chainplay.

Orochi Network's technology is built on a hybrid of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), and trusted execution environments (TEE), enabling secure data processing and verification without compromising privacy, Chainplay explains. The platform's verifiable data infrastructure (VDI) is designed to address scalability and trust challenges in blockchain ecosystems, with applications spanning DeFi, cross-chain interoperability, and RWA tokenization, according to Chainplay. The project has raised $20 million in funding, including $8 million in its latest round, and has attracted partnerships with over 40 blockchains, per a CoinGabbar report.

The launch on Binance Alpha marks a strategic milestone for Orochi, following similar airdrop campaigns for projects like Apro Oracle (AT) and Meteora (MET), which required 226 Alpha Points for early claims, Lookonchain previously noted. Binance's Alpha platform has become a key incubator for high-potential Web3 projects, offering early access to tokens before broader market listings. Analysts note that Orochi's focus on cryptographic trust and AI integration could position it as a competitor to projects like Apro Oracle, which also launched on October 24, according to CoinGabbar.

Market sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with ON's price projected to start between $0.03–$0.05, driven by its 315,000+ prover community and 1 billion total token supply, CoinGabbar reports. Short-term targets of $0.06–$0.07 hinge on early liquidity and airdrop participation, while mid-term forecasts suggest potential for $0.07–$0.10 if adoption accelerates, CoinGabbar adds. However, Binance has reiterated that Alpha assets carry high volatility and are non-withdrawable, emphasizing risks such as price slippage and blockchain fees, according to a Coinfomania article.

Orochi's integration with Binance Alpha and Futures underscores the exchange's role in promoting technically robust projects. The platform's 21.8 billion-dollar market cap for listed Alpha assets highlights investor appetite for pre-launch opportunities, though users are advised to verify all information through official channels to avoid scams, Coinfomania cautions.
