- Binance Alpha launches 2Z airdrop requiring 190 AP, starting October 2, 2025, with hourly decreasing thresholds.

- 2Z, built on Solana, uses Proof of Utility (PoU) for decentralized infrastructure and network operations.

- Airdrop aims to distribute 35M tokens via dynamic thresholds, mirroring Binance’s prior models to prevent centralization.

- Analysts predict 2Z’s short-term $0.05–$0.10 range, rising to $0.20–$0.30 mid-term, with long-term $1+ potential if adoption aligns.

- Concurrent Openverse (BTG) listing on same date highlights Binance Alpha’s role in testing protocols, though may dilute user focus.

Binance

Alpha
has announced a new airdrop for the DoubleZero (2Z) token, with a minimum eligibility
threshold
of 190 Binance Alpha Points (AP). The airdrop will begin on October 2, 2025, at 20:00 UTC+8, coinciding with the listing of 2Z on the platform. Users meeting the threshold will receive 400 2Z tokens on a first-come, first-served basis, with the minimum AP requirement decreasing by 15 points hourly until the event concludesPANews, (https://www.panewslab.com/en/articles/806675fb-100d-4d57-9387-48c2609b1189)[1]. Each claim costs 15 AP, and unclaimed tokens will be forfeited if

redeemed within 24 hoursPANews, (https://www.panewslab.com/en/articles/806675fb-100d-4d57-9387-48c2609b1189)[1].

The airdrop aligns with Binance Alpha's broader strategy to incentivize participation in emerging blockchain projects. DoubleZero (2Z) is positioned as a decentralized infrastructure solution for high-performance distributed systems, leveraging a "Proof of Utility" (PoU) mechanism to reward contributorsChainplay.gg, (https://chainplay.gg/blog/binance-alpha-airdrops-for-doublezero-and-openverse-network-oct-2/)[3]. The token is built on

Solana
and serves as a utility token for network operations, including resource payments, security, and future staking functionalitiesChainplay.gg, (https://chainplay.gg/blog/binance-alpha-airdrops-for-doublezero-and-openverse-network-oct-2/)[3].

Key details of the airdrop include a dynamic eligibility structure to manage demand. The initial 190 AP threshold ensures only active participants with sufficient engagement on Binance Alpha can claim tokens, while the hourly reduction aims to distribute the 35 million airdropped 2Z tokens efficientlyPANews, (https://www.panewslab.com/en/articles/806675fb-100d-4d57-9387-48c2609b1189)[1]. This approach mirrors Binance's previous airdrop models, which prioritize early adopters while mitigating centralization risksPANews, (https://www.panewslab.com/en/articles/806675fb-100d-4d57-9387-48c2609b1189)[1].

Analysts have provided short- to long-term price projections for 2Z based on its tokenomics and adoption potential. Short-term estimates suggest a trading range of $0.05–$0.10 post-launch, driven by initial liquidity and speculative demandCoingabbar, (https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/doublezero-airdrop-binance-alpha-2z-token-launch)[2]. Medium-term forecasts anticipate a rise to $0.20–$0.30 as validator participation and network usage expandCoingabbar, (https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/doublezero-airdrop-binance-alpha-2z-token-launch)[2]. Long-term predictions, however, remain speculative, with some experts projecting $1+ during the next bull cycle if token burns and adoption align with expectationsCoingabbar, (https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/doublezero-airdrop-binance-alpha-2z-token-launch)[2].

The airdrop coincides with Binance Alpha's listing of another project, Openverse Network (BTG), on the same date, creating competition for user attention and AP allocationChainplay.gg, (https://chainplay.gg/blog/binance-alpha-airdrops-for-doublezero-and-openverse-network-oct-2/)[3]. While both projects aim to address blockchain infrastructure challenges, DoubleZero's focus on low-latency communication for validators and nodes distinguishes it from Openverse's cross-chain interoperability goalsChainplay.gg, (https://chainplay.gg/blog/binance-alpha-airdrops-for-doublezero-and-openverse-network-oct-2/)[3]. This dual-launch strategy highlights Binance Alpha's role as a testing ground for innovative protocols, though it may dilute user engagement for individual projectsCoingabbar, (https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/doublezero-airdrop-binance-alpha-2z-token-launch)[2].

Binance Alpha's airdrop mechanics reflect a broader trend in the crypto ecosystem of using gamified incentives to drive adoption. The 15 AP cost per claim and 24-hour redemption window are designed to prevent bot activity while rewarding proactive participationPANews, (https://www.panewslab.com/en/articles/806675fb-100d-4d57-9387-48c2609b1189)[1]. Additionally, the event underscores Binance's commitment to fostering new projects, as evidenced by its concurrent listing of 2Z perpetual futures contracts on October 2 at 12:30 UTCChainplay.gg, (https://chainplay.gg/blog/binance-alpha-airdrops-for-doublezero-and-openverse-network-oct-2/)[3].
