Binance WAL Airdrop: 24-Hour Rush as Thresholds Drop Hourly

Binance Alpha has initiated a new airdrop campaign for Walrus (WAL) tokens, with a structured two-phase distribution process. The first phase requires users to hold at least 210 Binance Alpha Points to claim their allocation, while the second phase lowers the threshold to 195 points on a first-come, first-served basis. The airdrop event, which commenced at 15:00 UTC+8 on a specified date, allocates 150 WAL tokens per claim, with each claim consuming 15 Alpha Points. The distribution spans 24 hours, with the first 18 hours reserved for high-point holders and the final 6 hours allowing broader participation as the threshold decreases by 15 points hourly if rewards remain unclaimed.

The airdrop is part of Binance's ongoing strategy to incentivize user engagement with its Alpha program, which rewards trading and holding activity on the platform. Users accumulate Alpha Points through actions such as trading on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), holding assets, or making small purchases of Alpha-listed tokens. To qualify for the WAL airdrop, participants must maintain consistent activity to retain their points, as each Alpha Point remains valid for 15 days. The structured rollout aims to balance accessibility for both active and casual users, with the first phase prioritizing those with higher engagement levels.

Binance emphasized the importance of monitoring official channels for updates on the specific airdrop timeline and token details. Users are advised to prepare in advance, as the airdrop pool may exhaust quickly during the first-come, first-served phase. Additionally, the exchange highlighted that all airdropped tokens are distributed directly to users' Binance Spot Wallets, eliminating the need for external wallets and reducing barriers for beginners.

The WAL airdrop follows a revised distribution model announced by Binance in June 2025, which introduced a two-phase structure to optimize reward allocation. This approach ensures that users meeting the initial threshold can claim their share without competition, while the dynamic threshold adjustment in the second phase accommodates broader participation. The 15-point decrement mechanism is designed to prevent bottlenecks and ensure equitable distribution, particularly for projects with limited token pools.

Participants must act promptly, as unclaimed rewards after the 24-hour window are forfeited. Binance also noted that the Alpha Points system remains a core component of its ecosystem incentives, encouraging regular trading and asset-holding behaviors. The WAL airdrop exemplifies how Binance leverages its Alpha program to onboard new users and reward existing ones, aligning with its broader goal of fostering engagement with early-stage crypto projects.
