About POOLROW
A site about one thing: the handful of lines in the Binance ecosystem where holding assets or completing quests gets you new tokens — what the rules are, where the thresholds sit, and why people take part and end up with nothing.
What we write about
The mechanics and eligibility rules of four lines: Launchpool, HODLer Airdrops, Megadrop, and Alpha Points with the token generation events attached to them. Plus the groundwork none of them work without — opening an account, verification, account security, cost, and not getting robbed.
The test for whether something is worth writing is plain: will this cause someone to receive less money or spend more? "Flexible BNB does not count towards Megadrop" is written in the rules and almost never explained, and it costs people a whole round every time it happens. That is the kind of thing we are here for.
What we don't write
- No price predictions and no calls. Nothing here will tell you what a token is going to be worth.
- No investment advice. We describe the rules and the costs; the decision is yours.
- No numbers we have not checked. Fee tiers, thresholds and score cut-offs change, so we give ranges with the month we checked and point you at the page that governs.
- No "screenshots from testing" without a screenshot. The images here are captured from publicly accessible pages and the captions carry the month.
About the byline
Articles are signed Xu Chengzhi, which is a pen name rather than a legal name. We do not use it to imply credentials, a job title or a professional background — it exists so you know the content comes from one editorial standard rather than being assembled from anywhere.
We keep no personal social accounts on the site and claim no institutional endorsement. When you need to judge whether something here is trustworthy, look at whether we gave you a source you can check, not at whose name is on it. Wherever we describe a platform rule, we link to Binance's own help page or announcement so you can go and read it.
Where the content comes from
Rules come from the exchange's public help pages, event announcements and fee schedule, checked line by line as we write and dated at the foot of the piece. The tools implement the published rules directly, connect to no interface and read no account, and each tool page says exactly that.
Experiential remarks — "this is the step where people get stuck" — come from actually walking the process. We do not manufacture precise timestamps or amounts for that kind of claim; false precision is less trustworthy than admitted vagueness, not more.
Things will be wrong sometimes. How we handle that is in the editorial policy, and what has been changed is in corrections.
How the site is funded
The site contains Binance referral links. If you register through our code or link we may earn a commission; this does not make you pay more, and it can mean a discount on your trading fees. The detail is in disclosure, and the mechanism itself is explained in referral code and fee discount.
One boundary worth stating flatly: POOLROW is not an exchange, holds no one's funds, is not the official Binance website, and has no affiliation or agency relationship with Binance. It is an independent site that writes about rules.
Getting in touch
Corrections, additions, and anywhere we have got it wrong — all welcome. The address is on contact. New pieces go out on RSS.
Crypto asset prices move sharply, and taking part in launches and airdrops can lose you everything you put in. Everything here is information, not investment advice. Some jurisdictions restrict crypto assets — find out what applies where you live before you act.
