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 working name, not the one on anyone's documents. It is not there to suggest qualifications, a title or a career behind the writing — 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 calculators follow Binance's published rules directly, run entirely in your own browser, fetch nothing from Binance and never read your account, and each tool page says exactly that.
Remarks like "this is the step where people get stuck" rest on the conditions and limits written into the published rules, not on personal experience. 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
Some Binance links here carry our referral parameter. Open an account through one, or with our code typed in, and part of the fees you later pay the platform is routed to us; none of it is added to your side, and your rate may in fact come out lower. 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. What you get here is information; it is not advice on what to buy. A good many places restrict crypto assets outright, so settle that question for your own location first.
