Alpha Points simulator

Built on the published rules: balance points step by tier, volume points add one per doubling, and every point expires 15 days after it is earned. Two numbers in, and you can see what you accumulate daily and where it settles if you keep going.

Value tier of eligible holdings (US dollar equivalent)

Only crossing a tier boundary adds a point; adding funds inside a band changes nothing. Price moves can drop you a tier, so leave headroom if you are sitting near an edge.

Counted as the day's cumulative purchase value, not the number of orders. The asset you pay with has to be one already listed on Binance spot for the volume to count.

The cut-off is set each round by supply and by how many people turn up; it is not fixed. Figures reported publicly have sat somewhere between 240 and 260.

Keep this up for a full 15 days and the rolling total lands near 180 points.

How to use this and how to read the numbers

What it is for

The two kinds of Alpha Points run on completely different arithmetic. Balance points step by tier; volume points grow logarithmically. Mental estimates go wrong quickly, particularly for the question people actually care about — "how many more points do I get if I double what I spend?" This puts both rules in one place so you can see the daily output and the 15-day ceiling directly.

How to use it

Pick the value tier of your eligible holdings, enter what you plan to buy each day, and set a target score. Calculate gives you the daily score, the split between balance and volume points, the rolling total you would reach by sustaining that pace, and how many days that target takes at your current rate.

What the arithmetic does

Balance points follow the published bands: 100–999 gives 1, 1,000–9,999 gives 2, 10,000–99,999 gives 3, and 100,000 or more gives 4. Volume points start at 1 for 2 US dollars equivalent, and each doubling of spend adds one more. One prerequisite is implemented as well: when the day's balance points are zero, volume points do not count — a rule in force since October 2025 that older write-ups are missing.

Where the rules come from

The published Binance Alpha Points documentation, read in August 2026. Nothing here connects to an interface and nothing reads your account — every figure is one you typed, the calculation happens in your browser, and closing the page discards it. The tool will not follow a rule change automatically, so treat the current Binance page as authoritative.

What the 15-day ceiling means

Points are not a deposit. Each one expires 15 days after it is earned. Sustain the same pace and your total climbs to an equilibrium around day 15 and then stops — that equilibrium is simply the daily score times fifteen. Going higher means raising the daily score; time alone will not do it.

Who this is for

People planning to take part in an Alpha TGE who want a cost and timeline estimate before committing. If you only do Launchpool or HODLer airdrops, this is not your tool — neither of those lines looks at points.
