Snapshot eligibility check

The hard part about HODLer airdrops is that failing the conditions produces no error. Nothing on screen looks wrong. You simply are not on the list at the end. This walks the five decisions in order and tells you which rule settled it.

What this is based on, and what it cannot decide

What it is for

HODLer airdrops fail silently. There is no warning that your BNB is in the wrong product, no flag that part of it is pledged as collateral, no message when a region is excluded. You find out by not receiving anything. This walks the published conditions in the order they actually bite.

How it decides

Five questions, evaluated as a chain rather than a score. Verification and regional exclusion are checked first because they override everything else. Then where the assets sit, then whether they are free, then how long they have been there. The first condition that fails is the one reported, because that is the one you have to fix.

Where the rules come from

Binance's public HODLer Airdrops documentation and the per-round announcements, read in August 2026. The one people miss most often is written into the help text explicitly: BNB in Simple Earn that is being used as collateral for a flexible-rate loan does not earn HODLer airdrop rewards. Your account balance looks entirely normal in that state.

What it cannot tell you

Whether the round will actually pay you anything worth having, what the per-round exclusion list says, and whether the assets in a Launchpool count for a concurrent snapshot — the wording on that has differed between rounds, so the honest answer is to read the announcement in front of you.

What it does not do

It does not connect to anything. Your answers stay in the page, are never transmitted, and disappear when you close the tab. There is no account access, no login and no stored state.

What to read next

The rules in full are in how snapshots are taken; what to do when a distribution passes you by is in when a claim fails; and where to keep BNB so it counts is in where to keep your BNB.
