Key Takeaways

The vast majority of Alpha airdrops still enforce a threshold of 200-237 points, with each valued at roughly $100, making it possible to earn between $600-900 per address monthly 15 22 23.
Measures such as BSC’s double points, a 4x bonus for limit orders, and zero gas fees on centralized exchanges allow a capital of $1000-1050 to earn 14-17 points daily, sufficiently covering airdrop requirements with losses kept to under $5/day 14 20 43 44.
With the ecosystem's trading volume dropping 22% over the past week and competition intensifying, the diminishing returns of blind grinding mean that a more refined strategy and point management are necessary 6 18 22 30.

Earnings: Airdrop Frequency and Returns

Official announcements have consecutively unveiled first drops and airdrops for tokens like OVL, PUBLIC, SOON, NXPC, and WILD, indicating that the rewards pipeline remains active 1 2 40 41 23.

According to CoinMarketCap, recent airdrop thresholds are concentrated between 200-237 points, with each drop consuming 15 points 22; PANews and several key opinion leaders (KOLs) have recorded monthly earnings per address ranging from $600 to $1200 15 28 34.

The rules remain unchanged: scores are derived from balances and trading volumes, but acquisitions on the BSC network count for double, and from 22 July 2025 limit orders on BSC benefit from a 4x multiplier, effectively equating to 8x the real trading volume 14 43.

In practice: a 3000 USDC round-trip over 5 minutes can generate 33k in trading volume with a loss of only $0.076 32; 17 swaps costing less than $2 can achieve 16k in volume 36.

Alpha 2.0 integrates centralized exchange wallets and offers six months of zero gas fees, further reducing costs 44.

With the Alpha ecosystem's market cap at $180 billion and a 22% weekly drop in volume, users are becoming more selective, pushing the value of some airdrops lower 22.

Official advice is to "avoid blindly grinding for points" 6; each airdrop/TGE deducts 15 points, and consecutive claims might lead to gaps, so low-value airdrops should be skipped to save points 24 37.

It's still worth participating: Ensure a daily accumulation of 14-17 points, rolling over 210-255 points in 15 days, which can secure 3-4 rounds of quality airdrops monthly 20 37.

Key operational points:
- With $1050 capital, prioritise the BSC Alpha token combined with limit orders;
- Schedule your point-grinding during post-midnight low fee blocks (World Coordinated Time 00:00 onwards);
- Prioritise first drops and high-profile project airdrops; skip lower-value ones to conserve points 24 37.

Risk management: Be mindful of trading slippage, project quality, rule changes, and account compliance. Avoid excessive borrowing or operating multiple accounts.
