According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to launch the Block Street Trading Competition on Binance Alpha, offering exclusive token rewards to participants. The competition will run from 2026-05-19 13:00 (UTC) to 2026-05-26 13:00 (UTC). During this period, users can trade Block Street (BSB) tokens via their Binance Wallet (Keyless) or through Binance Alpha to qualify for rewards. Participants will be ranked based on their total purchase volume of BSB tokens, with the top 2,070 users sharing 144,900 BSB tokens equally, equating to 70 BSB per user. The competition introduces the Early Bird Boost Multiplier, which enhances the effective trading volume for users who trade consistently throughout the promotion period. This multiplier rewards earlier trades and consistent participation, thereby boosting a user's base trading volume. The daily effective trading volume is calculated by multiplying the actual trading volume by the Early Bird Boost Multiplier. For instance, trading $10,000 worth of eligible tokens on Day 1 will count as $30,000 towards the ranking, while the same amount traded on Day 7 will count as $10,000. Only trades executed via Binance Wallet (Keyless) or Binance Alpha are eligible for this promotion, with third-party dApp transactions excluded. The competition focuses solely on cumulative purchases, excluding selling activities. There are no volume caps for participants, and token bridging transactions are not eligible. Rewards will be distributed in BSB tokens to eligible users before 2026-06-09 13:00:00 (UTC), with a 14-day claim period. Unclaimed rewards will be forfeited.
