According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to launch a Sahara AI (SAHARA) Trading Tournament, offering eligible users the chance to share a prize pool of 4,000,000 SAHARA in token vouchers. The promotion period is scheduled from 2026-03-18 07:00 (UTC) to 2026-03-25 07:00 (UTC). Eligibility for participation includes all verified new, regular users, and Binance VIP users, while liquidity providers in the Binance Spot Liquidity Provider Program and Binance Brokers are excluded.
Participants can trade using the eligible altcoin trading pairs, SAHARA/USDT and SAHARA/USDC, and must achieve a cumulative trading volume of at least 500 USD equivalent during the promotion period to qualify for rewards. The reward structure is based on cumulative trading volume, with the top 200 participants sharing 1,600,000 SAHARA, and those ranked 201st to 5,000th sharing 2,400,000 SAHARA. Token vouchers will be distributed by 2026-04-08 and must be redeemed within 21 days.
The tournament rules specify that trading volume from zero-fee pairs and transaction fees are excluded from the final calculation. The leaderboard, updated daily, will display only those who meet the minimum trading volume threshold. Binance reserves the right to disqualify participants for dishonest behavior, such as wash trading or market manipulation. The campaign's operation is contingent upon the successful listing of the relevant token on Binance Spot, and any changes to the listing may affect the promotion period and reward distribution. Binance retains the discretion to amend the terms and conditions of the tournament without prior notice.
