Unlike programs that require active participation during a specific window, the HODLer Airdrop model rewards users automatically based on past qualifying activity — making it one of the most passive earning mechanisms available on the platform.Binance takes multiple snapshots of user balances at random points each hour to calculate average holdings. Users do not need to take any action after subscribing their BNB to qualifying products — eligibility and reward calculation happen automatically in the background.To participate in future HODLer Airdrops, users can subscribe BNB to Simple Earn or On-Chain Yields products through the Binance Earn page at any time. Subscribed BNB automatically qualifies for HODLer Airdrops, Launchpool rewards, and Megadrop rewards simultaneously.
