The cryptocurrency exchange, Binance introduced an early access incentive and rewards program with quests and airdrops for web3 users.
According to a Binance blog post, the new initiative, dubbed “Megadrop,” is a platform for token launches where users “can subscribe BNB to Locked Products and/or complete tasks in their Web3 Wallet for early access to rewards from selected Web3 projects before their tokens are listed on the Binance Exchange.”
Megadrop will essentially operate as a rewards and loyalty program with incentives to join. Before projects are launched on the platform, users who register for an account will have the chance to stake Binance’s BNB cryptocurrency.
Quests will also be available to users. Although the blog post didn’t say exactly how the quests would operate, they will likely require completing engagement chores like subscribing to mailing lists or watching instructional films about web3 goods.
Although there are other similar services in the market, such as Coinbase Earn, Binance’s Megadrop seems to stand out from the crowd with a few significant distinctions.
Unlike other learn-to-earn and staking services, which are usually sporadic or one-time events, Binance is encouraging consumers to participate over the long term by providing an early access platform.
The blog post claims that users who take part in more events and for longer periods would receive bigger Megadrop rewards, “Longer subscriptions yield higher scores. … Users will receive a Web3 Quest Bonus and a Web3 Quest Multiplier when they complete all the designated Web3 Quests with the minimum requirements specified.”
The debut of the new platform coincides with the company’s transition, having settled a plea agreement with the U.S. government in which Changpeng (CZ) Zhao, the company’s former CEO, admitted to breaking anti-money laundering rules and paid $4.3 billion in fines and restitution.
