Binance users earned HYPER tokens by subscribing BNB to Simple Earn and On-Chain Yields between April 14 and 17, 2025

The airdrop rewarded users with a portion of 20 million HYPER tokens, credited before the token’s listing on April 22
Many Binance users recently saw HYPER tokens appear in their wallets, without needing to trade or register, thanks to the platform’s HODLer Airdrops program.
This passive reward system benefits users simply for holding and staking BNB, and the latest project to join the list is Hyperlane, an interoperability protocol focused on enabling cross-chain communication between blockchains.
The airdrop was tied to user activity between April 14 and April 17, 2025, during which Binance recorded hourly snapshots of BNB balances subscribed to Simple Earn and On-Chain Yields. Users meeting the requirements automatically received a share of 20 million HYPER tokens, which were distributed ahead of the token’s listing on April 22, 2025.

How HODLer Airdrops Reward BNB Holders
The concept behind Binance’s HODLer Airdrops is simple: reward long-term BNB holders who actively use the platform’s earning products. Unlike launchpools or staking events that require active participation, this system works in the background. By subscribing BNB to eligible products, users are automatically included in future reward distributions.
For Hyperlane, Binance calculated each user’s average BNB balance during the snapshot period and applied a fair distribution cap, limiting each individual to a maximum of 4 percent of the total airdrop. The process required no additional action from users, and tokens were credited to spot wallets before trading began.
To make sure you’re eligible for similar future rewards, subscribe your BNB to Binance Earn or On-Chain Yields.

What Is Binance HODLer Airdrops
The Binance HODLer Airdrops program is a passive reward mechanism designed to benefit users who consistently hold and stake BNB on the platform. By subscribing BNB to Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked) or On-Chain Yields, users automatically qualify for token distributions tied to new project launches.
Unlike traditional airdrops that may require claiming, form submissions, or on-chain interactions, HODLer Airdrops are distributed based on historical balance snapshots. Binance records users’ average BNB holdings during a defined period and allocates new tokens proportionally. Caps are often set to prevent whales from dominating the distribution and to ensure fair access across the user base.
Why Hyperlane Was Chosen for Airdrops
Hyperlane is a Layer 1 interoperability solution that facilitates communication between blockchains through permissionless message passing. The project has already integrated with over 150 networks and supports multiple virtual machine environments, such as Ethereum, Cosmos, and Solana-based chains.
Its native token, HYPER, is used for securing the protocol through staking and for governance. The network features modular security that allows developers to tailor how cross-chain messages are validated. Hyperlane has attracted widespread adoption, with over 9 million messages processed and more than 6.2 billion dollars bridged across chains as of early 2025.
