Stake BNB in fixed staking

Users can lock up their BNB for a period of time that can vary between 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. The APY is the highest for the 120-day staking option which means an important difference e in user returns.

When users stake via Megadrop, they can earn points that contribute tot he overall reward potential for specific projects.

Binance recommends choosing the longest available staking period.

Complete tasks

Binance Megadrop brings interactive tasks called Web3 quests that allow user engagement with multiple projects via the Binance Web3 Wallet.

These tasks trigger enhanced user interaction with emerging Web3 technologies, and they are important for accumulating points leading to rewards.

Tasks can involve staking tokens and swapping crypto, for instance. The number of points warded for a quest depends on the complexity of the task.

Completing Web3 quests adds points to the score, and it multiplies the locked BNB score. If the quests are all completed, the final score will be amplified.

The total score is calculated based on the amount and duration of the locked BNB and Web3 quest completion. The rewards a user gets are based on the total score in proportion to the total scores of all qualified users.

Megadrop Points Formula:

total score = (Locked BNB Score * Web3 Quest Multiplier) + Web3 Quest Bonus

• readiness for immediate participation by keeping an adequate balance of BTC and BNB in the spot wallet
• diversifying holdings, by keeping a mix of digital assets that meet requirements for tasks and subscriptions
