TLDR

Over 600 user accounts have been banned by Binance Wallet for violating the rules of its Binance Alpha program. This move is part of Binance’s wider push to protect the fairness of token airdrops. The decision follows recent actions by the exchange to fix earlier communication problems and restore trust among users after criticism of its token listing practices.
Action Taken to Protect Token Distribution Rules
Binance Wallet confirmed that it had banned more than 600 accounts last week. These users were found to be misusing the Binance Alpha program, which manages token airdrops for new crypto projects. The exchange said these actions broke the platform’s terms of service.
The Binance Alpha program was built to reward eligible users with tokens during early-stage project launches. However, some users found ways to exploit the system to claim more rewards than they were allowed. Binance responded by suspending the affected accounts and removing their access to the program.
Binance Responds to User Concerns About Platform Integrity
In a public statement, Binance said the bans are part of ongoing efforts to keep its platform fair and secure. It said protecting token distribution channels is important to maintain a level playing field for all users.
Binance has recently increased its monitoring of activity across its programs. A spokesperson for the company said, “We remain committed to building trust through fair participation in all user campaigns.” The exchange also said it will continue to monitor accounts for similar patterns and take action when needed.
Previous Issues Lead to Stricter Oversight
The ban follows recent user feedback about past issues, particularly related to how Binance communicates token listings and project details. In earlier months, Binance received complaints about a lack of clear guidelines and last-minute updates about token airdrops and listings.
To address these problems, Binance launched new transparency measures. These include clearer program rules and updated user support resources. The company has promised to prevent unfair practices and fix gaps in how programs like Binance Alpha operate.
Recovery Plans and Stronger Monitoring Systems
Binance is also working on new systems to prevent the misuse of airdrop tools. These tools were meant to support new projects and reward long-term users. However, bad actors used bots and fake identities to claim large amounts of tokens unfairly.
To stop this, Binance has added extra verification steps for users taking part in future Alpha airdrops. The exchange said it will work with project partners to detect fraud early. It also plans to report repeat violations and take permanent action if needed.
As part of its recovery plan, Binance is engaging with users to explain changes and gather feedback. It said the goal is to improve trust and build stronger protections around community reward programs.
A Reminder to Follow Rules
Binance has reminded users that all account activity must follow the platform’s terms of service. It said the Binance Alpha program is still active, but only for users who meet all requirements.
The company ended its statement by encouraging honest participation in future airdrops. It also said it will continue to remove accounts that misuse the system, as part of efforts to keep token distribution fair.
Binance has not shared further details about the banned accounts or the specific rule violations. However, it confirmed that more updates will be shared as new measures are rolled out.
