Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced its support for the Solo Airdrop project. The Solo Airdrop is a new way to distribute airdrops to users of the Binance Chain blockchain.
The Solo Airdrop project was created by Binance Labs, the incubator arm of Binance, and is designed to make it easier for projects to distribute airdrops to Binance Chain users. Under the Solo Airdrop model, projects can choose to distribute their airdrops directly to users, without having to go through a third-party service.
To participate in a Solo Airdrop, users will need to have a Binance Chain wallet and be registered as a “sender” on the Binance Chain blockchain. Once registered, they will be able to receive airdrops from any project that chooses to use the Solo Airdrop model.
The announcement of Binance’s support for the Solo Airdrop project comes as the exchange is preparing to launch its own decentralized exchange (DEX) on Binance Chain. The DEX is scheduled to launch in early 2019 and will allow users to trade directly from their wallets without having to deposit their funds into a centralized exchange.
With the launch of the DEX, and now the support for the Solo Airdrop project, Binance is positioning itself as one of the most friendly platforms for projects looking to distribute airdrops. This could lead to more projects choosing to launch their airdrops on Binance Chain, which would in turn increase activity on the blockchain and help drive adoption of the platform.
