What does this crypto actually pay me?

That is the only question this site answers. We take Binance's own published figures for its earn campaigns, line them up against real traded prices, and work out what people actually received — not the headline at the start, the arithmetic at the end. Every number carries its source and the date we checked it.

APRLOG referral code

BN0112

Enter it in the referral field at sign-up for up to 20% off trading fees; it also earns this site a referral commission.

The actual discount is whatever Binance displays at sign-up, and the platform can change it. The code has to go in during registration — it generally cannot be added later. See the steps.

Prices taken at the 2026-08-22 daily close, verified 2026-08-23. This is a hand-checked snapshot, not a live feed. “Per BNB” is Binance's own published average; the dollar figure is that quantity multiplied by the daily close on the stated date.

Where these numbers come from

The “per BNB” figure is Binance's own published average, not our estimate; the dollar amount is that quantity multiplied by the daily close on the stated date. Campaigns we could not verify are left out — the review board has four rounds because the official page retains the key fields for four. Method and limits are on the about page.

Completed projects block on the Binance Launchpool page; the OPG and GENIUS cards are both tagged HODLer Airdrops and show total reward amounts
The completed-projects block on the public Binance Launchpool page. The OPG and GENIUS cards are tagged “HODLer Airdrops”, the hold-to-qualify campaigns the review board covers, listed on the same page as Launchpool farming. Captured 2026-08. The page updates as new campaigns finish.

Only campaigns we could verify line by line against official announcements. “Upcoming” is empty because the qualifying window for this campaign type closes before the announcement is published — that is the mechanism, not an omission. Seehow airdrop eligibility is decided。

Flexible

no lock-up

rate floats and is tiered

Locked / staking

locked or unbonding

Dual investment

locked to settlement

an option sale; you may be converted

The three most common shapes side by side. Their headline rates are not on the same scale — settle the lock-up and exit terms first, then look at the rate. Staking and high-APR campaign products are in the full table.
