Binance has terminated more than 600 accounts that were found to be exploiting the Alpha platform using bot software to gain unfair profits. The company announced that it will introduce new measures to protect legitimate users.
The world’s largest crypto exchange stated that the affected accounts were manipulating airdrop campaigns on the Alpha platform. In its official statement, Binance emphasized its commitment to maintaining a fair, transparent, and trustworthy ecosystem.
Official Statement from Binance: “We Will Ensure Fairness”
In its announcement, Binance confirmed that several users had been detected using bots to gain unfair advantages. The company explained that these accounts were closed to protect genuine users’ rights and to strengthen the credibility of the Alpha platform.
“Binance enforces a zero-tolerance policy toward any accounts that violate platform rules. Users who engage in prohibited activities will be permanently banned from participating in campaigns, and all illicit gains will be reclaimed.”

The exchange also encouraged users to report any suspicious or fraudulent activity. Binance added that the first successful whistleblower would be rewarded with up to 50% of the recovered funds.
System Manipulation Through Bot Farms
Behind Binance’s decisive move lies the discovery that some users had created bot farms to manipulate the airdrop system. These individuals generated thousands of fake accounts to repeatedly claim rewards from the same campaign, gaining an unfair advantage.
A bot farm refers to a setup where a person or group uses automated software to collect multiple rewards from airdrop events. This practice not only reduces the chances for legitimate users to receive rewards but also allows a small group of manipulators to capture the majority of the reward pool.
“Some teams joined campaigns with hundreds of bot accounts. This completely disrupted the fair user experience and distorted the reward economy.”

Increased User Monitoring and Transparency
To combat abuse, Binance conducted a comprehensive audit of accounts on the Alpha platform. The company confirmed that over 600 accounts were terminated, though some community members speculate that the real number could be in the tens of thousands.
Moving forward, Binance announced plans to deploy advanced analytical tools and automated security filters to detect bot activity. These measures are part of Binance’s broader goal to build a fair and transparent airdrop ecosystem. The cleanup operation on the Alpha platform aims to restore balance between fairness and security in the airdrop economy. Analysts believe this initiative could strengthen community trust and deter future bot manipulation in upcoming token distribution campaigns.
