What Is Binance HODLer Airdrop?
Binance HODLer Airdrop is a retrospective reward system for BNB holders. The platform takes snapshots of users' BNB holdings and distributes token airdrops automatically—no manual action required. Binance also refers to it as the "Continuous Holder Airdrop."
Compared to active earning methods, the key advantage is its simplicity: just hold BNB long-term, and rewards accumulate passively.
What Does HODLer Mean?
"HODL" originated as a misspelling of "HOLD" in crypto culture, symbolizing steadfast asset retention despite market volatility. A HODLer is someone who holds crypto long-term, like BNB holders eligible for this airdrop.
What Is BNB?
BNB (Binance Coin) is Binance's native token, launched in 2017 via ICO. It’s used for trading fee discounts, Launchpool, Megadrop, HODLer Airdrop, staking, and even real-world payments.
