claiming a free binance listing is insane and anyone who’s worked in crypto knows that

what did megaeth "pay" binance?
i dug into the MEGA listing announcements on binance and did some sleuthing to figure out whats going on
firstly, understand that binance's official policy is zero listing fee. they have not charged "listing fees" on any token listing since 2018
however, most operators in this space know that a binance listing is never "free". they ask for a portion of the token supply and give out 100% of it to their users in a number of different ways:
- airdrop for BNB holders
- marketing campaigns (trading-related)
- binance earn products (boosted yield on holding tokens on binance)
in the case of megaETH they did not do the airdrop or marketing campaigns (yet) .. but there is a binance earn product thats currently live
the binance app shows that the earn product is currently offering a 12.19% APR on MEGA deposits with a personal subscription limit of 33,668 MEGA ($4.6k)
however, the binance announcement of this product skips on important details that are usually always mentioned in such binance announcements: total deposit cap, promotion period/duration, etc
(you can compare binance's announcement for MEGA vs SIGN or SLF)
but interestingly the binance api reveals more details on the product itself, notably that the pool has a 50m MEGA cap which is currently 6.7% subscribed (link to api in next tweet)
that brings us to the million dollar question:
where is the 12.19% APR on binance's simple earn product for MEGA coming from if megaeth really did not give them tokens?
binance's own docs mention that boosted APRs on binance earn products are funded by projects themselves
so did binance make a first-time exception for this megaeth earn product and decided to give users yield to deposit their MEGA out of binance's pockets?
or were the binance listing announcements carefully crafted to ensure that it respects megaeth's public stance on not paying exchanges while binance still getting what they asked for?
i'll let you be the judge
fwiw, based on my napkin math, megaeth's negotiation with binance was good and they likely gave binance MUCH less than 99% of projects whose tokens get listed
(this obv assumes that there aren't more activities yet to be announced between binance and megaETH that use MEGA tokens)
--
coming back to the original point though, binance never lists a token for "free" and the biggest example here is pumpfun's TGE from last year. binance refused to list the most hyped TGE of the year until one month later when alon finally caved and gave binance 350m PUMP tokens for a trading competition
no free lunch with the biggest crypto exchange in the world

Imagine humanoid robots remove overhead entirely
Imagine the profit margins when you dont have to pay salaries, and COGS is minimized by efficiencies up and down the supply chain

i think gpt image 2 is actually agi for memes
it makes memes better than humans would
in fact instead of telling it what meme you’re trying to make it’s best if you just give it a screenshot of the thread you’re replying to and tell it to come up with a meme itself. it’ll be better than yours

almost nobody who has children would press red unless they know for an absolute fact that their kids pressed red
if you think there’s even a 5% chance your kids pressed blue, you will risk your life to improve their odds even by a tiny bit
to take this a step further most women are probably hard-wired to press blue as a motherly instinct anyway, even if they have no children. so at minimum you have a 25% baseline for blue right there, which completely tips the odds
so i think blue actually wins by a landslide if this was the real world and not a social media app for incels
in other words humanity always had the biological programming to ensure blue wins
