Binance Alpha just became the first trading platform to feature Arcium (ARX), and the token airdrop is now open to eligible users. The listing went live on June 22, marking a big day for the Solana-based privacy network. Anyone holding enough Binance Alpha Points can claim tokens once trading opens on the Alpha Events page.

Eligibility runs on a points system. Users need a minimum Alpha Points balance to unlock the claim button, though Binance has not confirmed the exact number yet.
Trading opens on the Alpha Events page on June 22
Users open the event page inside Binance Wallet and hit Claim for the token
Claiming likely deducts a set number of Alpha Points, similar to past listings
Claims tend to run first-come, first-served until the reward pool runs out
Past Alpha events used thresholds somewhere in the 210 to 241 point range, and some community estimates place ARX near 220 points. Binance has not locked in this number, so checking the app directly remains the only reliable way to confirm current standing.
Arcium is a confidential computing network built on Solana. It lets developers run private calculations on encrypted data without exposing the actual information.
Confidential AI applications that need to protect sensitive inputs
Private financial transactions on Solana
Secure data sharing between businesses without leaking details
The Arcium Solana connection gives it speed and composability that many privacy projects lack. Most confidential computing tools run slow or depend on special hardware. The platform avoids both problems through its multiparty computation design.
ARX has a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens with no inflation and no dilution built in. The token serves two jobs only: node operators stake it as collateral to offer compute power, and holders use it to vote across two governance tracks.
Computation fees get paid in SOL, not ARX, splitting 70% to node operators, 20% to recovery nodes, and 10% to treasury
20.88% of supply (208.8M tokens) unlocks at launch, with the remaining 79.12% locked behind a 12-month cliff
Delegating ARX to operators carries slashing risk, since it's not a deposit and isn't principal-protected
Full supply unlocks roughly four and a half years after launch
Arcium Pre-market Details: ARX Token Price and Funding
Arcium funding reached $14.00M total, based on public ICO records. The Arcium token sale priced the crypto coin at $0.20 per token through a Coinlist round that ran from March 24, 2025 to April 1, 2025, selling 20,000,000 tokens for $4.00M of that total.
An earlier angel round on March 27, 2025 added $1.00M, with backers including Michael Heinrich, Joe McCann, Jordi Alexander, and Stepan Simkin among others.
A separate pre-TGE booster campaign lets users swap 2 Alpha Points for around 30 ARX from a 1.5M pool, capped at 50,000 participants on a first-come basis, with possible lock-up terms attached.
Reactions across crypto social media show mixed feelings for the airdrop event. Many users feel excited about getting in early on a Binance new listing tied to a real working product.
Others raised concerns:
High Alpha Points thresholds shut out smaller retail holders
Scam warnings appeared for fake ARX tokens circulating online
Requests for simpler claiming steps came up repeatedly
Arcium also runs its own separate Retroactive Token Grant allocations through its RTG portal, distinct from anything tied to Binance Alpha Points.
Arcium enters a crowded field that includes Secret Network, Phala Network, Zama, and Nillion, each tackling confidential computing through different methods like TEE hardware, pure FHE, or modular MPC setups.
Arcium's pitch centers on parallel processing speed combined with native Solana composability, something hardware-dependent or single-chain competitors struggle to match.
Launching first on Binance gives Arcium something most rivals never got: immediate exposure to a massive trading audience right at TGE.
With confidential AI and privacy-focused DeFi both gaining real attention across crypto right now, landing a major exchange debut at this exact moment puts Arcium in front of buyers while the privacy narrative is actively heating up, not after it cools off.
