Key Takeaways:

• 10 million AVNT tokens (≈1% of total supply) are dropped by Binance to BNB holders who staked Sept 6–8 through Simple Earn or On-Chain Yields
• Avantis (AVNT) offers leveraged synthetic crypto, forex, commodities trading; zero listing fee and research report in detail on the way

It is only recently that Binance has released one of its strongest reward deals yet: the 40th HODLer Airdrop, whose flagship project is Avantis (AVNT).

What Is Avantis and Why It Matters

Avantis (AVNT) is an on-chain exchange that’s intended for leveraged trading of synthetic assets – crypto, forex, and commodity derivatives to list a few. Users can also supply liquidity to support those synthetic markets. The leverage + synthetic exposure + liquidity provision combo makes Avantis a DeFi powerhouse.

Some of the important specs:

• Token Supply: 1,000,000,000 AVNT total (genesis supply)
• Airdrop Distribution: 10,000,000 AVNT (≈1% genesis supply) given out by airdrop in this HODLer distribution
• Future Marketing Distribution: An additional 20,000,000 AVNT reserved for marketing, to be dropped approximately six months from now
• Network: Base (smart contract address 0x696F9436B67233384889472Cd7cD58A6fB5DF4f1)
• Listing Fee: Free – no extra fee for customers to see AVNT on Binance

Binance also promises a full research report within 48 hours of the announcement, supported by further information released to market makers and holders regarding Avantis’s model, governance, roadmap, and risk factors.

How to Qualify: The Mechanics of the Airdrop

Snapshot Period and Eligibility

• Eligibility was determined on the basis of the following conditions:
• Must have BNB subscribed in either Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked) or On-Chain Yields products
• Do so between 00:00 UTC on September 6, 2025, and 23:59 UTC on September 8, 2025

No additional registration was required. If your BNB was subscribed to the right products during that time, you’re automatically in.

Reward Calculation and Limits

• Rewards will be figured out from hourly average balances during that time — past snapshots will decide how much AVNT each user receives.
• One key limitation: no single user may hold more than 4% of the total pool of participants (in average AVNT held versus total average AVNT). If you held more than 4%, your “excess” holding will be limited to 4%, for reward calculation purposes.
• Avantis (AVNT) rewards will be paid out to eligible users’ Spot Accounts by September 16, 2025 at 13:00 UTC

Risks & Considerations for Participants

• Volatility: Synth trading can sometimes mean higher gains and losses. Smart contract risk, price feeds, slippage, and platform risk must be Watch out for.
• Regulatory Environment: Synth assets and derivatives are regulated across most regimes. Subject to local regulation, some areas of Avantis can face regulatory or compliance challenges.
• Lock-in & Exposure: Converting from BNB to Simple Earn or On-Chain Yields may come with lock-up durations or opportunity costs (sacrificed profits elsewhere).
• Token Release Schedule: Despite the September 16 drop date, real-world delays can happen.

Implications for BNB Holders & Binance Ecosystem

For customers that own BNB, this is simply one more reminder that owning (and using products from Binance Earn) can be profitable without always having to constantly exchange. It promotes the activation of product features like Simple Earn and On-Chain Yields.

For Binance, Avantis adds one more leveraged synth trading protocol to its portfolio. If it takes off, it would further cement Binance’s market dominance in DeFi, particularly in non-crypto pure domains – commodities, forex.

It also raises anticipation for future HODLer releases: users will most certainly be paying closer attention to snapshot windows and qualification.
