Participate in Airdrops and Events
Binance frequently holds events on social media, including trading competitions, airdrops, learn-and-earn, etc. You must follow official accounts to participate as soon as possible.

How to Identify True and Fake Official Accounts
General Identification Methods
Regardless of the platform, the methods to identify true and fake official accounts are roughly the same:
- Verified Badge: Genuine official accounts usually have the platform's verified badge (blue checkmark, gold checkmark, etc.)
- Number of Followers: Genuine official accounts usually have hundreds of thousands to millions of followers
- Account Creation Time: Official accounts are usually created earlier, while fake accounts are often newly registered
- Quality of Posted Content: Official content is professional, consistent, and high-quality; fake account content is messy or full of ads
- Interaction Method: Official accounts will not proactively private message users asking for passwords or transfers
Verify with Binance Verify
Binance's Binance Verify tool can verify whether a social media account is official. You can enter a Twitter username, Telegram group name, etc., and the system will tell you whether it belongs to the official.
This is the most authoritative verification method, and it is recommended to verify before following any "Binance" related account.
Find Through Website Links
The footer of the Binance official website usually has links pointing to official accounts on various social media platforms. Accounts accessed through these links are definitely official.
Common Scam Tactics on Social Media
Fake Customer Service
Scammers create accounts on platforms like Telegram and Twitter that look like Binance customer service, proactively contacting users (especially those asking questions in public channels) to offer "help".
The Truth: Binance customer service will absolutely never proactively private message you through social media. If someone proactively contacts you claiming to be Binance customer service, they are 100% a scammer.
Fake Airdrop Events
Scammers post fake "airdrop events", claiming that participants can get cryptocurrency for free. They require you to connect your wallet or transfer a "verification fee" first.
The Truth: Legitimate airdrops will not ask you to transfer money first. True Binance events will be published through verified official accounts.
Fake Investment Groups
Scammers create groups like "Binance VIP Investment Group" or "Binance Internal Communication Group", attracting people to join the group by sharing fake profit screenshots, and then inducing you to invest or use fake platforms.
The Truth: Binance does not have any so-called "internal investment groups" or "VIP signal groups". All groups operating under such banners are scams.
Fake Event Links
Scammers share fake event links in the comment section or via private messages, which point to phishing websites.
The Truth: Event links must be obtained through official posts by official accounts; do not click on links in the comment section or private messages.
Fake Celebrity Endorsements
Scammers impersonate accounts of celebrities or KOLs to post content recommending investments on a certain platform.
The Truth: Even if a celebrity genuinely recommends an investment platform, you must verify the authenticity of the information yourself. Celebrity accounts can also be hacked or impersonated.
The Correct Way to Follow Official Accounts
Only Follow Verified Accounts
Regardless of the platform, only follow official accounts with a verified badge. If an account claims to be Binance official but is unverified, do not follow it.
Do Not Find Social Media Links Through Search Engines
Just like finding the official website, do not search for "Binance Telegram" or "Binance Twitter" through search engines. There might be fake links in the search results. Entering through the social media links at the bottom of the Binance official website is the safest.
Turn Off Private Messages (or Ignore Messages from Strangers)
On platforms like Telegram, it is recommended to turn off the private messaging feature for strangers. Alternatively, completely ignore any private messages from strangers claiming to be "Binance".
Turn On Notifications
Turn on notifications after following official accounts so that important announcements (like security warnings, domain changes, etc.) can be delivered immediately.
Recommendations for the Chinese Community
For Chinese users, the following channels can be used to access Chinese content:
- Binance Chinese Telegram Group: Has Chinese administrators, you can ask questions and discuss in Chinese
- Binance Academy Chinese Version: Official educational platform with a massive amount of Chinese tutorials
- Chinese Announcements in the Binance App: After setting the app to Chinese, the announcements will also be in Chinese
