Some people have asked me why they didn’t receive the NIGHT distribution from the NIGHT Futures Trading Challenge even though they believe they met the required trading volume. Although it’s not certain, you should try checking whether you are eligible to participate in Binance Alpha, because if you don’t meet the eligibility requirements, you won’t receive the rewards. Please contact Binance’s online support—they will explain why you didn’t receive the reward, and if you are eligible, the reward will be distributed later. Trust Binance: I’ve encountered reward-related issues before, and after contacting support, the rewards were eventually credited. $NIGHT
