Corrections
Writing guides, you're bound to get something imprecise or unclear. When we do, we fix it openly and log what changed right here. Farming moves fast, and your corrections often arrive before we catch the problem ourselves.
Our corrections policy
The principle is simple: the moment we find an error or a misleading phrasing in an article, we verify and fix it — and we don't hide it. What changed and why both get written up in the log below. We won't quietly swap content out and pretend nothing happened.
Corrections from you are welcome. Whether a figure is out of date, a step has changed, or a sentence reads ambiguously, just email us: [email protected]. Say which article, which paragraph, and what you saw, and we'll check it. For details that shift with platform policy (fees, event rules and the like), we always write "go by the platform's current page," so a "change" of that sort isn't necessarily an error on our part — but if the phrasing really could mislead, we'll fix it all the same.
The log
Three fixes made against Binance's own documents: the Keyless wallet has no seed phrase, and how Alpha Points are calculated
This round we checked the home page and several guides line by line against the original text in the Binance help centre, and corrected three statements. First: the home page and several articles described "creating a Web3 wallet inside the Binance app" as requiring you to copy down a seed phrase on the spot. On verification, what the app creates is a Keyless (MPC) wallet whose private key is split into several key-shares held separately, and it never generates a 12- or 24-word seed phrase; its backup is setting a recovery password and putting a key-share into the cloud, or switching to a QR-code backup or Quick Backup — and once the recovery password is forgotten, Binance can't retrieve it for you either. Hand-copying the words and checking their order only applies to a wallet you imported from elsewhere, or one you get after running "Convert to Private Key Wallet". The relevant passages have been rewritten to separate those two paths. Second: the Alpha Points article used to say that "splitting trades into small amounts is usually better value than going all in, and looks more like a real user." Per the Alpha Points FAQ in the Binance help centre (version dated 2026-07-09), volume points are calculated as the logarithm of the day's total buy amount, so however many times you split within the same day it only looks at that day's total; it grants no extra points and only makes you pay fees and spread more times. That inference didn't hold, so it has been deleted and replaced with a worked example whose assumptions are stated. Third: the same article said "Alpha Points happen inside the Binance exchange, with no private keys to manage." In fact there are two ways in — the Alpha section inside the exchange app (assets custodied by the exchange), and Binance Wallet (self-custody, where qualifying assets in the wallet also count toward balance points and on-chain approval risk is yours to carry). Both entries and their respective risks are now written out separately.
Stated too rigidly that "you must hand-write the seed phrase when creating a wallet"
The first version, explaining how to create a Binance Web3 Wallet, said "during creation you must hand-write the seed phrase, or the wallet can't be created." On checking, that wasn't accurate: the backup step in the creation flow can in fact be skipped, and the wallet still gets created. We changed the wording to "the backup step can be skipped in the flow, but we strongly recommend writing down the seed phrase and storing it offline right then," and added a risk note — because if something happens to the device of a wallet whose backup was skipped, the assets are gone, and that's exactly the trap beginners fall into by thinking "I'll use it now and back it up later." (Note added 2026-09: the conclusion of this entry has been superseded by the 2026-09 correction above — a Keyless wallet created inside the app has no seed phrase, so the fix made at the time only applies to imported seed-phrase wallets.)
Sloppy, colloquial wording for the gas pricing unit
A reader wrote in to point out that, in one spot explaining Ethereum gas prices, we'd casually written the unit as something vague like "gwei blocks," which could make a beginner mix up the pricing unit with another concept. On review, the proper statement is that gas price is denominated in gwei (1 gwei = one billionth of an ETH). We've changed the passage back to the standard term and added a brief explanation of what gwei is. Thanks to that reader's sharp eye.
"Testnet tokens have no value" was easy to misread
The original text said "testnet tokens have no value," meaning to warn beginners not to spend money buying test tokens and not to expect to cash them out — but the sentence was too short, and a reader noted it read as though it were saying "the testnet is useless, don't bother." We added a clarification: test tokens indeed can't be traded and have no market value, but their purpose is to let you practice on-chain interaction and run the workflow without spending real money, which is genuinely useful for beginners. After the fix the meaning is clear — what has "no value" is trying to cash them out, not the testnet itself.
