I've been following a few Telegram conversations recently and I've seen a new project type that involves people hanging on to their tokens or coins and then passively earning BNB or another coin. Of course, this might be a wonderful marketing effort to get people to buy the primary token being promoted...after all, who wouldn't want to have passive income?

But, of course, we are always skeptical...do you believe that a programme like this can truly succeed and last? Or is this just another avalanche of meme token metamorphosis?

Many have already done so, providing more stable coins as a holder incentive. But there's a lot to consider, especially the underpercentage of incentives with too long a holding period. If you are a trader, you will not be comfortable with these terms. Of course you know the general concern, holding newly registered coins carries a greater level of risk than established coins.

I know one token "MOONRAT" and the system is you are earning BNB by mining but actually that just like virtual earning or something like virtual hash. And yes, they are ended by rug pull (exit scam). However, went some projects offering this kind of scheme went the earning you are making still from the unknown resource should be aware of that. No mather passive income or anything should be have some risk, went you are got some offer without risk at all then should think twice cause imposible without any risk at all.

if the token in question is a new token that is popular from social media and it is not even clear that its development is better, don't.

if you really want passive income I guess every exchange now provides it.
choose a project and platform that people really trust. do not easily believe in new projects.

If you want to earn BNB then HODL BNB on Binance and you will earn BNB. You can also do the same on the trust wallet, they have a far better APY than Binance but you need to HODL a minimum of 0.5 BNB. Whereas on Binance there is no such limit. Another benefit of holding BNB on Binance is that you also get free launchpad tokens. I personally do not recommend having tokens/coins on an exchange but since you asked for it I answered it.

Most of those projects are scams, they will take your BNB or any token and will hide from the market after a while so personally, I won't suggest anyone to invest on such kind of investment plans. If you want to earn passive income then you can go for staking which offers better returns or even invest them on lending platforms like blockfi.

But if the token is BNB, I don't think that rule applied. Well, if Binance go awol, then the BNB would crash asap.

---

I think this is similar to farming, so all the risk applied as well. So better use Binance or trust wallet as mentioned above.

if you do it on a trusted platform I guess it's ok.
such as binance, ApeSwap, and several other exchanges also provide the same way for you to earn passive income from the assets you keep.
lately, I am interested in the Nominex exchange platform. several events are included to hold our assets.
try to state more clearly what you mean. platform and token you want.

Did you mean the Safe Haven project? Their slogan is, Hold HAVEN, Earn BNB.
I don't think a project like this won't last long, it would be better if the BNB allocation they would share was used to buy back their tokens and then burn them.

I don't really trust platforms that offer this kind of feature. I've used PantherSwap to get BNB, but in the end their smart contract had a problem and my funds stuck.

Are you talking about staking? Because staking is an existing concept. It works basically around the tokens which work on the Proof-of-Stake(PoS)[ADA] system rather than Proof-of-Work(PoW)[ETHER & BITCOIN] System. I think what these programs would essentially do is stake your coins and therefore create a staking pool and then get involved in the process of validation of block. With the power of a group of people, they will be more likely to get a chance of validation, and therefore the rewards will be better and higher. Then these rewards would get distributed among people who staked their coins. Most of the exchanges offer this staking too. This isn't anything new.

am sure the bnb you will get will not worth holding untrusted tokens ( i say untrusted because lately there are many new project that have rug pull, exit scam because they always have bad intention from the beginning, in my opinion i will rather buy bnb direct especially now that the market has dip and the bnb price is cheaper that few weeks back, better to hold bnb, put on binance vault and earn some passive income from others tokens, this will depend on te amount of bnb you hold but to me it is way trusted than this suggestion.

That obviously encourages people to join and invest in their project but that a big lie and scam trick. Nobody gives you that unless if you are using BNB as an incentive but the fact that you are holding a different project that seems impossible.

Anyway, that supposed to know more about the project. Scammers will find a way to fool people and we should be careful dealing with such a kind of offering and think deeply. Because if we analyze, you stake this coin and receive another coin. You definitely wonder why it goes like that, that supposedly you will receiving the same coin/token if they are legit.

Did they ever fix that problem that you got on their platform?

Such a program is good if it's actually coming from a very known platform but if not, do not put yourself at that greater risk because you might not ever know that you're buying into a bad platform.

You better just go into another staking from another altcoin.

This can be their trick to make scam with people. First, they will give free BNB or another coin then maybe they can ask for some fee. So be aware of this. Keep getting free coins until they give. When they start asking for some fee, then leave it.
If the project is looking good with a good team and ideas then must give it a chance it can give you good profit also.

That is ridiculous, actually.
And we might be surprised after buying their coins, we can't hear them anymore. newbies should be taking this seriously and stop being a hunter of easy money schemes. Because in the first place, such kind of offer is not possible and an obviously a scam trick. That is an old story and we have done this from the past and if we still think of trusting them again with this kind of offering, we are simply making ourselves stupid.

to be honest there were a few times I researched it because I also wanted to get into it until I realized it was better to keep trading or hodl even though I'm not a big fan of hodl for a long time, but between that kind of stuff or hodl i prefer hodl because at least i would have control of my coins. one of the problems with this type of thing is the returns versus the investment period versus the risk involved I don't think it's advantageous, imagine having to stay 1 year and in the end realize that it was better to do hodl? Is it a case where I don't understand why people use it


once i saw a site offering 800% apy, well i don't quite understand how this scheme works so i didn't rush to judge and consider it scam, it was something similar to yearn.finance but it offered 800% apy. I found it suspicious

Isnt it reward for providing liquidity on DEX? So every transaction on dex, some of fee will be devided among the stakers. Its like how fee on CEX work, but its spreaded among the stakers.
For me its a good thing, so instead we make CEX owner richer, we maintain us as community to have healthier space.

What i would like to know is which project is giving away BNB tokens, is it a shell company project made by CZ and Binance and if that is the case then they can give out any number of BNB coins or tokens and then get them listed in their exchange and as always they can make the money they targeted and so on. Either the team coming out with this project is expecting people to invest heavily in the project if not how they are going to raise the capital to give BNB for holding the coins.

It's a promotional like buy one take one. Though what Ive seen before was buying their token and then acquiring another token but those tokens were not that familiar and they are just doing it to encourage investors buy such new coins that has ubsure potentials.

Though BNB is a great catch but how much will we received BNB in exchange with their buying their coins? Weigh all the values and price , if you think you will hit two birds with one stone then buying a coin with free BNB is a good catch.

Not for long. I see projects like that often and they usually end in a short time. If you often interact in the trading world, I'm sure you will choose a coin that already exists and has been proven to last, even though prices are always changing.

Better to avoid tokens that offer such thing, hold their tokens and earn BNB, earning BNB is a desirable thing as BNB tokens are very popular nowadays.
Maybe you will get BNB but the amount is not much and the tokens you hold can fall at any time, then you will lose even though you get BNB.
In the past I've been stuck in projects like this, if you know the Bankera project. in the past this project took a lot of victims, including me, LOL
Hold Bankera tokens earn ETH. Now their tokens are ashes and holders don't get ETH.

One of the things that you have to watch out on decentralized exchange is fake projects that are imitating real projects, always look at the smart contract and see to it that you are trading on the right contract, of course, liquidity is another important factor do diligent research on the project you are investing, there's a lot of projects doing rug pulls leaving investors losing their money.

OP can earn BNB rewards from Binance staking. Binance offers BNB staking facilities for users although rate is low but it's safe i think. Any new project that wants to offer BNB rewards, should investigate first otherwise new users may fall in the victim of SCAM.



I also think so. Most of the projects, DEXs offer staking rewards paid with their coins/tokens except few ones.

some provide USDT and indeed most pay for their own tokens or coins.
if the reward is BNB, it should be integrated with binance. like ApeSwap or maybe exchanges that have officially partnered with binance like TKO and WRX.

If those type of projects are returning higher apy than it won't be sustainable for long term. On the other hands, few defi projects or AMM/DEX are already doing that type of reward distribution in WBNB which is earned through the transection fees from the users of that platfotm. TBH, i participated in those projects to get WBNB while hodling their native tokens, but apy is lower than usual. So, go for those platforms which is providing reward with lower apy or having a source for those rewards and avoid other shit projects which are just creating hype/fomo so that they can rug pull in future.

I also often find offers like this, but this is hard to believe, they really need BNB, and there is no way they will give BNB because of simple hodl things, and better we leave this program.

So many tokens on telegram creates this opportunity for their investors most engage their followers on bounty programs either rewarding them with a token or a more valuable coin I think this is a strategy to circulate their tokens

if you mean the token that is currently booming and moreover there is another pump in the new token I don't think you need to follow it because everyone already knows what the end of this token will be. but if you want to try go ahead :)
and I also suggest that if you want to earn passively choose one that is really trustworthy, don't be a fomo and you have to do your own research so you are sure

rug pull is always a possibility, do not think that some project is secure just because there is a hype around it
it is always a good practice to take your profits out, for next investment, and leave something for passive income, as a moon bag, because you never know what will actually play-out with the project
do not take this as advise, and always do your own research before investment

Rug pulls have been around forever in this industry, but it seems as if they become more popular currently again. It might be due to the fact that crypto has more publicity again and more newbies are joining the space. So some scammers try out one scam project and see if it's profitable, and if it is they launch one after another. It's the absolute worst in the space.

I don't know I personally don't trust all the other solutions / defi the only two trusted solutions are binance (where you need at least 0.5 bnb for the stake) and their official mobile wallet, i.e. trust wallet where the minimum for the stake is 1 bnb

I think that this method will not last long because the more people who buy tokens, the more money the project will spend, better the money is for development

I think you mean SafeHaven. They offer passive income from holding their tokens and a 3-day BNB harvest cycle. Of course, these are brand new coins. The issue is how compatible their circulating supply/emission rates will be, inflation is also taken into account. Success should be assessed over time. Doubt is a loss if it can't do a better job of pulling the carpet.

There are better ways to earn BNB than investing in such coins, most of them will depreciate more than the amount of BNB you get and you will experience losses.

Some actually do pay up with the BNB as a reward of hodling their coin or token. But be careful, rugs are real. DYOR

If a token success or future projections is based on another altcoin,  you should know that you stand a chance of your investment been diluted or wiped out as soon as the based altcoin is dipped or something else happened negatively to that based altcoin.  Sound idea and solid contribution or proposal or idea is enough to make new project successful!

Telegram is full of scams in my opinion, so those offering you a large APY will probably want to take your precious BNB coins and give you worthless BEP20 tokens that will eventually be dumped to zero, abandoned and forgotten. To be honest, this type of investment could be an ordinary Ponzi or MLM scheme. They will attract new investors and pay you BNB, but one day they will disappear with all the coins raised.

I advice you to only lend BNB coins on trusted platforms like Binance or BlockFi. You can also delegate your BNB coins to one of BSC validators of your choice.

If you really want to earn passive income, you can use Binance and hold some BNB to earn tokens because that is how you can have more new coins listed on Binance. You can stay away from the scammer from telegram because we know that telegram has many fake programs, including investment programs.

By holding BNB in Binance, you can also earn a reward in BNB, so you will have a chance to increase your BNB amount. The investment program will always attract attention from people because they want to invest in the right program. But unfortunately, they did not search for what is right instead just follow what other people suggest.

It is very important for one to carry out thorough research about the said coin cause the risk that is associated with this kind of coin might be much. A lot of crypto scam activities had been going on in Telegram which is a way of gathering participants to support or invest in a meme coins that would later disappear without any notice. This kind of offer is somehow suspicious giving an holder of a coin BnB as compliment in return, which I think nothing really good might come out of this project.

Indeed, this is the key factor to choose any platform where we can passive income and many users don't do the research before participating into those trends or platform. As always, none should invest those funds which can't afford to lose. BTW, many projects already did rug pull and acted like that was hack and investors lost a lot of fund into those projects.

We encounter a lot of meme tokens in the market, not to mention we are tempted by very cheap prices, if we are not able to analyze the market then it is likely that buying these cheap tokens will be in vain. I prefer to buy tokens that are at standard prices if you are a novice player, considering the potential for losses is very small.
but on the one hand we play in the crypto world, we cannot be separated from the risks that we will get, depending on our readiness to analyze and study the market so that the slightest risk can be properly minimized. I also suggest that before playing too far it's a good idea to first learn what we want to do.

correct, and fyi mostly people who use to join in such events through telegram always complaining because of some reason. So you better stay away on it if you want a legit passive income.. As the matter of fact holding in exchanges such binance is more reliable so must choose it than hanging your money with some projects that you don't know if it can guarantee afterwards.  Every day there's a bunch of good project emerging in binance and you can easily compute your profits unlike those telegram groups that offer such things. Wherein you don't have any idea how many profits you can get after all.

If you are not sure about a token then you should not invest into that token it is that simple. Or the worst case just drop in a very small amount of money and see how it is done and that way you could make some money. I personally believe that there is a good chance that people could make money in places like Cake for example, but they do not usually give BNB as far as I know, they give cake as a reward and it is not cheap neither one cake is still a good amount of reward so you need to put in a lot of money.

I cannot speak about other places because they are not always the greatest but I believe Cake is great and most investments there are great. Could be cake solo, could be cake-bnb could be cake-busd or even bnb-busd and they are all great. They do not have high return like the other farming pairs but that is fine, I rather have safety than risk.

I recently join one of binance smart chain base project bounty name as ( Safehaven)
which claim that we will give you bnb as a reward if you hold our token.
Also they told us that they will give bnb according to the percentage of your hold token.
So I think its best way to advertise His token. And help to rise his price

Don't ever trust these telegram conversation which are just to attract the members and once they stake their tokens you won't get anything and most probably you will loose what you have put at stake.Last time I heard was one of the projects I don't remember was offering btc if I hold their tokens and when I tried to find about them nothing conveiencing so don't trust what you listen but do your own research.You will find lot of way you can earn BNB from staking like staking them on Trust wallet or over the projects like Moonrat but it's your choice and remember it's crypto market so make your move wisely.

It is a sort of encouragement leading to a scam. You can get BNB if you just stake BNB also, not another project/token. It is likely to divert the mind of the no-how investors and feed their scammer's mouth.

It is possibly resulting in failure and losses on the side of the investors. We can't just tell another set of meme tokens but this is probably another set of nonsense projects. A lot of the spreading around and it was too sad how newcomers become the victim of this mess.

Most of the Telegram groups that are focusing on cryptocurrencies are full of scams being advertised or shilled to get as many participants to their projects as much as possible., I am sure that once or twice we have been enticed to try to support a meme project with the hope that one day it would be doing a crazy pump, but we know that the chance is quite slim. And so to attract more people we now have deflationary coins that are rewarding BNB to their holders, which can be a good way to earn passive income...until it lasts.

By the way to OP, where did you get the original post of this thread? This sounds so familiar to me.

Only some projects can pay us and projects like this will not last long, if there is a project that runs in accordance with the target that has been set then it does not hurt to participate in the project, although the percentage given is very low but we can add assets even though the value is not so great.

Yeah you can..I know in ETH tokens like octo do something similar. they shared their own fee from trading/farming in stable coins..but yeah it's a big ecosystem.

It's possible..but no coin always goes straight to the moon phase, like every coin in the bull market..it will likely go up. But when the bear comes...it's will not also decrease your token price but your share of fee will also be declined because people will less likely to use it... too broke to even trade.

If sure that is another way to attract more potential investors to buy thier token and hold or stake in order to earn BNB. I think new projects now are offering good APR so there are investors to stake their tokens. I also observe some projects gone wrong in crypto space. They run the money while some of investors tokens are still in staking. Investors doesn't know that the team scam them. Be careful to participate in the project with high APR.

Currently, there are many BSC projects that can earn BNB with Hold the token project, I personally am not interested in such that project because I think it has very little potential for the future

With their smart contract there are many new project based on token under BSC chain. and not all have the potential for success or at least provide value, people must be careful in choosing the project and carefull investing in any token, in fact there is many new token right know without any purpose and just trying to get easy money with this, but if you talk about staking it is indeed a new and unique innovation for some people. like staking. farming, i also had few friends are constantly doing these things.

I also see and read a lot of things like that on social media, be it twitter or telegram. I think it's one of the team's ways to introduce the coin and so far it's been very good but I think the level of risk is very high where we invest in a coin that just appears, we can't know for sure the success of the coin. I never took part until now because I thought it was very risky

Not only that I also seen some projects  announcing airdrop whenever one is holding an x amount of their coin.  Honestly, I think this kind of scheme won't succeed in the long run.  It is much better to offer a project that will give a real life use case of the coin than giving away something for not moving their token.

this is a marketing program that is very profitable for them, to attract people to want to do what they want, so that the goals that should be done can synergize with others without harming them too, because they hold it back.
but many people like things like this which is important there is a reward but the reward is not instantly usable, of course there are no positive aspects that can be taken from something like that. It seems that I'm not the only one who isn't interested, you too and maybe those who know how to do this gradually understand.

If you hold the coin too long, then the possibilities that we don't want, I'm sure will happen. Everyone wants to earn from owned tokens or coins. I've seen programs like the ones you mentioned on my Telegram too often. For me it's just their promotion.

If I answer that I don't believe it, my assumption is that I'm too good at choosing and judging. In my opinion, it's just a marketing strategy. And I also believe, that such a program will not last long.

This is good to attract the trader or investor to their exchange by giving BNB to hold the coins even I heard too some exchanges are paying BNB but I don't take the risk to put my coins on the exchange to get the meager award of BNB and the risk is also there because you might have heard about the hacking of the exchange. What will you do if something goes wrong so it's better to keep it in your wallet rather than in exchange for a little reward? If you want to hold your coins on the exchange and want some reward I would advise you to look at Binance exchange rather than believing in a new exchange.

MoonRat is not a scam project. MoonRat has had a full security audit by Certik, the leading security-focused ranking platform to analyze and monitor blockchain protocols and DeFi projects. The team members are doxed and they have to KYC to have the audits from Certik.
They are working on the MoonRat Ecosystem that will be released in August!
Next time #dyor and don't say the wrong fact

Very important if you care about your investment, before investing your money into some project allow yourself to research

for more deeper information, there are lots of scammers around, without doing your research you'll be easily targetted and

in the end you'll lose your money in hope for quick turned around.

For me, it has always been the same process of the more you hold, the more you earn. it is the same thing as staking pools on the pancake website to earn cake. if you hold little, you earn little and if you hold a huge amount of the token, you gain a huge amount. it all depends on what you are holding. i doubt you will earn a huge amount if you choose to partake.

Maybe this is the effect of the increasingly expensive price of BTC, so people are looking for ways to keep investing, even though the investment does not get the maximum profit, but to just invest and have a profit, people must still do it.

We understand that the right investment involves a process of market analysis and monitoring, meaning that we cannot make any investment in a hurry, but the right choice for now is to think about how the investment should grow and develop for each of us who have the confidence to invest. .

This pattern is what we are doing in order to stay at the point where we need to invest properly and be able to minimize any possible losses.

Yes, that's right, the BSC project is a project that has been regulated in several market assets, and BNB is a market asset that was well looked at in the past few weeks, but the BNB token is very useful or useful for those who invest, and promises it to long-term projects or future projects.
I just hope that nothing changes.

i see a phenomenon where more and more platforms that promise good profit sharing like DeFi but end up losing out.  i don't know how smart contracts work and how they can give you BNB just by holding a token.  you have to do research first and don't be easily persuaded by the system they offer.

I am not sure if you are discussing things like liquidity provision in order to earn passive income, but liquidity provision doesn't go without risk either. That is also the problem with staking unless you are absolutely certain that the coin won't dump more than it generates in staking revenue value. I guess not too many would lock their coins for staking for a year or so. Too much can happen in the meantime that destroys your staking rewards. In the end the decision for passive income is also a bet that the underlying at least keeps its value.

That suppose to be going to happen and this is certainly a trick to encourage people to invest and hold BNB, and later on, they will do an exit scam carrying all the money deposited on their platform.

It is a need for us to be vigilant in this kind of trick. So many ways, a scammer could make us a fool and one of these is to offer huge rewards for attraction. If we easily believe in this kind of business, perhaps they are winning, and we make ourselves ignorant as it was clear that it was fake.

if you know that your token have potential to increase its value by holding it for long time you should keep it till its get to the moon but if your token has no future you should sell it before its too late its all depend on your own monitoring and research of what you are holding.

Actually there are many projects that allow you to stake your tokens and earn something more promising, like BNB or stablecoins. You just put tokens in the pool, get interests and you can withdraw whenever you want. I don't remember any projects where you can do it with BNB, but talking about Polygon net, you can earn different stablecoins by staking native tokens of a project (polyyeld, boneswap).

I saw the maximum token site is fack so before investing you have to think your security mast then you can deposit otherwise your capital can destroy cause this sector has lots of scammer and fack sites.so I think you invest in any trusted exchange and you can take staking system where you can earn with full security.

don't trust the groups on telegram too much, most of them are just scammers, I'm not sure about the majority of the groups on telegram especially when they talk about defi. hold a token then get BNB I think it's a dupe, don't trust easily, stay alert.

That's right, we don't easily believe in things like that, let alone those that promote instant results,
Now, fraudsters are getting smarter in making traps, so we have to be careful.

There are many defi exchanges that offer staking or farming with the exchange's coin and get bnb for it, only there is so little % that it is not particularly noticeable that the earnings that you want are earned only by whales with large wallets.

It is often used by the teams to make the buyers hold while they themselves sell. I think though that more and more people don't care that much anymore about these holding incentives unless they are really convincing and with convincing I don't mean unrealistic APR of 300% for staking or something like that.
