BABT stands for Binance Account Bound Token. It's a soulbound token (SBT) that, once minted, is permanently bound to your wallet address.
What Is a Soulbound Token?
Regular NFTs can be bought, sold, and transferred. But soulbound tokens cannot — once sent to your wallet, they can't be transferred, sold, or destroyed. Think of it as a permanent digital identity marker.
After signing up for Binance and completing KYC, you're eligible to obtain a BABT.
What Is BABT Used For?
Identity Verification
BABT proves you've passed Binance's identity verification (KYC). In the on-chain world, it serves as a "verified" badge.
DeFi Project Access
Some DeFi projects, airdrops, or whitelists require BABT as a participation condition, since holding BABT means you're a verified real person, not a bot or sybil attacker.
Exclusive Benefits
Binance or partner projects may offer BABT holders exclusive perks like priority access to events, exclusive airdrops, and community governance voting rights.
On-Chain Reputation
BABT is part of your on-chain reputation. As Web3 identity systems develop, the value of soulbound tokens may grow significantly.
