Everything here is a qualitative read to help you see the trade-offs fast. The exact thresholds, supported coins and points math change from round to round, so go by whatever Binance's own page shows for the current round. We've tried to keep this even-handed — each of the four suits someone, and none is flat-out "best." Filtering only highlights rows in your browser; it collects nothing.

How to use this table

The filter buttons map to a few common situations. Tap "Good for a small budget" and it highlights the ones that go easier on a small stake; tap "Mostly hands-off" and you're left with the ones that barely need your time. For the details and pitfalls of each, head to the overview of the four, or run the decision helper for a lean based on your situation.

Worth repeating: none of the four is a sure thing. New tokens can open weak, and locking has an opportunity cost — work it out before you jump in.
