In response to the devastation caused by the recent earthquake in Morocco, the Binance Charity will airdrop up to $3 million in BNB to Binance users identified as living in the areas affected by the tragedy. This is according to a statement by Binance made today.
Identification of the users will be based on Proof of Address (POA) completed before September 9 in Marrakesh-Safi Province. This area suffered the most significant impact. Users who have completed POA before this date in the Marrakesh-Safi Province area will each receive $100 in BNB directly in their Binance account.
“We recognize that many users in the affected area may not have yet completed POA,” The statement adds.
“For any existing user who completes POA after 9 September 2023 and before 30 September 2023, we will donate $25 in BNB directly to your Binance account.”
