Lookonchain.com reports that Binance has launched the "Starter Carnival" series, starting with a Button Game. Users who click a button trigger a 60-minute countdown that resets if another user clicks before it expires. The first participant to let the timer reach 00:00 without interruption wins a 30 BNB voucher.
The event requires 50,000 registered users to begin, with each participant receiving three initial click chances. These chances are earned through tasks such as deposits, trades, and sharing. If no one reaches zero, the prize goes to the user whose countdown is closest to completion.
