Strategic Maneuvering to Surpass ARKM Limit per User
The timing and nature of the whale’s deposit suggest a calculated strategy to bypass the imposed ARKM limit per user.

This crafty maneuver has sparked conversations about the potential impact on the token sale’s dynamics and has set the stage for an intriguing battle between the whale and the established rules of participation.
In preparation for the highly anticipated ARKM token sale, Binance has unveiled a comprehensive four-step plan that ensures a fair and transparent process for all participants.Â
The stages include a meticulous calculation of participants’ balances during the preparation period, followed by a subscription period where users commit their BNB tokens by signing a Token Purchase Agreement.
Subsequently, the calculation period concludes the subscription phase and marks the initiation of token allocation calculations. Finally, the token sale culminates with the Final Token Distribution stage, where BNB tokens are deducted and users receive their ARKM and remaining BNB tokens.
The implications of the whale’s actions on the allocation process and the overall dynamics of the sale remain uncertain. But with Binance’s carefully orchestrated four-step plan in place, the industry is bracing itself for a high-stakes showdown that could reshape the landscape of this eagerly anticipated token sale.
