I've been watching BREV for almost half a year, and this airdrop process truly blew people away. As an analyst who has been following this project closely, I need to clarify this matter thoroughly.

Let's first talk about why BREV attracts so many people. The underlying Brevis team has real skills in the verifiable computation layer, with the core advantage of solving high-complexity calculations on the blockchain. The industry’s recognition of it is also high—researchers from the Ethereum Foundation are using its technology for block verification testing, which itself indicates its technical value. From the perspective of technical barriers in the ZK field, long-term holding is indeed supported by fundamentals.

The problem lies in the execution phase. The official only released an allocation of 57,000 units for claiming, yet they designed an overly complicated process—binding historical credentials, verifying holdings, multiple validations… Just understanding the rules took me half an hour. When the claiming channel finally opened, it was gone in the first minute. The efficiency was even more ruthless than spring festival ticket snatching, yet those script kiddies ended up benefiting. Several friends of mine who are as serious about researching projects and waiting in advance all ended up as casualties, with half a month of effort going to waste.

Complaints aside, I still need to talk about the practical approach. I personally pre-positioned a hedge of 400 units and have no plans to close the position now. The core logic behind this is to hedge against market uncertainty after the airdrop. Although the claiming process has now been implemented, in the long run, it will take time for the market to fully digest this wave of supply shock. The hedge position is a form of insurance against this kind of uncertainty.
