Brevis is a zero-knowledge (ZK) full-chain data proof platform established in 2023. In simple terms, it enables various applications to access and compute data across chains in a completely trustless manner. The platform has a lot of potential—use cases include data-driven DeFi, cross-chain bridging, on-chain user acquisition, zkDID, and social account abstraction.

In terms of funding, it has raised $7.5 million, and the technical team behind it is quite strong. Dong Mo is a key figure in this project; he was previously a venture partner at IOSG Ventures and a co-founder of Celer Network. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with deep expertise in formal network verification and is also an expert in applying algorithmic game theory to protocol design. The chief scientist, Alan Li, has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. This team covers both academic and engineering backgrounds.

Looking at the tokenomics design, BREV has a total supply of 1 billion tokens, allocated as follows:
- Ecosystem development accounts for 37%, mainly for R&D, strategic partnerships, market building, and long-term expansion
- Community incentives account for 32.2%, targeting validators, stakers, and community contributors, including an initial airdrop
- Team allocation accounts for 20%, for core developers and contributors
- Investors account for 10.8%, allocated to seed round investors

Regarding unlocking mechanisms, ecosystem development and community incentives will be linearly unlocked over 24 months after TGE, with 14.50% and 10.50% respectively unlocked at TGE for immediate circulation. The portions allocated to the team and investors will be fully locked for the first year after TGE, then linearly released over the following 24 months. The airdrop application channel is already prepared.

Dong Mo's team really has some strength, with alumni from MIT and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign... However, a funding scale of 7.5 million USD isn't considered large, and the amount in the ZK track is a bit modest. Has the airdrop started? Hurry up and apply, don't let the bots that hunt for free rewards snatch it again. I'm just worried that the cross-chain data proof thing might still be far from landing, and it could turn into another story of an academic genius product crashing. The token distribution seems relatively restrained, with 37% for ecosystem development, which isn't particularly aggressive... but the circulating supply at TGE still needs to be looked at carefully.

Dong Mo is a pretty good choice, co-founder of Celer... The token unlock design looks quite reasonable, without the frantic dumping vibe from VC investors.

Dong Mo, this guy is impressive. Coming out of Celer and still managing to create something like this, ZK cross-chain is indeed a direction. However, with a supply of 1 billion BREV... it's still a bit too much.

Ecology 37%, Community 32%... This allocation looks quite balanced, but the key still depends on how the validator incentives are implemented. There are many lessons from history; the UNI airdrop was complicated later because the governance mechanism was unclear. Dong Mo's background is indeed strong, but in the ZK cross-chain track, Axiom is already ahead. Differentiated mechanism design is the key to survival.

Dong Mo is the right choice for this person. With Celer's experience on display, what new tricks can they pull this time? Cross-chain data proof seems promising, but I wonder if it will get stuck in practice... A funding scale of 7.5 million USD is average; these days, it doesn't seem enough to burn through. Is the airdrop ready? I need to check if I'm on the list haha. Token allocation: 37% to the ecosystem. This ratio is quite considerate, unlike some projects that immediately dump on investors. The ZK full-chain technology definitely has imagination; just worried it might be another hype, let's wait and see how the mainnet performs. Team lock-up starts at one year, at least indicating they're not here to cut the leeks... right?

Dong Mo, this guy definitely has some skills. With backgrounds at IOSG and Celer, and publishing so many papers, can he really be just bluffing... The ZK cross-chain area still seems to have some potential. Is the airdrop application open? Let's first see if there are any tricks before making a decision. 7.5 million in funding isn't particularly large, honestly, it mainly depends on whether they can actually deliver on this project. The token unlock mechanism looks okay; I like that the team is locked for the first year.

Dong Mo's moves are always different, MIT paired with a Ph.D. from Illinois—how can this combination not be impressive? The ZK cross-chain track has been promising for a long time; it all depends on who can make it happen. Token distribution is relatively fair, with the majority going to the ecosystem, not the kind of scheme where investors get cut out like chives. Has the airdrop application opened? I need to check quickly. 750 million in funding is a bit low; how did a project of this level not secure more money? Wait, this tokenomics... investor lock-up in the first year? Something's off. 24 months linear release, another two years to wait? Still the same old story. zkDID really has potential, but I’m worried it’s just another PPT project.

Dong Mo's team is indeed capable, with a PhD from MIT + Champagne School, and seems to have a solid technical foundation. I just don't know how the actual implementation progress of this ZK full-chain data proof is going.

Dong Mo, this lineup is indeed strong, but the ZK full-chain track is also a tough fight, and whether they can break through depends on their execution. The airdrop circulation ratio isn't particularly aggressive; the team locking for a year is somewhat acceptable. By the way, a $7.5 million funding compared to other infrastructure projects, it seems like they need to get competitive right from the start.
