Brevis ZK's pre-mainnet "Proving Grounds" campaign (launched Oct 2025) rewarded early users with Sparks points through daily check-ins, social tasks, referrals, and on-chain interactions with Brevis-powered dApps (e.g., Usual, Euler, Linea). These points determined eligibility for a BREV token airdrop (3.5% of 1B supply) after Jan 2026 mainnet launch. Value for early users: Potentially significant, as BREV is now listed/tradable with market-driven returns (allocations vary by activity). Cautions: Claim deadline Feb 5, 2026; token volatile; no fixed rewards (sybil-filtered); tax implications; crypto risks apply.

Bitcoin miners' average production cost is $102,000 per BTC (Jan 2026), above spot price ($90,000–$91,000), fueling intense selling and capitulation. Recent hashrate declines, difficulty drops (2.6%), and high outflows indicate miner surrender—historically a contrarian bottom signal. In price rebounds: Rising BTC above breakeven reduces forced selling; inefficient miners exit, efficient ones hold/accumulate, easing supply pressure and enabling sustained rallies. Cycle Bottom Judgment Framework: Peak miner outflows + hashrate/difficulty drop → Capitulation underway. Hashrate stabilization & recovery (e.g., Hash Ribbons buy signal). Price exceeds avg. mining cost; selling subsides. Miners resume accumulation. Post-capitulation periods often precede strong rebounds (77% historical positive 180-day returns).

DAWN node's airdrop contributes to DePIN by incentivizing users to run broadband nodes, sharing unused bandwidth to build a decentralized internet infrastructure. This reduces deployment costs by 80-90%, expands coverage to rural and emerging markets, and rewards participants with tokens for validating network performance, fostering user-owned connectivity on Solana. Network expansion risks include: Privacy leaks from node-collected data entering AI pipelines. Malicious nodes spreading false data or fake hotspots, degrading reliability and enabling reward scams. Uneven coverage due to user dependency, potentially creating connectivity gaps. Regulatory hurdles in broadband sharing, risking legal compliance issues.
