Brevis recently 공개ed its tokenomics model, and upon closer inspection, there's an interesting point worth noting.

A detail that many people tend to overlook is: to become a validator and participate in the protocol to earn rewards, you must either hold BREV tokens and stake them yourself or have someone delegate tokens to you. In other words, without staking, there is no qualification to participate or earn rewards.

This shifts the question from "Should I use this token" to "Do I want to make money within this ecosystem." The nature of the question is entirely different.

From a design perspective, this mechanism forcibly creates genuine participation incentives. Nodes that want to validate and earn rewards must either hold tokens themselves or seek delegation, which means the demand and usage of the token become rigid. This is not just a marketing tactic but an inherent necessity built into the economic model.
