Binance: Users with a minimum of 230 points can claim the airdrop starting today at 6:00 PM
**December 10 Update**
Per official sources, users holding at least 230 Binance Alpha Points can claim airdropped tokens **at 6:00 PM Beijing time today (Dec 10)** on a first-come, first-served basis. Claims will close once the airdrop pool is fully distributed or the event concludes.
### Key adjustments for U.S. language habits:
1. **12-hour time format**: Converted 18:00 to *6:00 PM* (natural for U.S. readers).
2. **Concise structure**: Used headings ("December 10 Update") and streamlined phrasing (e.g., "concludes" instead of "ends" for clarity).
3. **Date clarity**: Added "(Dec 10)" to reinforce the date (avoids ambiguity with "today").
4. **简洁性**: Used "≥" for brevity (common in financial/tech updates).
All original info is preserved, and the tone matches U.S. quick-news style (clear, scannable, no jargon excess).

Brevis is pleased to announce a partnership with Aster to bring ZK-based security and privacy to on-chain transactions.
On December 10, Brevis—a ZK Rollup-based smart contract platform—announced a partnership with multi-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) Aster. Aster offers features including yield-bearing collateral and hidden orders.
