## Summary

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to recover BNB that is locked in the Venus protocol after participating in the Airdrop Festival web3 campaign. The process involves repaying a USDT loan taken as collateral to release the BNB, then withdrawing the BNB from Venus.

### Key Points

- **Problem: BNB Drop and Loan Collateral** [00:01] — Users who participated in the Airdrop Festival and put BNB as collateral are facing losses as BNB price drops. They must repay the USDT loan to recover their BNB, otherwise the platform will sell the BNB to cover the loan.
- **Solution: Repay Loan to Recover BNB** [00:14] — To recover BNB, users need to go to the campaign's loans section on the Venus website, find the 'amortize' option, and repay the borrowed USDT amount (e.g., 100.50475). After repaying, the loan is cleared, and the BNB collateral is released.
- **Verification: Loan Cleared and BNB Released** [00:54] — After repaying, refresh the tab to confirm no loans remain and the BNB guarantee (e.g., 0.22 BNB worth $134) is still there. Then select BNB, set the maximum insurance amount, and click 'withdraw' to return the BNB from Venus to your normal BNB balance.
- **Final Step: Withdraw BNB** [01:22] — Click 'withdraw' to complete the process. Note that you need some BNB in your account to pay for transaction fees.

### Conclusion

By following these steps, users can successfully reclaim their BNB locked in Venus from the Airdrop Festival web3 campaign, avoiding liquidation and securing their assets.
