In the long journey of blockchain technology development, the trilemma - scalability, security, and decentralization - has always been a core challenge. As a key technology to solve this dilemma, zero-knowledge proofs are attracting a large amount of capital investment.
Brevis, as a co-processor based on zero-knowledge proofs, is becoming a key innovator in the blockchain infrastructure field with its groundbreaking verifiable computing capabilities.
01 Technical Breakthrough: How does Brevis achieve "Off-chain Computation, On-chain Verification"?
Brevis is essentially a ZK co-processor or computing network, whose core innovation is to allow complex data processing tasks to be completed off-chain, only returning verified proofs to the Blockchain, thereby reducing the workload on the Blockchain.
Traditional Blockchain operations require each node to execute and verify every transaction, leading to a large amount of redundant calculations and severely limiting network throughput. Brevis breaks this bottleneck by migrating data-intensive, high-cost computations off-chain to a high-performance, low-cost off-chain engine.
As of October 2025, Brevis has demonstrated impressive ecological growth metrics: it has created over 37.5 million zero-knowledge proofs, processed 52,420 API requests, and attracted 69,153 unique addresses to participate in its network.
It is worth noting that more than 23 mainstream dApps have integrated the Brevis infrastructure.
02 Pico Prism: A Technological Revolution for Real-Time Proof of Ethereum
In October 2025, Brevis achieved a breakthrough in the industry, with its Pico Prism zkVM becoming the first product in the world to achieve 99.6% proof coverage of the current Ethereum mainnet blocks, while reducing hardware costs by 50%.
This breakthrough means that Brevis has moved from the theoretical research stage to the production-ready infrastructure stage, eliminating the key bottleneck in Ethereum’s transition to the zero-knowledge verification base layer.
Specifically, the Pico Prism can average the proof of 45 million gas Blocks in 6.9 seconds, far exceeding the competition’s proof coverage rate of 40.9% for 36 million gas Blocks.
Achieving proof within 10 seconds with hardware costs below $100,000, while Brevis is currently only 2.2 percentage points away from this goal.
03 Capital Favor: Why Do Top Investment Institutions Favor Brevis?
Brevis successfully completed a $7.5 million seed round financing in November 2024, co-led by Polychain Capital and Binance Labs.
Well-known investment institutions such as IOSG Ventures, Nomad Capital, Bankless Ventures, and HashKey Capital also participated in this round of financing.
It is worth noting that this round of financing is in the form of token financing, demonstrating institutional capital’s strong confidence in its technological path.
Against the backdrop of the continuous rise in popularity of the ZK track, the fully diluted valuations of similar technology projects typically range from hundreds of millions to tens of billions of dollars, and Brevis’s financing scale provides ample funding support for its subsequent development.
04 Ecological Applications: How does Brevis empower real business scenarios?
Brevis is not just a technical concept, but an infrastructure that has already been put into actual production. The platform has generated over 147 million zero-knowledge proofs and distributed $238 million in rewards through a trustless verification mechanism, serving over 195,000 users.
Currently, Brevis has integrated more than 20 mainstream protocols, including BNB Chain, PancakeSwap, Linea, Uniswap, Usual, Euler, MetaMask, etc.
These integrations showcase the diverse applications of Brevis in real-world scenarios:
- Personalized DeFi Experience: Decentralized exchanges can now offer volume-based discounts and loyalty reward programs, which are nearly impossible to achieve in traditional on-chain environments.
- Trustless reward system: The protocol can mathematically guarantee fairness and securely distribute hundreds of millions of dollars in rewards.
- Historical data access capability: Smart contracts can now query and verify historical Blockchain data without trust, greatly expanding the possibilities of applications.
05 Resonance with V God: How does Brevis fit into the Ethereum roadmap?
On October 15, 2025, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly posted on the X platform, expressing his support for Brevis: "I am happy to see Brevis’s Pico Prism officially enter the ZK-EVM verification field, marking significant progress in ZK-EVM verification speed and diversity."
Vitalik’s support is not accidental, mainly due to three reasons:
Effectiveness of the technical solution: Brevis’s technical solution is 3.4 times faster than traditional methods, and hardware costs are halved, which directly addresses the redundant computation problem of Ethereum node validators.
Highly aligned with the Ethereum roadmap: Brevis, as a ZK co-processor network, allows dApps to access historical on-chain data, perform off-chain computations, and generate verifiable proofs, which perfectly aligns with Vitalik’s proposal for 2025. Ethereum Roadmap.
Real adoption and ecological impact: Brevis has created over 37.5 million zero-knowledge proofs, attracting 69,153 unique addresses to participate in its network, and over 23 mainstream dApps have integrated its infrastructure.
06 How to participate in the Brevis ecosystem?
For ordinary users, they can currently interact with the Brevis ecosystem by participating in community tasks.
Brevis has launched the "Proof of Work" event, and users can participate by visiting the official website.
The event is divided into two phases:
- Phase 1: Basic Training (October 13, 2025 to November 2, 2025) includes social tasks such as daily check-ins, liking/sharing posts, inviting friends, etc.
- Stage Two: Hands-on Operation (starting on November 3) involves real on-chain interactions with dApps, such as DEX trading and lending, to earn more Sparks points.
For developers, Brevis provides SDK and Pico zkVM, allowing developers to write code in Rust along with a Solidity callback to build ZK applications.
Future Outlook
As zero-knowledge proof technology rapidly transitions from theoretical concepts to production-level applications, Brevis has established a significant technological barrier with its performance advantages on Pico zkVM—70-155% faster than competitors.
More than 23 mainstream dApps have integrated the Brevis infrastructure, including well-known projects such as PancakeSwap, Kernel, and Kwenta. These collaborations are not only a technical validation but also a guarantee of future revenue sources.
The blockchain world is shifting from pure logical execution to a verifiable computing paradigm, and Brevis is the leader of this transformation.
