From real-time proofs on Ethereum to covering all application scenarios in Web3 and Web2.

What has happened in the Ethereum ecosystem that has attracted collective retweets, support, and discussion from Vitalik Buterin, the official Ethereum Twitter account, and Ethereum OG researcher Justin Drake?

On October 15, 2025, the ZK full-chain data computation and verification platform Brevis announced that its launched zkVM Pico Prism has achieved real-time proofs on Ethereum using consumer-grade hardware: with 64 RTX 5090 graphics cards, it completed 99.6% of Ethereum L1 block proofs in 12 seconds, with 96.8% of block proof times under the 10-second standard set by the Ethereum Foundation. In tests conducted on September 1, 2025, under Ethereum's current 45M gas limit, Pico Prism achieved an average proof time of only 6.9 seconds.

In response to this release, the official Ethereum Twitter account retweeted, stating: this is a significant step towards the future of Ethereum.

From the official Ethereum Twitter account to its founder and OGs, the excitement in the community raises curiosity: what is the significant breakthrough of Pico Prism? How did Brevis achieve this important breakthrough?

On the eve of Pico Prism's announcement of achieving real-time proofs on Ethereum, Deep Tide TechFlow conducted an in-depth conversation with Brevis co-founder and CEO Michael.

When discussing the much-debated Pico Prism, Michael proudly stated:

This breakthrough not only means we are now the fastest zkVM in the world, but it also represents a significant advancement for the Ethereum community, greatly expanding Ethereum's capacity and even achieving true infinite scalability. At the same time, the realization of real-time proofs on Ethereum greatly enhances the processing efficiency and confirmation speed of the blockchain. It can be said that this is a landmark initiative for major upgrades to the Ethereum network in the coming year, and the future Ethereum may completely shift to a zkVM-centric architecture.

When discussing Brevis's differentiated advantages compared to other ZK projects, Michael highlighted three key points:

First, we place great emphasis on real-world implementation and have already achieved widespread adoption across multiple scenarios; second, we have strong future scalability to adapt to the ever-changing diverse needs; finally, we have advantages in usability and universality, where developers do not need to deeply understand the complex principles of ZK, but can simply generate proofs and enjoy powerful off-chain computing capabilities.

Lastly, as a project that aligns closely with the development achievements and Ethereum's roadmap, Michael shared his unique insights on the topic of "E Guardian":

Ethereum not only represents the most mature and robust technological path at present but also embodies a culture that is open, verifiable, and respects developers and innovation, which aligns closely with Brevis's philosophy. However, it is worth emphasizing that Brevis is not built solely for Ethereum. Our architectural design is inherently multi-chain native. We hope that in ten years, 99% of computations related to Ethereum or EVM will occur off-chain and be realized through verifiable computing via Brevis.

In this issue, let us follow the sharing of Brevis co-founder and CEO Michael to delve into the deeper industry development significance behind Brevis's multiple technological achievements, as well as Brevis's core differentiated advantages at the onset of the second wave of ZK.

The Second Wave of ZK Arrives: Brevis Moves from Experimentation to Real-World Implementation

Deep Tide TechFlow:

Thank you for your time. Please start with a self-introduction and share what Brevis is currently working on?

Michael:

Hello everyone, I am Michael, co-founder and CEO of Brevis. I am very pleased to have the opportunity to engage in deep communication with you all.

I come from a technical background, with both my undergraduate and doctoral studies focused on computer science, specializing in distributed systems and network computing. For the past seven years, I have been dedicated to building the underlying infrastructure of blockchain. Before founding Brevis, I co-founded Celer Network, a widely used multi-chain interaction and cross-chain bridging platform.

I have been involved in blockchain for quite some time, starting my research and development in 2015, which has been nearly a decade now. I have always held a fundamental aspiration to promote the large-scale application of blockchain technology.

For Brevis, we refer to it as a solution for the "Web3 Infinite Computing Layer." In simple terms, our goal is to enable blockchain applications to perform any complex computation while maintaining the same decentralization and security as the blockchain, thereby greatly expanding the blockchain's capacity.

Blockchain has always been viewed as a world computer, and there have been many attempts and advancements in blockchain scalability over the past few years, but it remains very cumbersome. The fundamental reason is that when a computation occurs on the blockchain, all nodes need to execute everything repeatedly, resulting in slow and costly on-chain computations. What Brevis is doing is to say that if you encounter a computation that is too complex in a smart contract, you can offload it to off-chain, generate a zero-knowledge proof, which is a very secure mathematical proof used to verify the correctness and reliability of this off-chain computation. Then, the on-chain contract does not need to perform the complex computation itself but only needs to quickly verify this mathematical proof, which preserves the decentralization and security of the blockchain while allowing applications to achieve traditional computing performance.

Currently, Brevis is no longer an experimental project; we have already served many leading DeFi, infrastructure, stablecoin, and other projects, including PancakeSwap, Metamask, Linea, Uniswap, and more. We have generated over 100 million ZK proofs on the mainnet, with the total number of users from our partners exceeding 190,000, helping to grow approximately $4 billion in TVL and distributing over $300 million in verifiable reward computations.

Overall, Brevis aims to enable smart contracts in the Web3 scenario to possess infinite computing capabilities for the first time, transforming the blockchain from being able to perform only simple computations and execute simple financial rules into a truly powerful intelligent system. This is what we aim to achieve.

Deep Tide TechFlow:

We know that Brevis's exploration of ZK began in 2023, when the ZK field was still in its early stages. How did you choose this track at that time?

Also, some leading ZK-related projects like Starknet and zkSync seem to be less popular now, even leading the market to be pessimistic about ZK-related projects. Has this phenomenon affected you? Finally, why did you persist in this direction?

Michael:

In my view, the development of any technological wave follows a rhythm. Generally, the first wave of applications for new technologies is very limited, while the second wave of application scenarios greatly expands.

We can look back at the history of every new technology on the internet, all of which have gone through such a process. For example, the mobile internet experienced two waves: from the initial simple applications to the entire internet moving to mobile, including the rise of short videos. The development of AI has also gone through a similar process, initially solving only specific small problems, and it was not until the explosion of computing power that new cycles like large language models (LLMs) emerged.

ZK is no different. Around 2021, ZK became a hot topic in the blockchain field, but at that time, its actual application scenarios were very limited, mainly focused on ZK-based layer 2 networks. We believe that while ZK as an L2 solution is a good application case, its application scenarios are very limited and face competition from Optimistic Rollups.

Until 2023, ZK entered a cooling period, but for teams like ours that focus on infrastructure, this is not a critical issue. We do not simply see ourselves as a ZK project; we are not driven by technology to create products but rather by demand. We want to solve real problems in the industry, and ZK happens to be an effective solution for these problems. The problem we aim to solve is how to make large-scale computations verifiable and executable on the blockchain. ZK is not the goal; it is a means.

The main difference between us and other ZK projects is that we can truly bring ZK into real scenarios and use cases. For example, at PancakeSwap, we found the need for projects to provide customized experiences for different users, especially the need to offer different fee rates based on trading volume for large traders. This demand cannot be realized in traditional smart contracts. We used ZK technology to allow large traders to generate a proof regarding trading volume, and then the smart contract executes different fee rates based on this proof, thus achieving differentiated user experiences.

In our collaboration with Euler, the project aimed not just to provide simple lending incentives but to better allocate rewards through very complex models based on time-weighted factors, which was previously impossible to implement on smart contracts. Now we have further solved this through ZK.

Another example is the Linea platform, which implemented a complex, time-weighted incentive distribution model through ZK, ensuring compliance, security, and transparency in incentive distribution. This incentive distribution scheme could not be realized through traditional smart contracts, but through ZK technology, we successfully met this demand.

From these practical applications, we can see that ZK technology can not only solve complex computation problems but also help achieve more customized services that meet user needs. We already have thousands of users across multiple fields using these systems.

So we are actually a demand-driven project that develops product technology based on needs. We believe that only in this way can we bring ZK into broader application scenarios and promote the arrival of the ZK 2.0 era.

Real Applications, Infinite Scalability, Usability and Universality: Three Key Differentiators of Brevis

Deep Tide TechFlow:

ZK has a high understanding threshold, and there are other ZK projects in the industry besides Brevis. Compared to other ZK projects, if you had to use three keywords to help readers quickly understand Brevis's differentiated advantages, what would those three keywords be?

Michael:

First, we place great emphasis on real-world implementation. Many ZK projects remain at the academic concept stage or focus on application scenarios that are not closely related to users. From the very beginning, we have been driven by demand, and we already have multiple application scenarios handling thousands of user requests daily, effectively addressing a large number of real needs. Our current focus is on whether ZK can successfully launch on the mainnet and handle millions of proofs daily, rather than merely discussing the potential of the technology. Therefore, our core goal is to serve actual users through ZK technology, ensuring that the technology is implemented and applied in the real world.

For example, when we implemented zkVM, our approach was not just to build a zkVM that can compute everything, but to ensure it can support the needs of projects like PancakeSwap, MetaMask, and Linea. Thus, we designed a very modular architecture that can integrate different Coprocessors based on various application scenarios. This is a major distinction for us; we have both a VM and various Coprocessors that can be integrated into the VM to handle application scenario needs, truly transforming ZK technology from theoretical research into productivity.

The second distinction is strong future scalability. We have not merely built a single coprocessor or zkVM; instead, we have designed a highly modular system architecture that ensures it can adapt to ever-changing future demands. Currently, our architecture includes two core modules: Pico zkVM and ZK Coprocessor. The Pico zkVM is responsible for verifying the correctness of computations, while the ZK Coprocessor can handle more complex application needs, such as accessing blockchain historical data through smart contracts or verifying users' past behaviors.

With this architecture, we can support applications such as data privacy and blockchain historical verification, and quickly integrate new technological modules. We are currently developing ZK-TLS and plan to launch it soon. At the same time, we are exploring AI-related ZK Coprocessors. This highly scalable design ensures that our system can adapt to future multidimensional application scenarios.

The third distinction is usability and universality. We hope our system architecture can be widely used by developers, not just those who are experts in cryptography or ZK technology. Our design goal is to allow developers to engage with ZK technology without needing to deeply understand its complex principles; they should simply be able to generate proofs easily and let the blockchain verify these proofs at low cost.

To achieve this goal, we have built a technical architecture based on zkVM, allowing developers to write familiar Rust programs without needing to learn complex zero-knowledge proof development tools. This design lowers the barrier for developers, enabling them to easily integrate their applications with ZK technology and enjoy powerful off-chain computing capabilities.

The Infinite Computing Layer: Bringing Infinite Application Innovation Scenarios to Brevis

Deep Tide TechFlow:

Recently, due to the strong performance of ZEC, people have started to pay attention to privacy and ZK-related tokens again. You mentioned earlier that early ZK was relatively limited. Compared to older ZK narratives like ZEC, what upgrades does Brevis's ZK technology offer?

Michael:

First, let's talk about "Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK)," which is commonly abbreviated as "零知识证明" in Chinese, but its full meaning is "Zero-Knowledge Succinct Proofs."

ZK technology is actually applied in two main areas: one is privacy protection, and the other is succinctness. In the privacy domain, it mainly ensures that transactions and data are not visible to outsiders, guaranteeing data confidentiality. In terms of succinctness, ZK technology allows us to move complex computational tasks off-chain, generating a succinct proof that the blockchain can then verify, significantly enhancing the blockchain's computational capacity.

In the blockchain field, the application of ZK is now more focused on this succinct proof method. For example, we can help PancakeSwap verify whether users have made certain transactions or prove the authenticity of certain data on cross-chain platforms. This cycle of generating proofs through off-chain computation and then verifying them on-chain allows the blockchain to handle more complex computational tasks without sacrificing decentralization and security.

In terms of privacy protection, the advantages of ZK are very clear. For example, we recently collaborated with Kaito to launch a ZK-based Yapper leaderboard feature. As we all know, the current "mouth-rolling" culture is very popular, with many people posting tweets to improve their rankings and earn rewards. The problem is that many people claim to be large traders with significant trading volumes, but how can they prove this? If users publicly disclose their wallet addresses, they may expose their privacy and become targets.

To solve this problem, we designed a new method with Kaito, allowing users to prove they own a wallet that meets specific conditions without disclosing their wallet address. For instance, a user can generate a proof indicating they hold $1 million of a certain token without revealing their wallet address. This method protects user privacy while proving their identity or reputation, thereby increasing their weight on the leaderboard.

The privacy protection of ZK technology is not limited to this identity proof application; it can also be widely applied in other scenarios, such as in the DeFi field. For example, users can prove through ZK that they are long-term holders of a specific token or active traders of a certain DeFi protocol. In future DeFi projects, developers can offer customized incentives for such users, such as more favorable lending rates or rewards, thereby enhancing user stickiness.

Additionally, the application of ZK in perpetual options exchanges is also a very typical example. For instance, in decentralized exchanges like Hyperliquid, users' trading, order books, and positions are usually public, which can lead to "point attacks" or malicious attacks. In centralized exchanges, although dark pools protect trading information, decentralized exchanges face the challenge of balancing privacy and transparency.

Through ZK technology, we can achieve privacy protection similar to centralized exchanges without needing to disclose users' specific trading data or order details. Each transaction, each order match, and each user's balance can be verified for correctness through ZK without exposing detailed user data. We are collaborating with some leading perpetual options platforms to prepare for the launch of this feature.

Finally, while ZK technology initially demonstrated strong potential in privacy protection, it now represents a new paradigm of infinite computing layers at Brevis, playing an important role in enhancing blockchain computational capacity. In the future, we will see ZK technology playing a greater role in the combination of privacy and computational capability, driving the arrival of the ZK 2.0 era.

Deep Tide TechFlow:

As the "Infinite Computing Layer," how should we understand the "infinity" here? In what specific dimensions does this "infinity" manifest?

Michael:

First, Brevis possesses infinite computational capacity.

Let's return to the very basic question: the limitations of blockchain computation. The traditional blockchain computation model has a core bottleneck, which is the cost of computation. In traditional blockchains, thousands of nodes must verify the same computation, and all computations must be executed repeatedly until a consensus is reached. While this method ensures the security of the blockchain, imagine that even a simple calculation like 1+1 is repeated a million times; the cost would be very high. This is the core issue of blockchain computation, where the complexity of computation is proportional to its cost.

Brevis's advantage lies in its advanced ZK (Zero-Knowledge) verifiable computation model, which allows computational tasks to be completed off-chain. Only one node needs to perform the complex computation and generate a succinct zero-knowledge proof; other nodes only need to verify this proof, and verifying this zero-knowledge proof is very simple. For example, a complex computation that would normally require every node to participate, leading to costs that are multiples of the number of nodes, can, through Brevis, have verification costs that may only be a millionth of the original computation cost.

This approach significantly reduces the complexity and cost of computation within the blockchain, enabling it to handle more complex tasks and solving the problem of limited computational capacity. Thus, the blockchain is no longer constrained by traditional limitations such as gas, TPS, and block time, allowing it to truly achieve what is referred to as "infinite computational capacity."

Secondly, Brevis has infinite application scenarios. Our official application page is very rich, including cold starts for stablecoins, blockchain growth, RWA, perpetual DEX, InfoFi, and extending to areas like MEV, Rollup, and smart DeFi, all of which Brevis can provide strong computational support for. Through core products like Pico zkVM and ZK Coprocessor, we enable verifiable computation technology to be widely applied in these scenarios.

Thirdly, we place great importance on developer experience, pursuing an infinitely low-threshold development experience. Traditional ZK application development often requires a deep understanding of cryptography, circuit design, and proof systems, which can be very complex for many developers. In contrast, Brevis provides developers with a very high-level abstraction through zkVM. Developers only need to use familiar programming languages, such as Rust or Go, to write the desired logic without needing to understand complex ZK principles and development tools.

This makes developing ZK applications simpler and more efficient, while also allowing more developers to quickly get started in this field. We can see a multitude of different application scenarios because Brevis makes developers' work more free and flexible, greatly enhancing development efficiency.

Deep Tide TechFlow:

What changes can this "infinity" bring to Web3 and even Web2?

Michael:

From a macro perspective, privacy technology not only addresses performance issues, but its deeper role lies in the complete transformation of trust models. The computational architecture of the traditional internet has always been centralized, with all data processing and computation completed by centralized entities, leaving users to trust these centralized computation methods. While this model is effective, it also has many limitations.

The emergence of Web3 seeks to disrupt this centralized trust structure, promoting decentralized computation and asset management. However, decentralization itself also brings performance challenges, as the complexity of computation increases the costs of decentralization, which has become a bottleneck for the development of Web3. The emergence of Brevis effectively combines decentralization with powerful computational capabilities, bringing an infinite computing layer to Web3 and resolving the contradiction between decentralized trust and computational capacity.

For example, existing smart contracts, despite being called "smart," are actually quite limited. A simple example is that smart contracts cannot access users' historical transaction data or execute complex logical calculations. Calculating a user's contribution index to the ecosystem through multiple protocols is something that cannot be accomplished on the blockchain. However, Brevis's infinite computing layer can break through these limitations, enabling smart contracts to truly possess intelligence and support dynamic incentives, personalized rates, time-weighted rewards, and other functionalities that were previously unattainable.

This means that Web3 is no longer just a system that handles simple transactions; it can support more complex application logic and even integrate advanced features like smart decision-making and artificial intelligence, truly realizing a decentralized intelligent on-chain world.

In addition to Web3, Brevis also has significant potential in Web2. For instance, most AI model training we currently see relies on public domain data, such as data obtained from public platforms like Reddit and Google. While this data is widespread, its value pales in comparison to private domain data. However, there is currently no effective way to manage and trade this private domain data. Users cannot directly hand over their data to others, as it involves privacy concerns.

Through Brevis's verifiable computation, users can prove the validity of certain data without exposing specific details. For example, if I want to know someone's trading activity over the past month but do not want to reveal the details of each transaction, Brevis can use ZK to verify the authenticity of this data while ensuring user privacy is not compromised. This provides a new data flow method for AI model training and changes the traditional trust model of data usage.

Moreover, decentralized AI applications can also benefit from verifiable computation. Suppose we have a medical AI model used to analyze medical images and determine the severity of a condition. If the output of this model comes from an unverified low-quality model, users cannot trust the result. However, through Brevis, we can ensure that every AI model's output can be verified, ensuring it comes from a high-quality model. This approach makes decentralized AI not just an idea but a reality that can provide high-quality services.

The core role of Brevis is to break down the trust barriers between traditional Web2 and Web3, allowing data and computation to be verified and processed in a decentralized environment while ensuring privacy. This is not only a technological breakthrough for Web3 but also provides a new trust model and data usage method for Web2.

Whether it is AI model training, decentralized finance, or the execution of smart contracts, Brevis's technology is changing the entire way data circulates and is computed. We are moving towards a more decentralized and intelligent future, with Brevis providing strong computational support and privacy protection mechanisms for this transformation.

Deep Tide TechFlow:

Among the current series of partners, could you please help readers understand the changes brought by Brevis through specific ecological cases?

Michael:

I mentioned many earlier, so now let's do a simple classification of ecological applications.

First, in the smart DeFi field, we can help different DeFi protocols dynamically adjust the overall DeFi user experience and value system based on users' past historical behaviors or changes in the entire market. For example, PancakeSwap has launched a new trading model based on Brevis's zero-knowledge proof technology, allowing users to generate their own trading volume proofs to receive different levels of fee discounts; users holding CAKE can also enjoy additional reductions in specific trading pools. We are also collaborating with many DeFi protocols to make the DeFi experience more personalized and dynamic.

Next, we will launch the Gas Fee Rebase project with Uniswap, allowing users to generate proofs based on their gas consumption in the trading pool and receive rewards.

The second case is the cold start of stablecoins, helping stablecoins deeply integrate into the DeFi ecosystem, which requires a continuous user incentive system. We are collaborating with partners like Usual Money, OpenEden, and MetaMask to achieve sustained growth of stablecoins by building a decentralized incentive system. Users can automatically receive incentives based on their historical behavior after providing liquidity or trading in different protocols, achieving a transparent, secure, compliant, and verifiable distribution mechanism.

Additionally, our collaboration also reflects the growth of the blockchain itself. Effective blockchain reward distribution is a crucial driver of sustained growth, and Brevis can make rewards transparent, verifiable, and automated. We are also working with Kernel to achieve secure proof and reward distribution for cross-chain assets through Brevis.

The fourth category is the privacy aspect we discussed earlier, such as our collaboration with Kaito in the InfoFi track, which allows users to prove themselves while protecting their privacy. Brevis is also very useful in the AI field.

It can be said that the scenarios where Brevis can be applied are numerous, and Brevis has achieved real-world implementation in many application scenarios through collaboration with many partners.

Pico Prism Ethereum Real-Time Proof: A Significant Milestone in Ethereum's Shift to zkVM

Deep Tide TechFlow:

In the process of realizing the "Infinite Computing Layer," what substantial technological breakthroughs has Brevis achieved? Could you please share some key developments with us?

Michael:

Of course, over the past one to two years, we have made some very important breakthroughs in technology. The most noteworthy is the recently launched Prism version of Pico zkVM, which is a very powerful zero-knowledge proof virtual machine. It can prove any computation, regardless of its complexity. This is one of our core products, enabling any computation to be verified through ZK.

Especially with the recent launch of the Pico Prism multi-GPU version, we have achieved a 99.6% real-time proof coverage of Ethereum mainnet blocks on consumer-grade hardware, with an average proof time of only 6.9 seconds, which is 70% faster than the current second-fastest zkVM solution, and costs have been reduced by 50%. Overall performance efficiency has improved fourfold, which is a very significant breakthrough for us.

Why is this technological breakthrough so important?

This breakthrough not only means that we are now the fastest zkVM in the world, capable of generating proofs at a lower cost and higher efficiency, but more importantly, it represents a significant advancement for the Ethereum community.

As a decentralized, security-first solution, Ethereum has long faced significant bottlenecks in scalability and performance. The traditional Ethereum network consists of thousands of nodes, each needing to compute the same content. To expand block capacity, the computational load on nodes increases linearly, leading to skyrocketing costs.

Through verifiable computation, our model has undergone a fundamental change. Now, only one node is needed to generate a ZK proof for a block, and this proof can be verified by millions of nodes across the network, with the computational power required for verification being only a fraction of the block's computation itself.

The special aspect of ZK is that no matter how complex the computation task is, the time to generate the proof does not increase with the scale of the task. When we handle large amounts of complex data, the required proof time remains almost constant.

With this technological feature, we can immediately enhance Ethereum's scalability by 10 times or even 100 times. It's very simple; by adding more GPUs to the node generating the proof, we can significantly increase transaction processing capacity. We estimate that we can achieve a 1000-fold improvement for Ethereum in the short term.

Additionally, since Pico zkVM supports multi-GPU parallel computing, we can further enhance the computational capacity of the entire Ethereum network through optimization at the network level. This means that the blockchain can handle higher transaction volumes without adding a large amount of extra computational resources, even achieving true infinite scalability.

Real-time proof is a key point for the future development of Ethereum. Real-time generation of proofs means that once a block is generated, we can instantly verify its validity. This greatly enhances the processing efficiency and confirmation speed of the blockchain. It also paves the way for Ethereum's upgrade, as the future Ethereum may completely shift to a zkVM-centric architecture, replacing the existing repetitive computation methods. In the coming year, this will become a landmark initiative for significant upgrades to the Ethereum network.

Modularity is another major highlight of our technology. Through a powerful plugin system, we can implement various specific functional extensions based on zkVM. For example, we have launched the ZK Data Code Processor, which can give smart contracts memory capabilities. Traditional smart contracts lack the ability to access historical data, but with this coprocessor, smart contracts can backtrack and analyze historical data, enabling them to execute more complex logic.

This modular design allows developers to flexibly expand functionalities based on different needs while greatly improving computational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In simple terms, through the ZK Data Code Processor, we can enhance the efficiency of smart contracts when processing complex data like transaction history by 100 times, while reducing costs several times.

TGE is Approaching: Hope for 99% of EVM Computation to Occur Off-Chain with On-Chain Verification

Deep Tide TechFlow:

With TGE approaching, Brevis has also launched the Brevis Proving Grounds event, where users can earn Brevis Sparks by completing tasks, which is also an important way to determine TGE airdrop distribution. As an ordinary user, how can one participate more effectively?

Michael:

Okay, first regarding our Brevis Proving Grounds event, the rules are actually very clear. We hope that through this event, users can truly understand ZK technology and the boundaries of verifiable computation capabilities, rather than just completing a simple test task.

We do not want users to merely click a few buttons; instead, we hope that by participating, they can genuinely experience practical applications like smart DeFi and reward distribution, and feel the real benefits brought by ZK technology. Through this approach, we want users to understand how our services are built and serve the entire ecosystem.

In this process, our goal is to explore the potential of ZK technology together with the community, ensuring that everyone is not just completing a test task but truly experiencing the market fit of Brevis's products. This event is different from traditional testnet activities; it is more of an in-depth experience of ZK technology capabilities.

Deep Tide TechFlow:

With the arrival of TGE, Brevis will also enter a new stage of development. Could you please share what the focus of Brevis's work will be moving forward?

Michael:

On one hand, we will continue to expand the developer ecosystem and partner ecosystem. We currently have many developers and partners planning to use ZK or Brevis's PICO, ZK Coprocessor, and other technologies to build various applications.

On the other hand, another important goal of ours is to launch the validator network. We do not intend to bind to a specific chain or perform all validations, but rather hope to decentralize the entire ZK verification process and build a distributed validation network, which is a core direction of our work moving forward.

Deep Tide TechFlow:

It seems that your team's focus has always been on EVM or Ethereum. Are you personally a loyal "E Guardian"? How do you view the future of Ethereum and EVM?

Michael:

Much of the work done by Brevis, including Real-Time Ethereum Proving, is related to Ethereum's future roadmap, largely because Ethereum currently represents the most mature and robust technological path, and it is not only a public chain but also embodies a culture of openness, verifiability, and respect for developers and innovation, which aligns closely with Brevis's philosophy.

From a technical perspective, EVM has been around for ten years and remains the most vibrant execution environment in the blockchain industry. Even chains like BNB Chain and various Rollups are built on top of EVM. Each technological iteration has not completely overturned the old system but has evolved on the foundation of EVM, which I believe is a key reason for Ethereum's sustainable innovation.

At Brevis, our goal is to leverage the ecosystem on EVM to achieve sustainable innovation. We hope to bring new changes in scalability and computational models through our technical architecture while being well compatible with the existing ecosystem. For example, decentralized exchanges like PancakeSwap and Uniswap, although they use different technological architectures, ultimately rely on EVM chains for settlement.

There is a significant demand for zkVM from Ethereum, especially in promoting privacy protection and verifiable computation. From the perspective of clients and partners, if the underlying Ethereum network shifts to a zkVM-driven model, it will become the largest client of zkVM technology. Therefore, it is natural for Brevis to focus on Ethereum.

However, it is worth emphasizing that Brevis is not built solely for Ethereum. Our architectural design is inherently multi-chain and can support various non-EVM chains, including Mone, Solana, Cosmos, and even any new VM systems. Our core feature is that a large amount of computation occurs off-chain, with only the relevant data needing to be verified on-chain, but the part that is ultimately verified on-chain is very simple. We only need to adapt the on-chain verification contract according to different blockchains, allowing Brevis to easily be compatible with different blockchains.

I believe many "E Guardians" are builders pursuing open standards and long-termism. Spiritually, I think we might be "E Guardians," but in terms of specific implementation paths and future large-scale adoption, we are a very open platform.

Finally, I personally remain very optimistic about the future of Ethereum. I believe Ethereum is a demonstrative representative of security and innovation in Web3. Brevis hopes to empower Ethereum, gradually transforming it from a platform where all logic is executed on-chain to a platform that purely focuses on verification. We hope that in ten years, 99% of computations related to Ethereum or EVM will occur off-chain and be realized through verifiable computation by Brevis.
