Did some more research on @brevis_zk, and the bullish point right now is its position in the zkVM narrative. Ethereum's scaling direction is all about fully embracing ZK, and many zkVM teams are working hard to meet the standards set by the foundation. From the data, Brevis currently stands out as the most advanced zkVM project for real-time proof on Ethereum, which is why Vitalik specifically tweeted about it. In simple terms, just five words: worth focusing on. Here’s some content I came across while reading up on it—check it out if you’re interested. ▪️Blockchain Background Ethereum was originally envisioned as the "world computer," but it’s both expensive and slow to operate. The main reason is that every transaction on the chain has to be independently computed and verified by every network node. This means each transaction undergoes thousands of "repeated executions," leading to high operational costs. To ensure that regular nodes can keep up with the network, Ethereum has to maintain relatively small block sizes because: If block size increases → each node has to process more transactions → computational load on each node increases → hardware requirements go up → validation becomes centralized. This slows down the network’s transaction processing speed. So, the root cause of Ethereum being both expensive and slow lies in the fact that "all nodes" must "repeatedly execute every transaction." ▪️Brevis: Off-chain computation, on-chain verification To scale Ethereum, Layer 2 solutions were introduced: L2 moves computation off-chain and only sends the results back to the Ethereum mainnet for verification, avoiding the downside of on-chain repeated execution. What Brevis aims to do is essentially similar: Have a single prover perform computations off-chain, generate a ZK proof, and then send it back on-chain to verify the correctness of the computation. It’s worth noting that Ethereum’s founder, Vitalik, has specifically mentioned this project. In July, the Ethereum Foundation published an article stating that it is "fully embracing ZK technology, supporting L1 zkVM teams, and aiming to enable Ethereum mainnet to run and verify ZK proofs within a year." zkVM will be one of the main directions for Ethereum scaling in the future. Similar projects like Succinct and Boundless have already achieved high valuations as zkVM projects. Right now, all the teams are competing to meet the zkVM standards set by the foundation, so projects with this narrative are definitely worth paying attention to. Once the interaction tasks drop on 11/03, just go all in. #BrevisExplained
