TechFlow: Around the vision of an "infinite computing layer for everything," the Brevis ecosystem boasts three major product components: Pico zkVM, ZK Data Coprocessor, and ProverNet. Pico zkVM can be seen as the engine of Brevis's "infinite computing layer" vision. It is designed specifically for building secure, scalable, and high-performance decentralized applications, and has a series of core advantages compared to other zkVMs: First, Pico zkVM is flexible and has a low barrier to entry. Its modular design allows developers to customize functions like building blocks, and it supports developers writing arbitrary programs in Rust while maintaining RISC-V compatibility. Developers don't need to learn complex circuit languages or manually optimize recursion; they only need to modify a few lines of configuration to optimize performance, cost, and security for their applications. More importantly, Pico zkVM is faster and can prove any computation, fundamentally solving the challenge of large-scale ZK deployment: the multi-GPU version of Pico Prism, launched in 2025, achieved 99.6% real-time proof coverage of Ethereum mainnet blocks on consumer hardware, making Brevis the world's fastest zkVM. Compared to the second-place SP1 Hypercube solution, Pico Prism is 32 times faster, while reducing GPU hardware costs by 50%, supporting lower cost and higher efficiency in proof generation. Furthermore, through collaboration with another core function, the ZK Data Coprocessor, Pico zkVM will achieve a significant performance boost in processing historical on-chain data, making it more practical and enabling large-scale adoption in production environments. The ZK Data Coprocessor is Brevis's most mature and widely deployed product. Its core function is to allow smart contracts to access and compute any historical on-chain data trustlessly and at low cost, essentially giving contracts an "infinite historical database." Previously, contracts wanting to access historical data generally had two options: one was to search manually, but this was prohibitively expensive in terms of gas; the other was to use a centralized oracle, but this carried trust and security risks. ZK Data Coprocessor offers a third option: it not only provides access to almost all historical on-chain information but also has a very low barrier to entry. Developers don't need to understand ZK circuits to access the data. The Brevis backend automatically pulls real historical data from the chain, efficiently generates ZK proofs, and verifies them. The entire process has extremely low gas costs and is completely trustless. The final key product module is ProverNet: a decentralized ZK proof generation marketplace where any application can submit proof requests, and any professional prover can bid to complete the task. We know that the proof requirements vary greatly across different projects and scenarios. If each application builds its own proof infrastructure, it would be not only costly but also inefficient. ProverNet aims to bring proof generation to a public marketplace: applications submit requirements, professional provers offer prices and respond to those requirements, complex tasks can be broken down into sub-tasks and completed collaboratively by different provers, and once generated, proofs can be verified on any target chain. Tasks are matched through Brevis's Truthful Online Double Auction (TODA), and ProverNet runs on Brevis's dedicated Rollup Brevis Chain to further ensure efficiency. Currently, ProverNet's Mainnet Beta version is available.
