@brevis_zk is establishing itself as a key proving layer for bridging ZK computation, on-chain finance, and AI systems. This month marks a series of milestones that highlight that trajectory - from Pico Prism’s real-time @ethereum proving on consumer GPUs, to a $9M grant from the @UniswapFND for trustless rebate routing, to partnerships spanning verifiable AI, private data markets, and x402 payments.
This report consolidates the latest developments across Brevis’s technology stack, partnerships, and events, showing how its zkVM, zkTLS, and data coprocessor are moving steadfastly beyond research into production.
Pico Prism
Brevis announced that its Pico Prism system achieved near-complete real-time proving of @ethereum L1 blocks using consumer-grade GPUs: https://blog.brevis.network/2025/10/15/pico-prism-99-6-real-time-proving-for-45m-gas-ethereum-blocks-on-consumer-hardware/
Tested on 45 million gas limit blocks, 99.6% were proven under 12 seconds and 96.8% under the @ethereumfndn’s 10-second standard, averaging 6.9 seconds.
Compared with @SuccinctLabs’s SP1 Hypercube, Pico Prism proved 3.4 times more efficient, using 64 RTX 5090 GPUs instead of 160. The results show real-time Ethereum proving is now possible on affordable hardware, advancing zkVM scalability and transparency.
The development drew a wave of praise from across the industry, including luminaries like @VitalikButerin and @drakefjustin.
Grant
The project has received a grant of up to $9 million from @UniswapFND to develop a trustless routing rebate program for @Uniswap v4: https://blog.brevis.network/2025/10/24/uniswap-foundation-awards-brevis-grant-for-trustless-routing-rebate-program-up-to-9m/
The initiative will use Brevis’s ZK Data Coprocessor and zkVM to verify gas rebates on-chain without centralized control.
By rewarding routers that integrate hooked pools, the program encourages faster adoption of v4 features, deeper liquidity, and lower trading costs, supporting a more transparent and efficient decentralized exchange ecosystem.
Events
1/ Brevis, together with @HouseofZK, will host ZKONNECT on Nov 18 at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, as part of @EFDevcon:
The event will focus on the practical adoption of zkVMs, ZK Data Coprocessors, zkML, and zkTLS, highlighting how these technologies are moving from research into production. Discussions will cover real-world use cases in verifiable computation, cross-chain data interoperability, and Verifiable AI.
Registration: https://luma.com/jix04ltq
2/ The project will also co-host Verifying Intelligence 3.0 with House of ZK and @invisiblgarden on Nov 19th at Cultural Vivo, Buenos Aires.
This gathering will explore the intersection of ZK technology and AI, focusing on how ZKPs can bring transparency and trust to artificial intelligence - shaping the future of Verifiable AI.
The event is sponsored by some of the biggest names in the ZK and AI spaces including @0G_labs, @Starknet, @ZKVProtocol, @ProjectZKM, @MinaProtocol, and others.

Partnerships
Finally, the project has recently announced a range of new partnerships and integrations, including:
• @vana: Partnered with Brevis to enable user-owned data marketplaces for AI training. Brevis provides zkTLS and Pico zkVM to prove data authenticity and computation correctness without exposing raw data. Vana coordinates user consent and compensation, enabling high-fidelity, privacy-preserving datasets for AI models: https://blog.brevis.network/2025/11/04/brevis-x-vana-enabling-private-data-sovereignty-with-zk-powered-trust/
• @KoalaSwap_app and @UnitsNetwork : Launched a rewards campaign powered by Brevis Incentra on Unit Zero. The program distributes 2M rewKOALA to LPs based on actual fee generation. Brevis verifies off-chain reward calculations with ZKPs, ensuring transparency and eliminating the need for custom reward contracts: https://blog.brevis.network/2025/10/27/koalaswap-launches-2m-rewkoala-lp-rewards-on-unit-zero-powered-by-brevis-incentra/
• @GoPlusSecurity: Formed a strategic partnership to launch the Security Oracle, combining GoPlus’s security engine with Brevis’s ZK compute. The oracle will provide verifiable, real-time risk assessments for addresses and tokens, creating a transparent and composable security data layer for Web3: https://x.com/brevis_zk/status/1983452569113653671
• @pieverse_io: Collaborated with Brevis to bring ZK verification to the x402b payment framework on @BNBCHAIN. Each payment made with pieUSD includes a verifiable receipt, enabling trusted transaction history for AI agents and users without revealing sensitive details: https://x.com/brevis_zk/status/1984095772015784352
• @UnifaiNetwork: Partnered with Brevis to make AI-driven DeFi strategies verifiable. Brevis provides ZK proofs confirming strategy execution, performance, and agent behavior across chains. The integration supports UnifAI’s mission of building a trustless, auditable infrastructure for autonomous finance: https://x.com/brevis_zk/status/1984949083048751239
With real-time Ethereum proving now demonstrated, grants reinforcing on-chain transparency, and multiple integrations extending across DeFi and AI ecosystems, Brevis is positioning its stack as a foundational layer for verifiable computation at scale.
The future is looking bright for http://brevis.network.
