Brevis Claims Pico Prism Nears Ethereum ZK Proving Targets With Sub-10s Performance

Figures are company-reported and await independent benchmarking.

Overview

  • Brevis reports Pico Prism proved 99.6% of current Ethereum blocks in under 12 seconds, with 96.8% completing in under 10 seconds.
  • The company says tests used the mainnet’s 45 million gas limit and reduced required GPU hardware costs by roughly 50%.
  • Brevis positions the results within 2.2% of the Ethereum Foundation’s 2025 proving benchmarks for coverage and real-time proving.
  • Pico Prism’s model shifts from mass validator re-execution to a single prover producing a zk proof that the network can verify in milliseconds.
  • Brevis cites early usage by PancakeSwap, Usual, and Frax, while third-party audits, broader benchmarks, and any Ethereum Layer-1 integration remain unproven.
