TechFlow news, October 15 — According to an official announcement from Brevis, the company has announced that its newly launched multi-GPU zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) Pico Prism has achieved real-time Ethereum proofs on consumer-grade hardware: using 64 RTX 5090 GPUs, 99.6% of Ethereum L1 blocks were proven within 12 seconds, with 96.8% of block proofs completed under the Ethereum Foundation's 10-second benchmark. In a test conducted on September 1, 2025, under Ethereum’s current gas limit of 45M, Pico Prism achieved an average proof time of just 6.9 seconds.
Compared to SP1 Hypercube, which previously achieved a proof coverage of 40.9% at a 36M gas limit, Pico Prism now far exceeds that standard with 98.9% coverage. The average proof time has improved from 10.3 seconds to 6.04 seconds, while GPU costs have been reduced from $256,000 to $128,000.
This performance breakthrough stems from Brevis’ newly designed multi-machine, multi-GPU architecture: high-compute tasks are parallelized and distributed across different GPUs, while CPUs handle only initialization and management, enabling a leap in performance.
Brevis plans to further reduce GPU requirements to within 16 RTX 5090 GPUs over the coming months, achieving 99% real-time proof capability and positioning itself as a leading solution for integration into Ethereum L1’s core architecture.
