TechFlow News, May 12: According to an official announcement, Brevis—a ZK-powered intelligent verifiable computing platform—has launched Pico Prism 2.0, now live on Ethereum’s mainnet under the current 60-million-gas block limit.
Benchmarking results show that, under Ethereum’s current 60-million-gas block limit, Pico Prism 2.0 achieves an average proof time of 6.1 seconds per block; 99.9% of blocks complete final proof within 12 seconds. The entire system runs across just two machines equipped with a total of 16 RTX 5090 GPUs, with an aggregate hardware cost of approximately $100,000. Compared to Pico Prism 1.0, Pico Prism 2.0 delivers roughly a 5.3× improvement in per-block proof efficiency—despite using only one-quarter of the hardware—further meeting the Ethereum Foundation’s two primary targets for real-time proving: “average proof latency under 10 seconds” and “on-premises hardware cost under $100,000.”
Previously, Brevis was selected for the Ethereum Foundation’s “On-Prem Proving Initiative,” a program launching in May 2026 aimed at evaluating whether ZK proofs can scale as decentralized infrastructure without reliance on a small number of cloud service providers—the closest rehearsal to date for actual L1 zkEVM integration.
Going forward, Brevis will continue focusing on robustness and actively align with the Ethereum Foundation’s security roadmap to ensure Pico Prism meets the L1 zkEVM integration target of provable 128-bit security. As part of this effort, formal verification of the new RISC-V 64IM ISA has already commenced.
