The post Brevis’ Pico Prism Achieves Record 99.6% zk-Proving Coverage for Ethereum Blocks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Pico Prism zkVM is the first in the world to achieve 99.6% proving coverage (sub-12 seconds) and 96.8% real-time proving coverage (sub-10 seconds). Due to the 50% reduction in GPU hardware prices brought about by this performance improvement, real-time is now economically feasible for broad deployment. A comprehensive architecture overhaul that switches from single-machine proving to distributed multi-GPU clusters is what gives Pico Prism its performance gains. For current-generation Ethereum mainnet blocks with a 45M gas limit, Brevis, a leading infrastructure company that powers smart, verifiable applications with zero-knowledge proofs, announced that its Pico Prism zkVM is the first in the world to achieve 99.6% proving coverage (sub-12 seconds) and 96.8% real-time proving coverage (sub-10 seconds). In order to meet Ethereum’s future capacity requirements, Pico Prism has advanced from research into production-ready infrastructure that removes a significant barrier in the network’s shift to base layer zero-knowledge verification. Due to the 50% reduction in GPU hardware prices brought about by this performance improvement, real-time is now economically feasible for broad deployment. When compared to current solutions, Pico Prism offers significant gains in all important metrics: Coverage for existing 45M gas blocks is 99.6% (<12s) and 96.8% (<10s), whereas rival solutions tested 36M gas blocks and found coverage of 40.9%. Hardware costs $128K vs $256K. The average proving time for 45M gas blocks was 6.9 seconds; for 36M gas blocks, it was 6.04 seconds as opposed to 10.3 seconds. For similar performance, compare 64 RTX 5090 GPUs with 160 RTX 4090 GPUs. When speed and cost efficiency measurements are combined, performance is 3.4 times better. “The numbers speak for themselves,” said Mo Dong, CEO and co-founder of Brevis. “We’ve built infrastructure that can handle what Ethereum is actually producing today. This is faster performance leading to economic efficiency that makes real-time proving viable for…
