BREAKING: Brevis Pico Prism Shatters Records - 99.6% of Ethereum Proofs Processed in Just 12 Seconds

Lightning-fast blockchain verification just got real—and Wall Street's about to feel the heat.

The Speed Revolution

Brevis Pico Prism isn't just fast—it's rewriting the rulebook for Ethereum verification. Processing 99.6% of proofs in under 12 seconds? That's not incremental improvement—that's quantum leap territory.

Why This Changes Everything

Traditional verification methods just got lapped. While legacy systems chug along, Pico Prism cuts through complexity like a hot knife through butter. No more waiting hours for confirmation—we're talking seconds.

The Technical Edge

This isn't just about speed—it's about reliability. 99.6% completion rate means near-perfect efficiency. For developers building the next generation of dApps, that's the difference between viable and vaporware.

Market Implications

Watch institutional investors scramble. When you can verify transactions this quickly, traditional settlement systems start looking like horse-drawn carriages. The suits in traditional finance will call it disruptive—we call it inevitable.

Bottom line: The future of blockchain verification just arrived—and it's not waiting for anyone. Meanwhile, traditional finance keeps paying teams of analysts to manually reconcile what we can now verify in seconds. Some things never change.

Speed That Changes the Game 

According to the news release, Pico Prism moves Ethereum from research-level experiments to real-world use. The technology allows a single prover to create mathematical proofs that other validators can check in milliseconds, rather than having hundreds of thousands of validators repeat the same calculations. 

Announcing Pico Prism, the state-of-the-art zkVM for Ethereum real-time proving. 99.6% of blocks proven under 12 seconds, 6.9s average with 64 RTX 5090 GPUs.

The average proving time is now 6.9 seconds for 45 million gas blocks, while costs dropped to $128,000, and only 64 RTX 5090 GPUs are needed instead of 160 RTX 4090 GPUs which were previously used. 

“The numbers speak for themselves. 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 production deployment.” Brevis CEO Mo Dong said.

Currently, Ethereum repeats calculations for every transaction. For example, a token swap on Uniswap is recalculated by over 800,000 validators. Pico Prism fixes this by letting one prover do the work, while others verify it quickly. Developers can now use much more computing power off-chain while keeping Ethereum-level security. Some major projects using Brevis technology are PancakeSwap, Usual, and Frax. These systems already show how complex tasks and cross-chain verification can run smoothly.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin in a tweet said he is “Excited to see Pico Prism entering the ZK-EVM proving arena”

Excited to see @brevis_zk's Pico Prism entering the ZK-EVM proving arena!

An important step forward in ZK-EVM proving speed and diversity. https://t.co/nOeYt9YMvm

Building the Future of a Faster Blockchain

The platform achieves this by breaking the proving process into parallel stages. GPUs handle the heavy calculations, while CPUs manage setup tasks. This reduces the power consumption and enables home validators to operate a node using a regular laptop that distributes the network.  Additionally, the plan for Ethereum is 99% coverage, verification in less than 10 seconds, and the cost of hardware in sub-$100,000. Pico Prism comes very close but falls short of real time by 2.2%.

Zero-knowledge VIRTUAL machines like Pico Prism show that programs ran correctly without having to do all the work again.
