Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 25 — According to official sources, ZK intelligent verifiable computation platform Brevis announced an update to Pico Prism zkVM. It now achieves over 99% real-time Ethereum block proof using only 16 RTX 5090 GPUs across two machines. Despite a 75% reduction in GPU count, verification performance remains nearly unchanged. In a previous announcement in October 2025, the scheme required eight servers with 64 GPUs.

The update maintains an average proof time of 6.91 seconds. GPU costs have dropped from $128,000 to $32,000, with total hardware costs around $100,000, meeting the Ethereum Foundation’s capital expenditure goals for real-time proof infrastructure. This performance boost results from a redesigned dual-rack architecture, which, through intelligent scheduling and data locality optimization, further eliminates cross-machine data transfer, ensuring full utilization of all GPUs.

The Ethereum Foundation has now announced the end of the performance competition, shifting focus to the security infrastructure integrated with L1 zkEVM. They have set a milestone to achieve 128-bit provable security by the end of 2026. Brevis is actively cooperating with the Ethereum Foundation’s security roadmap to ensure Pico Prism meets the robustness requirements for mainnet deployment.

In the future, Brevis will continue to optimize Pico Prism and share updated benchmark results as the architecture further evolves.
