At eth_proofs Day, Justin Drake demonstrated the use of the zklighthouse client to validate the Brevis Pico ZKVM proof - enabling direct finalization of blocks without re-executing transactions. This signaled the dawn of the Gigagas ETH era. It appears the Ethereum Foundation is backing Brevis once again. So, what is Brevis' strategy? After reviewing their latest ProverNet whitepaper and demo, it seems Brevis differs from other ZK solutions.
The ZK-proof market typically follows a single-vendor model. However, Brevis encountered an issue in production environments. For example, Uniswap's off-chain rebate process requires a transparent ZK solution, while PancakeSwap's VIP fees require sub-second proof checks before each transaction. These varying requirement scenarios, according to Euler Lam Labs' logic, necessitate different hardware configurations, proof systems, and optimizations. If there's only one vendor, they can only optimize for niche scenarios or offer generalized, compromised solutions. This clearly makes it difficult to meet the specialized and differentiated needs in vertical scenarios.
Brevis' proposed solution with ProverNet is simple: create a two-sided marketplace where requesters post requests and professional provers bid. This is the TODA (True Outcome Double Auction) mechanism. This "market-based" approach allows for handling various types of heterogeneous proofs, ensuring requesters receive specialized service from the best provers. Furthermore, for complex tasks, provers can collaborate in splitting the workload. For example, A can divide a zkVM proof, B can compress it, C can aggregate it, and D can perform the final packaging. In short, specialization and division of labor allow for addressing diverse market demands.
The logic is simple: shifting from a "selling shovels" mentality to building a "marketplace." Moving from a purely centralized vendor service system to a decentralized marketplace. The Gigagas ETH era requires infrastructure capable of distributing provers network-wide, rather than just a single tool service.
