Brevis upgrades Pico Prism zkVM, achieving over 99% real-time Ethereum proof based on 16 GPUs
BlockBeats News, February 26, according to official sources, Brevis has upgraded its Pico Prism zkVM. Now, only 2 machines and 16 RTX 5090 GPUs are required to achieve over 99% real-time proof capability for Ethereum blocks, a significant simplification compared to the solution announced in October 2025 (8 servers and 64 GPUs). The average proof time remains at 6.91 seconds, while GPU costs have plummeted from $128,000 to $32,000, and the overall hardware cost has dropped to about $100,000, perfectly aligning with the Ethereum Foundation's capex target for real-time proof infrastructure.
This performance leap is attributed to a newly designed dual-machine collaborative architecture: this architecture eliminates cross-machine data transfer and ensures all GPUs run at full capacity. The Ethereum Foundation has announced that the performance competition is basically over and will now focus on achieving 128-bit provable security to advance the integration of L1 zkEVM in 2026.
