Brevis Upgrades to Pico Prism zkVM, Achieving 99%+ Ethereum Real-Time Proof on 16 GPUs

BlockBeats News, February 26th: According to official sources, Brevis has upgraded its Pico Prism zkVM, now requiring only 2 machines, 16 RTX 5090 GPUs to achieve over 99% Ethereum block real-time proving capability. This is a significant simplification compared to the solution announced in October 2025 (8 servers, 64 GPUs). The average proof time remains at 6.91 seconds, while GPU costs have plummeted from $128,000 to $32,000, bringing the total hardware cost down to around $100,000, aligning perfectly with the Ethereum Foundation's real-time proof infrastructure capital expenditure (capex) goal.

This performance leap is due to a newly designed dual-machine collaborative architecture: this architecture eliminates inter-machine data transfer and ensures all GPUs run continuously at full load. The Ethereum Foundation has announced the basic conclusion of the performance competition and will focus on achieving 128-bit provable security to advance the 2026 integration and implementation of L1 zkEVM.
