Brevis co-founder Michael: 99% of blockchain computation will move off-chain in the next decade, with ZK proofs becoming key infrastructure
According to ChainCatcher, at the recent “Build and Scale in 2026” themed forum held by ChainCatcher in Hong Kong, Brevis co-founder & CEO Michael delivered a keynote speech on “The Infinite Computation Layer Where Everything Can Be Computed,” sharing how ZK technology is driving a fundamental transformation in the blockchain computation paradigm.
Michael pointed out that current on-chain blockchain computation is costly and slow. The “verifiable computation” paradigm proposed by Brevis can offload heavy computation to off-chain, with on-chain only needing to verify proofs at low cost, thus decoupling computation from verification and supporting privacy-preserving scenarios.
The presentation showcased the performance breakthrough of Brevis’s core product, Pico ZKVM: its latest generation, Pico Prism, can complete Ethereum block proofs in an average of 6.9 seconds, with 99.6% of blocks completed within 12 seconds, achieving real-time Ethereum proof (RTP) for the first time. Currently, Pico ZKVM, as an “on-chain ZK data coprocessor,” has been applied in multiple scenarios such as privacy-preserving incentive distribution, high-performance DeFi, and trustless on-chain data computation, and provides Rust programming support for developers with zero ZK development experience.
Michael predicts that in the next 10 years, 99% of blockchain computation will take place off-chain and be verified through ZK proofs. Brevis is driving this process through its verifiable computation infrastructure.
