What is Brevis (BREV)?
Brevis is a zero-knowledge coprocessor designed to extend what smart contracts can do by enabling them to compute over historical and cross-chain data without relying on trusted intermediaries. Traditional blockchains, such as Ethereum, are limited in their ability to process large datasets or reference past on-chain activity, as these operations are either too costly or introduce security trade-offs. Brevis addresses this gap by acting as an external compute layer that works alongside the existing blockchains.
At the core of Brevis is a model that separates computation from verification. When a smart contract requires complex analysis or data access from multiple chains, the task is executed off-chain within Brevis’s proving network. Instead of trusting the result directly, the system generates a zero-knowledge proof that is submitted back on-chain. The smart contract verifies the proof cryptographically, confirming the validity of the computation without re-executing it.
The off-chain engine powering this process is ProverNet, a decentralized network where independent provers compete to generate proofs for requested computations. To support high performance, Brevis relies on its own zkVM, Pico, which is designed to handle fast and efficient proof generation. Together, these components enable omnichain data access, real-time analytics, and trust-free verification for advanced use cases.
Brevis was founded by a team deeply focused on zero-knowledge research and cryptographic infrastructure. Michael, co-founder and CEO, brings a background spanning both academia and Silicon Valley and has been a visible advocate for verifiable computation and modular zkVM design. Dr. Mo Dong, co-founder, is a cryptography PhD with extensive experience in zero-knowledge proof systems and distributed systems.
BREV serves as the native utility and governance token of the Brevis ecosystem. Provers are required to stake BREV as collateral, which can be penalized in cases of malicious behavior or failure to deliver, reinforcing network security. The token is also used to pay fees for proof generation and verification. In addition, token holders can participate in protocol governance, influencing long-term development.
The circulating supply of BREV token is 250 million, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens.
BREV token is listed on Binance for trade and purchase. The current price of BREV is available and updated in real-time on Binance.
