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 needed to achieve over 99% real-time proof capability for Ethereum blocks, a significant reduction from the 8 servers and 64 GPUs announced in October 2025. The average proof time remains at 6.91 seconds, while GPU costs have plummeted from $128,000 to $32,000, bringing total hardware costs to around $100,000, aligning perfectly with the Ethereum Foundation’s capex goals for real-time proof infrastructure.
The performance leap is driven by a newly designed dual-machine collaborative architecture: this setup eliminates cross-machine data transfer and ensures all GPUs operate at full capacity continuously. The Ethereum Foundation has announced that the performance competition is essentially over, shifting focus toward achieving 128-bit provable security to facilitate the integration of L1 zkEVM in 2026.
