New DePIN protocol rolls out ZK-proof processing marketplace
Brevis launched ProverNet, a DePIN marketplace enabling users to earn by computing ZK-proofs for applications.Summary
Zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proof) coprocessor Brevis has launched its decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) network marketplace called ProverNet. This platform allows applications to access ZK-proof proving capacity, while computing providers can earn revenue by processing these proofs. Currently, the network uses Circle's USDC for settlement, but plans to transition to the BREV token upon mainnet launch, which will also introduce prover staking and slashing mechanisms. Brevis noted that the variability of ZK-proof workloads necessitated ProverNet to offer specialized capacity without vendor lock-in, creating shared infrastructure. The company has already processed over 250 million proofs for more than 30 partners, including Uniswap, MetaMask, Linea, and PancakeSwap, and is currently migrating production workloads, such as a subset of Ethereum block execution proving from ETHProofs, onto ProverNet.
