TL;DR
Brevis will be collaborating with Automata to enhance the security of Brevis coChain and is planning to integrate Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). TEEs offer a tamper-proof environment for executing computations, bolstering security in the coChain. Node operators opting to use Automata’s TEE prover may end up attracting more stake delegation due to increased security.
Automata and TEEs
Automata is a modular attestation layer that extends machine-level trust to Ethereum and more broadly, Web3 as a whole. Automata’s modular setup allows the attestation layer to work natively with any pre-existing rollup stack. These layers come together to introduce a novel Attestation Stack with highly configurable components.
Automata’s previous collaboration with Scroll, a zkEVM Layer 2, helped demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of TEEs as a supplementary technology to ZK proofs. It was able to showcase the benefits a TEE Prover could provide—namely enhanced security measures without significantly increasing proof generation costs.
Enhancing Brevis coChain with TEEs
Brevis coChain is an EigenLayer Actively Validated Service (AVS) secured by Proof-of-Stake (PoS) featuring on-Ethereum staking and slashing functionalities.
By collaborating with Automata and combining the strengths of ZK Proofs and TEE attestations, we are looking forward to being able to offer more security options to node operators. TEEs have the potential to bolster the power and security of Brevis coChain and has the potential to revolutionize the security and trust models currently being used by dApps while also allowing for more scalability and usability. Brevis also intends to implement less severe slashing conditions for node operators employing TEE for coprocessing logic in the coChain.
With the combination of Brevis’s ZK coprocessing features alongside Automata’s vast knowledge and experience with TEEs, together we have the potential to expand and innovate the various possibilities in the realm of secure, scalable, and trustworthy decentralized computing.
About Automata
Automata Network is a modular attestation layer that extends machine-level trust to Ethereum by leveraging optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge proofs in its Proof of Machinehood approach. The application-specific rollup allows on-chain verification for out-of-protocol computation, which creates an unbroken chain of trust that extends upwards through the entire Web3 stack.

About Brevis
Brevis is a smart ZK coprocessor that empowers smart contracts to read the full historical on-chain data from any chain and run customizable computations in a completely trust-free way.
Brevis can trustlessly read the states, transactions, and receipts of any time frame. It efficiently runs computations on data of any size: as the data to prove increases in size, Brevis significantly reduces the per unit cost and time for proof generation. Additionally, Brevis seamlessly verifies Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs on any blockchain, providing a unified and trustless user experience for decentralized applications (dApps) operating across multiple chains.
Brevis empowers data-rich use cases including data-driven DeFi, user-segment optimized live-ops features, zkBridges, zkDID, and smart-contract native risk control, all executed in a trustless manner.
