With the official launch of the Brevis coChain on mainnet—we are excited to share another milestone alongside our launch, the 01node operator has joined the Brevis coChain Actively Validated Service (AVS) mainnet by leveraging EigenLayer’s cutting-edge tech stack! This collaboration represents a leap forward in strengthening the ZK coprocessing infrastructure for Web3 as a whole.
01node is renowned for providing reliable non-custodial staking solutions tailored for Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains. Our partnership with them not only enhances the economic security of Brevis coChain but also integrates with Ethereum’s existing security layer through EigenLayer. As a Brevis coChain AVS node operator, 01node will join coprocessing with other operators to collectively generate optimistic results for requests received from smart contracts and dApps through EigenLayer’s restaking infrastructure, and provide the opportunity for the results to be challenged by a Zero-Knowledge Proof generated by Brevis’s ZK proving stack.
Built on top of EigenLayer as a dual-quorum PoS network, Brevis coChain benefits from pooled economic security with restaking. Liquid restaking is the process of depositing liquid staking tokens (LSTs) into external systems like rollups or oracles to provide them with an additional layer of security, while liquidizing LSTs for users to earn extra yields. With the dual-quorum design, Brevis allows 01node and its delegators to support the coChain AVS through both LSTs/native ETH and an additional token. This not only presents an exciting opportunity for stakers and delegators to earn additional rewards on top of their ETH and LSTs, but also enables a rich, resilient model for Brevis that taps into the security of ETH already staked on Ethereum mainnet.
Brevis coChain AVS
Brevis is a smart ZK coprocessor that empowers smart contracts to read the full historical on-chain data from any chain and then run customizable computations in a completely trust-free way.
Previously, Brevis only operated using a “pure-ZK” model until we launched Brevis coChain, which introduced a new “propose-challenge” ZK Coprocessor model. Brevis coChain is a PoS network that accepts coprocessing requests from smart contracts and optimistically generates coprocessing results through PoS consensus then allows those results to be challenged with a ZK proof—significantly lowering costs, reducing latency, and increasing scalability.
By running Brevis coChain as an Eigenlayer AVS, we can expand and extend the Ethereum-level crypto-economic security by easily reusing the already staked ETH without having to unstake them.
What is 01node
01node provides high-quality staking and validation services on top of being a highly-secure and trustworthy node, Their platform’s track record demonstrates its dependability being the operator of choice for non-custodial staking, trusted by over 100,000 users since 2019. With over 30 carefully selected networks, over $350 million in assets being staked, and offering 24/7 support—it is no wonder that 01node has seen success.
01node is embracing the opportunities within the Eigenlayer ecosystem, demonstrating its commitment to fostering growth within the community. With innovative AVSs like Brevis gaining prominence and expected to play a pivotal role in the ecosystem, we are looking forward to the successful launch and adoption on mainnet. This marks a notable advancement in the partnership between 01node and Brevis, signifying progress towards our shared goals within the blockchain landscape.
Next Steps
We are excited to be working closely with 01node and look forward to exploring the various integration possibilities with Brevis’s ZK Coprocessor for different features or use cases in 01node’s platform!
