As the Brevis coChain enters the mainnet stage, we’re thrilled to announce a significant milestone: Allnodes’s operator is now part of the Brevis coChain Actively Validated Service (AVS) mainnet, powered by EigenLayer’s advanced technology stack. This partnership marks a significant advancement in fortifying the ZK coprocessing infrastructure for Web3, showcasing our commitment to innovation and collaboration in the blockchain space.
Allnodes is renowned for providing reliable non-custodial staking solutions tailored for Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains. Our partnership with Allnodes 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, Allnodes 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 Allnodes 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.
Who is Allnodes
Allnodes is a leading non-custodial enterprise-grade infrastructure provider for secure staking, node hosting, RPCs, and API services for retail and institutional clients. As EigenLayer’s operator, Allnodes aims to reinforce the network’s security by committing to integrity and intent. For AVS projects on EigenLayer, Allnodes presents itself as a reliable partner.
Allnodes 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 Allnodes and Brevis, signifying progress toward our shared goals within the blockchain landscape.
Next Steps
We are excited to be working closely with Allnodes and look forward to exploring the various integration possibilities with Brevis’s ZK Coprocessor for different features or use cases in Allnodes’s platform!
