With the official launch of the Brevis coChain on mainnet—we are excited to share another milestone alongside our launch, the AltLayer 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.
AltLayer is renowned for providing RaaS services and operating rollup nodes for over 30 clients. Our partnership with AltLayer 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, AltLayer 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 AltLayer 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 AltLayer
AltLayer is a leading provider of Rollups-as-a-Service, specializing in the deployment and management of bespoke rollups tailored to the unique needs of diverse applications.
“We’re very excited to support the newly launched Brevis co-processor AVS by operating a node fully run and managed by AltLayer. Our commitment to supporting Brevis is rooted in our belief that co-processors will enable new kinds of data-rich applications across DeFi, machine learning and beyond. By operating a secure and reliable node, we aim to bolster Brevis infrastructure and help facilitate its growth.” Said Amrit Kumar, AltLayer’s COO.
AltLayer 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 AltLayer and Brevis, signifying progress towards our shared goals within the blockchain landscape.
