Brevis and Linea have formed a strategic partnership to empower the next generation of decentralized applications. Through this collaboration, Linea developers would have access to Brevis’s advanced off-chain verifiable computing solutions, opening the door to a new era of smart, scalable and trustless applications. With Brevis, Linea developers and DeFi users can unlock powerful new capabilities—as illustrated by campaigns like the MetaMask Incentra rewards program—to make incentives, DeFi, and user experiences more secure, efficient, and transparent.
What Brevis brings to Linea dApps:
- Trustless data access – Seamlessly compute over historical on-chain data without relying on centralized oracles or heavy indexers.
- Scalable compute – Offload complex logic and simulations to the ultra-efficient Pico zkVM, then verify results on-chain with succinct ZK proofs.
- User-first experiences – Deliver gas-predictable, web2-like UX while maintaining decentralization and trustlessness through off-chain computation backed by ZK proofs.
Whether you’re building innovative DeFi applications, complex and rich UXs, or cross-chain solutions, Brevis enables Linea developers to scale smart contracts far beyond the limits of the existing EVM constraints—all while staying fully verifiable and decentralized.
Deep dive into Brevis
Brevis delivers a modular, scalable compute layer engineered for the next wave of DeFi on Linea. With the Brevis ZK Data Coprocessor, developers can instantly access and compute on any historical Linea blockchain data—like transactions, balances, or protocol states—off-chain and with full trustlessness. The process is simple: just define your data query, write the computation in Rust, and submit the proof for on-chain verification. The verified results could be used at the protocol’s disposal as if the computation had been conducted on-chain. This streamlined workflow enables seamless, gas-efficient smart contract logic, making powerful, ZK-verified data processing readily available to every Linea developer.
For more advanced computational needs, the Brevis Pico zkVM empowers developers to write arbitrary programs in Rust, prove the compuation off-chain, and validate the results on-chain (with blazing 10–20x faster proving speeds boosted by GPU acceleration). Pico zkVM unlocks next-gen DEXs, sophisticated on-chain trading strategies, and even trustless machine learning—all without ballooning gas fees. By supercharging Linea’s computation with off-chain verifiable proofs, Brevis opens up the possibilities for cross-chain and data-intensive collaboration.
Powering Ecosystem Growth: The MetaMask Partnership & the Incentra Campaign
A prime example of how Brevis is already impacting Linea, is the MetaMask Incentra campaign that was recently launched. Through this program, MetaMask Card users can earn a fixed 2.4% APR in USDC rewards by lending or borrowing on Aave’s Linea market—with no extra steps, no hidden risks, and full transparency. At the core of this system is the Brevis-powered Incentra, a trustless incentive infrastructure that introduces a new standard for how DeFi rewards are designed, verified, and distributed. Incentra makes it simple for protocols to create sustainable campaigns that reward meaningful behaviors—such as lending, borrowing, or holding tokens—while ensuring that every reward calculation is backed by zero-knowledge proofs.
Incentra’s advantages for the Linea ecosystem include:
- Sustainable engagement – Incentives encourage ongoing interaction with Linea protocols, driving real adoption and organic growth.
Trustless and transparent – Rewards are fully verifiable through ZK proofs, removing “black box” reward systems and reliance on centralized operators. - Cross-chain flexibility – Campaigns can track user actions on one chain and distribute rewards on another, expanding the reach of Linea-based incentives.
- Seamless UX – Users can view and claim rewards from multiple campaigns through a single intuitive interface, with the ability to batch-claim in one transaction, saving time and gas.
With Brevis and Incentra now live on Linea, incentive programs are evolving into a new era—where rewards are transparent, efficient, and trustless by design. This is just the beginning: upcoming collaborations will continue to expand what’s possible for builders and users alike, solidifying Linea as a hub for scalable, verifiable finance.

About Linea
Linea is an Ethereum layer 2 blockchain developed by Consensys.
Our objective is to build a highly performant, robust, and efficient network that supports the Ethereum community’s preferred scalability strategy—rollups—whilst achieving full EVM equivalence. Linea’s main features are that it uses the zero knowledge (‘zk’) rollup method and that it is fully EVM-equivalent.
