Beefy 🤝 Brevis: ZK-Powered Yield Optimization

2025-09-15

[read_meter]

We’re excited to announce a partnership between Beefy, the multichain yield optimizer, and Brevis, the infinite verifiable compute layer powering smart, scalable Web3 applications. Together, we’re setting a new standard for reward distribution in active liquidity management vaults—trustless, transparent, and backed by zero-knowledge proofs.

The Incentive Challenge in DeFi

Liquidity is the lifeblood of DeFi. To attract and retain liquidity providers, protocols depend on incentive programs. Yet most reward systems remain opaque, trust-dependent, and difficult to scale across multiple chains and vaults.

Beefy, a leader in yield optimization across more than 25 blockchains, now faces an even greater challenge. With the rise and growth of active liquidity management vaults, the challenge of distributing rewards fairly and transparently has become a critical one.

Brevis addresses this by generating ZK proofs of every liquidity provider’s actions—deposits, trades, and fees earned. With these ZK proofs, Beefy can deliver rewards that are fully verifiable on-chain, without exposing sensitive data or relying on centralized trust.

First Deployment — Linea Ignition

The partnership begins with the Linea Ignition program.

Beefy’s active liquidity vaults on Linea are now integrated with the Brevis ZK Data Coprocessor, ensuring every reward that is distributed is backed by a proof that can be verified directly on-chain.

This guarantees:
✔️ Trustless verification of every reward distribution
✔️ Scalable support for complex incentive logic
✔️ Confidence for liquidity providers that distributions are accurate and transparent

Scaling ZK-Powered Rewards

Linea Ignition is just the beginning. Beefy and Brevis will expand ZK-powered reward distribution across new chains, vaults, and incentive programs.

The shared vision is simple:

Every Beefy vault, regardless of strategy, can rely on ZK-verifiable rewards
Ecosystem partners can design more creative incentive structures without being limited by on-chain computation costs
The wider DeFi community benefits from a higher standard of fairness and trustless automation

Shaping the Future of Incentives

This partnership marks a turning point and key milestone for DeFi incentives. By combining Beefy’s expertise in yield optimization, with Brevis’s infrastructure for verifiable computation, we’re shaping a future where reward distribution is provable, scalable, and chain-agnostic.

Stay tuned as Beefy and Brevis expand this initiative across ecosystems, bringing the next generation of incentives to DeFi.

About Brevis

Brevis is a verifiable computing platform powered by zero-knowledge proofs, serving as the infinite compute layer for Web3. Applications can offload expensive computations off-chain while proving every result on-chain. The Brevis stack includes Pico zkVM for general-purpose computation, the ZK Data Coprocessor for trustless access to historical blockchain data, Pico Prism for real-time Ethereum block proving (99.6% coverage, 6.9s average), and ProverNet, a decentralized marketplace for ZK proof generation. To date, Brevis has generated hundreds of millions of proofs across 40+ protocols on 6 blockchains.
