Pico Prism Advances Ethereum’s Scalability Towards 10,000 TPS
- Brevis introduced Pico Prism, a zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) that can prove Ethereum blocks in under 12 seconds.
- The technology achieved a real-time proving rate of 99.6% using consumer-grade hardware, specifically with 64 Nvidia RTX 5090 GPUs.
- Brevis plans to reach a target of over 99% real-time proving with fewer than 16 RTX GPUs within the next few months.
- Ethereum’s roadmap indicates that transitioning to ZK-proofs could enable the network to handle up to 10,000 transactions per second by April.
- The upcoming Fusaka upgrade is expected to enhance real-time proving efficiency and support more parallel processing.
The introduction of Pico Prism marks a significant advancement in Ethereum’s scalability, allowing for faster block validation without the need for expensive supercomputers. This development could lead to more efficient transaction processing and broader accessibility for users.
With the goal of achieving 10,000 TPS, this breakthrough positions Ethereum closer to its scalability objectives as it continues evolving towards a zk-chain model.(Source)
