About Brevis Token
BREV is the native token of Brevis ProverNet, a decentralised marketplace that coordinates zero-knowledge proof generation across a network of provers. It functions as the primary medium of payment for zkVM execution, data attestations, and recursive aggregation jobs. BREV is also used for staking, where provers lock tokens to guarantee service-level agreements and can be penalised for failures. Additionally, BREV acts as the gas token for transactions within the Brevis rollup and allows token holders to vote on protocol parameters such as proof size limits and slashing rates. The system is designed to align token incentives with reliable, verifiable compute services. Created by Mo Dong and Alan Li, BREV supports a flexible, auction-based infrastructure for matching ZK workloads with provers in a scalable and trust-minimised environment.
The Brevis Token (BREV) is the native utility and settlement token of Brevis ProverNet, a decentralised marketplace for zero-knowledge (ZK) proof generation. Brevis connects a wide range of ZK workloads with a distributed network of provers using an on-chain auction system. These workloads include zkVM programmes, data attestations, recursive aggregation and more.
BREV is used for all economic activity within the Brevis infrastructure. It acts as a payment method for proof generation and verification, as staking collateral to ensure service commitments, and as the gas token for operations within the Brevis rollup, which runs the marketplace independently from congestion on Layer 1 or Layer 2 chains.
BREV has four main functions in the Brevis network.
Payment All services in Brevis, including zkVM execution, ZK coprocessor output and proof aggregation, must be paid for in BREV. It is also used as gas for on-chain transactions within the Brevis rollup.
Staking Provers must stake BREV, or receive delegated stake, to participate in proof auctions. Staking is used to:
- Prevent Sybil attacks and gate access to high-value jobs.
- Penalise missed deadlines or incorrect proofs through slashing.
- Prioritise provers with higher stake and strong performance records.
Slashing If provers fail to meet service-level agreements, a portion of their staked BREV is slashed. The initial slashing rate is 1 per cent and may be changed through governance decisions.
Governance BREV holders can vote on protocol settings, including maximum proof sizes, minimum security thresholds, slashing rates and auction fees.
Brevis was co-founded by Mo Dong (Michael Dong) and Alan Li.
Mo Dong is also a co-founder of Celer Network. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and has expertise in distributed systems and networking. He was a founding member of Veriflow, later acquired by VMware.
Alan Li, the Chief Science Officer (CSO) of Brevis, earned his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, specialising in artificial intelligence and mathematics. He previously founded an AI-for-science company and has led the development of core Brevis technologies such as the Pico zkVM and SpaZK.
