Ethereum has upgraded fees, improved security, expanded L2s, but one thing always felt stuck to me.

The base layer could never compute more without blowing up verification costs.

@brevis_zk just broke that wall.

At Bankless Summit II, @no89thkey explained something I honestly think more people should be paying attention to GPU-powered parallel proving that takes a single Ethereum block and splits it into roughly one hundred smaller blocks running at the same time, all verified for the cost of one.

Same gas environment.
Same trust model.
A completely different execution reality.

For the first time, Ethereum gets horizontal compute expansion inside the L1 itself.

That unlocks a lot:
• ZK heavy apps can run directly on Ethereum
• On chain AI verification finally becomes practical
• DeFi protocols get more compute without shifting off chain
• State intensive applications no longer rely on closed systems or fragile off chain workers

This feels bigger than an optimization. It feels like the base layer getting room to breathe again, with real computational headroom instead of squeezing efficiency at the edges.

Brevis is showing a new direction for Ethereum’s future.
Not by replacing L2s, but by giving the L1 a way to scale its compute capacity in a way it simply never had before.

I think this is one of those moments where the entire stack starts to shift around a new capability and Brevis is the one bringing it to the table.
