Brevis [released](https://blog.brevis.network/2026/05/12/pico-prism-2-0-a-5-3x-efficiency-leap-in-real-time-ethereum-proving/) [Pico Prism 2.0](https://ethdaily.io/803), the latest rebuild of its real-time Ethereum block prover, achieving a 5.3x improvement in proving efficiency over its predecessor. Pico Prism 2.0 achieves 6.1 seconds per proof with 99.9% of blocks finalizing within the 12-second slot, running on 16 RTX 5090 GPUs across two machines, a quarter of the GPU count required by Pico Prism 1.0.

Pico Prism 2.0 brings four key upgrades, including a more efficient instruction set, a two-machine distributed architecture with dynamic load balancing across all 16 GPUs, a faster emulator that compiles programs natively rather than interpreting them at runtime, and a ground-up rewrite of the GPU-proving backend. The release meets the Ethereum Foundation's [stated real-time proving targets](https://ethdaily.io/862) of sub-10-second average latency and hardware costs of under $100K.
