Brevis Smashes Ethereum’s Speed Limits – 99% Proving Speed? Shocking! 🚀

According to a press release shared with crypto.news on October 15 (yes, we’re that cutting edge), Brevis’s Pico Prism zkVM has claimed the title of the first to achieve 99.6% proving coverage for Ethereum blocks under 12 seconds. The cherry on top? A whopping 96.8% of blocks have been proven in what the industry terms “real-time” (yes, under 10 seconds), while performing this feat on the current mainnet with its paltry 45 million gas limit. Oh, and did I mention they did this while slashing GPU hardware costs by 50%? Seems Brevis isn’t just good at proving speed, but also saving a buck or two. 🤑

LEGO Debuts New (and Affordable) BACK TO THE FUTURE Time Machine Set

Veracity’s Exit: A Tale of Capital and Contrarian Resolve

In the third quarter of this year, as the sun dipped below the horizon of optimism, Veracity Capital LLC, that astute observer of financial landscapes, chose to relinquish its hold on Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality.

One might ask: what drove this calculated retreat? Was it the whisper of caution, the shadow of doubt, or the cold calculus of risk assessment?

Chevron: A Dividend Drinker’s Guide to the Apocalypse

Chevron operates like a pragmatist at a poetry reading. It’s integrated-meaning it’s involved in every dirty, glamorous, and boring part of energy: digging it up (upstream), shoving it through pipes (midstream), and turning it into plastic bags and regret (downstream). This isn’t diversification for diversification’s sake. It’s a hedge against the universe’s tendency to ruin plans. When oil prices crash, refining margins might save the day. When refining tanks, maybe pipelines will limp forward. It’s not pretty, but neither is survival.
