Brevis: An "intelligent engine" featuring the concept of "infinite computing layer"

Project Introduction

Brevis is an off-chain computation engine built on zero-knowledge proofs, positioned as the "infinite computation layer for Web 3 and everything." Simply put, Brevis makes smart contracts "smarter," shifting from passive execution to active computation. This reduces computational costs and improves efficiency, facilitating user interaction with the protocol, facilitating asset accumulation, and boosting protocol adoption. The project raised $7.5 million in seed funding last November, led by Polychain and Yzi Labs (formerly Binance Labs). (For a detailed introduction to Brevis, see: Unveiling Brevis: Vitalik's Favor, $7.5 Million in Funding, How Does the Off-Chain Computation Engine Unlock a New Paradigm for Ethereum? )

On October 15th, Vitalik, who had been absent for a long time, posted again. This time, he did not express his philosophical thoughts as before, but instead supported one of his favorite projects in the ZK track: Brevis, the ZK computing layer.

OpenMind: Building a universal operating system and decentralized collaborative network for intelligent machines

Project Introduction

Founded by Stanford University Professor Jan Liphardt, OpenMind is dedicated to building a universal operating system and decentralized collaborative network for intelligent machines, enabling robots of all manufacturers and forms to securely trust each other, share information, and collaborate globally. Its core products include the OM-1 operating system and the FABRIC collaboration protocol. The former empowers robots of all kinds with perception, adaptation, and action, while the latter provides cross-platform authentication and secure collaboration. Together, they create an open and secure "nervous system" for robots worldwide.

In early August this year, OpenMind announced the completion of a US$20 million financing round , led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Ribbit, Sequoia Capital, Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Lightspeed Faction, Anagram, Pi Network Ventures, Topology, Primitive Ventures, Amber Group and other institutions as well as many well-known angel investors.

Interactive Tutorial

STEP 1. Go to the interactive website (link: https://fabric.openmind.org/sign-in ) and register using your Google email.

STEP 2. Click your personal account in the lower left corner and select "Profile". The specific steps are as shown below.

STEP 3. After clicking “Mint My Identity on FABRIC,” connect your wallet, switch to the Base network, and click “Mint” (your wallet’s mainnet account must hold at least 0.001 ETH).
