Brevis has launched ProverNet, a decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) marketplace for zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proof) computation. The platform enables users to earn by providing proving capacity and allows applications to access scalable ZK-proof processing. Initially using USDC for settlements, the network plans to transition to its native BREV token upon mainnet launch, which will also introduce staking and slashing mechanisms for provers. ProverNet addresses the computationally intensive nature of ZK-proof generation by distributing tasks through continuous auctions and job matching. Brevis, already an established player, has processed over 250 million proofs for partners like Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and MetaMask. The system is designed to handle variable workloads, offering flexibility and avoiding vendor lock-in. Production workloads, including Ethereum block execution proofs from ETHProofs, are already being migrated to the new network.

零知识证明（ZK-Proof）协处理器Brevis推出其市场平台，允许用户通过计算ZK证明获得收益。

根据Brevis周一的公告，该"ProverNet"去中心化物理基础设施（DePIN）网络允许应用程序访问ZK证明验证能力，同时让计算提供商通过计算证明获利。目前该网络使用Circle的USDC稳定币作为原生结算货币。

不过Brevis计划在ProverNet结束测试阶段并启动主网时，转向尚未发行的BREV代币。在主网上线后，系统还将引入证明者质押机制，并对"不当行为或超时未完成"实施罚没惩罚。

目前ProverNet支持通过持续竞价分配证明任务、USDC支付结算以及证明者注册和任务匹配。证明者现已可以注册并开始竞标任务，应用程序也可以直接向网络提交证明请求。

计算ZK证明需要大量计算资源，这意味着开发人员或用户自行计算通常不切实际。在某些需要大量证明的项目中，这种情况尤为明显。

Brevis长期为行业提供ZK证明处理解决方案。该公司在2023年底宣布支持Uniswap v4钩子功能，可无需信任地读取和计算流动性提供者及交易者的交易历史。

去年10月，去中心化交易所Uniswap基于其技术推出路由返利计划，并宣布Brevis获得资助开发该功能。今年早些时候，Brevis还公布了"MetaMask、Linea和Brevis之间的合作，为MetaMask Card用户提供ZK证明驱动的奖励功能"。

PancakeSwap也集成了Brevis的ZK证明处理功能。在2024年获得币安投资后，该技术还被用于驱动BNB链上无需信任的跨链再质押基础设施。

Brevis声称已为30多个合作伙伴处理超过2.5亿次证明。该组织解释说，他们发现ZK证明的工作负载变化很大，因此开发了ProverNet来提供足够的灵活性：

"从此，应用程序可以获得专用计算能力而无需被供应商绑定，证明者也能找到与其硬件匹配的工作负载。生态系统将形成共享基础设施而非 fragmented silos"。

Brevis在公告中还提到，正在"逐步将生产工作负载迁移至ProverNet"。目前正在迁移"ETHProofs的部分以太坊区块执行证明功能"。

ETHPoofs是一项面向公众的服务，用于生成以太坊区块执行的ZK证明——验证特定区块包含的内容。除其他应用外，这使得跨链验证能够实现最小化信任的桥接。

Only 153 Venture Capital Firms Invested in July: Is the Crypto VC Industry Experiencing a 'Mass Extinction'?

In July 2026, only 153 unique venture capital firms participated in disclosed crypto funding rounds, marking the lowest monthly count since November 2020. This figure represents an 87% decline from the peak of 1,177 firms in 2022. Overall, the first seven months of 2026 saw crypto projects raise approximately $11.78 billion across 481 rounds. This crypto VC contraction contrasts sharply with the broader venture capital landscape, where global VC investment reached a record $560.4 billion in H1 2026, heavily fueled by major AI company financings. This shift in capital allocation has drawn funds away from the crypto sector. Within crypto, funding is highly concentrated. Trading platforms, prediction markets, and payment sectors absorbed 53% of the total capital. While early-stage deals remain frequent, the largest sums flow to a few late-stage rounds and mergers & acquisitions, which surged to $7.23 billion in Q2 2026. The market is consolidating around top funds like a16z crypto and Dragonfly, which successfully raised new multi-billion dollar funds, while many smaller firms have retreated. Analysts describe this as a "great extinction" for crypto VCs, where capital is becoming more selective, favoring proven business models and assets over early-stage speculation. This raises the bar for project quality, funding efficiency, and viable exit paths.

Storage Chip Stocks Skyrocket: Is This a Return to a Bull Market or a Dead Cat Bounce?

The storage chip sector experienced a dramatic overnight rebound in US markets, with major stocks like SK Hynix and Micron surging over 17%. This sharp reversal is attributed to multiple factors: potential short-selling bans and market stabilization measures from South Korea, significant leverage unwinding (with leveraged ETF assets down ~70% from peaks), cooler-than-expected US inflation data easing rate hike fears, and a stellar Microsoft earnings report showing strong cloud/AI demand growth. Microsoft's results, highlighting Azure revenue crossing $100 billion, helped counter the "AI bubble burst" narrative that had pressured the sector. However, the article cautions against declaring a sustained bull market. Key risks remain, including potential further interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, which could pressure global carry trades, and unanswered questions about whether high industry profits can be maintained amid the supply cycle and new competition. Investors are advised to monitor whether gains hold, watch for updates on HBM/DRAM/NAND pricing and orders, and await key upcoming events like NVIDIA's earnings. The conclusion emphasizes disciplined investing—avoiding panic selling or FOMO buying—and using strategies like hedging to manage risk in this volatile environment.

Strategy's Loss in the Second Quarter Reaches $8.22 Billion Amid Bitcoin Decline

Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, reported a net loss of $8.22 billion for the second quarter. This loss was primarily driven by an $8.32 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings due to a decline in the asset's price during the period. Despite these paper losses, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings to 843,775 BTC, a 25% growth since the start of the year. As part of a new monetization strategy, Strategy sold approximately $218.4 million worth of Bitcoin, mainly to fund dividends for preferred shareholders, with $216 million of that sold after Q2 ended. The company also built a $3.75 billion cash reserve, which it claims is sufficient to cover over two years of dividend and interest payments, aiming to insulate itself from Bitcoin's volatility while meeting obligations. Following the earnings release, Strategy's stock (MSTR) rose 4.7% in regular trading but corrected slightly after-hours. This pattern reflects how the company's accounting results are heavily tied to Bitcoin's price swings, even as its long-term strategy remains unchanged. The report indicates that Strategy is maintaining its core strategy of accumulating Bitcoin while building a financial buffer. This quarterly loss follows a recognizable pattern, with the company posting significant unrealized losses in previous quarters (e.g., $12.4 billion in Q4 2025 and ~$12.5 billion in Q1 2026) due to fair-value accounting. A key technical shift is its new monetization program, which introduces periodic selling pressure on the market, transitioning Strategy from a pure accumulator to a participant that occasionally adds supply. A critical question remains: how long can the cash reserve cover dividend obligations if a Bitcoin price downturn persists beyond two years?

Will Terrorist Durov Ban Russian Officials?

Telegram founder Pavel Durov publicly reacted to being labeled a "terrorist" by Russian authorities, stating the designation came after he refused demands for mass surveillance and censorship on the platform. In a Telegram post, he highlighted that this status formally bans him from "publishing information online." Durov concluded with a statement widely circulated: Russian officials "clearly don't understand who can ban whom on the internet." This remark suggests Durov could potentially restrict official Russian government and officials' channels on Telegram, which continue to operate on the platform despite its formal blocking in Russia. The situation parallels previous, slow-moving state directives, like switching officials to domestic cars, contrasted with the current push to migrate all government communication to the Russian-made messenger MAX by 2030. However, reports indicate many officials still use Telegram via workarounds, fearing surveillance on MAX, while alternatives like BiP and KakaoTalk recently became inaccessible in Russia without a VPN. Durov has not specified any immediate actions against state channels. His statement is an initial response, with further developments depending on the authorities' reaction. The dynamic differs from 2020 when Russian regulators lifted a block on Telegram; now, Durov implies control from within the platform itself over the official accounts that persisted through that earlier blockade.

DeepSeek V4 Official Version Arrives, New Capabilities Emerge, Value-for-Money King Enters the Fray

On July 31st, DeepSeek officially launched the public API beta for its DeepSeek-V4-Flash model. A key highlight is its performance on multiple Agent benchmark tests, reportedly nearing or even surpassing the level of the V4-Pro preview version from three months ago. Notably, the Flash model achieves this with significantly smaller scale (130B active parameters vs. Pro's 490B), suggesting that post-training optimization and data quality may be as crucial as raw model size. DeepSeek emphasized that the V4-Flash-0731 uses the same model architecture and size as its preview version, with improvements attributed solely to "re-trained post-training." The update also marks the official debut of DeepSeek's self-developed Agent framework, "Harness." The move signals DeepSeek's strategic push to position its cost-effective Flash model as a competitive base for Agent applications—scenarios requiring autonomous planning, tool usage, and complex task execution—where inference speed and cost are critical. By natively supporting OpenAI's Responses API format and adapting for code-generation scenarios, DeepSeek aims not just to be a cheaper alternative but to establish its own ecosystem in the Agent era. This release follows DeepSeek's record-breaking ~$50 billion fundraising round roughly two months prior, underscoring market confidence in its technology and commercialization prospects. The company is reportedly preparing for another funding round at a valuation of approximately $71 billion. The Flash model's advancement represents a step in fulfilling the high expectations that come with this valuation, setting the stage for the impending release of the V4-Pro official version and intensifying competition in the global Agent landscape.
