Brevis is a modular ZK coprocessor that fuses off-chain computation with on-chain verification, enabling DApps to efficiently access and process full historical on-chain data via succinct ZK proofs. Efficiency framework: Heavy computation (e.g., data aggregation, complex queries) occurs off-chain, generating compact ZK proofs verified on-chain at low gas cost. This drastically reduces on-chain expenses and latency compared to pure on-chain execution. Investment appeal to DApp developers: Developers can build data-intensive applications (DeFi analytics, dynamic NFTs, on-chain games) without high costs or trust assumptions, lowering entry barriers and enabling scalable, innovative products that attract users and capital. ZK advantages: Trustless verification, cryptographic security, privacy preservation, and composability—ensuring correctness without revealing underlying data, while maintaining Ethereum-level security.

As Layer 2 (L2) fees have plummeted—dropping 40-90% after upgrades like Dencun (2024) and Fusaka (2025)—Ethereum has seen explosive user growth and transaction volume shifting off L1. L2s now scale activity ~85x over L1. However, ETH burning (via EIP-1559 base fees) occurs only on L1. Reduced L1 congestion has driven base fees to record lows, slashing daily burns to ~130 ETH (vs. issuance of thousands). Current data shows net inflationary supply (+0.8%/year), with minimal blob-related burns despite high L2 usage. This weakens ETH's "ultrasound money" deflationary narrative short-term. Longer-term, surging L2 data posting could boost blob fees and burns (potentially 30-50% of total by late 2026), but adoption currently favors issuance over deflation.

The PEPE coin's "silver reflection" metaphor positions it as a digital analogue to silver—deflationary with reflection rewards (e.g., 3% transaction tax redistributed to holders), offering community-driven value like precious metals' store-of-value appeal. Community Value Potential: Strong meme culture fosters viral growth, with holder loyalty boosting liquidity and adoption. In 2026, potential for NFT integrations or DeFi yields could elevate it beyond hype. Precious Metals Competition Risks: Volatility from market sentiment contrasts silver's tangible stability; regulatory crackdowns on memes or inflation hedging via gold/silver could divert investors. Holding/Conversion Strategy: Hold during bull runs for reflection accumulation; convert 20-30% to stablecoins/USDT on 10%+ dips. Reflection Evaluation Framework: Assess via (1) Holder distribution (concentration risk), (2) Tx volume/reflection yield (ROI), (3) Community sentiment (X metrics), (4) vs. benchmarks like SHIB. Monitor quarterly.
