How are Brevis and Opinion Labs redefining reliability in prediction markets?

The Scaling Challenge: When Demand Outpaces Infrastructure

Prediction markets are experiencing explosive growth. Opinion Labs, since its launch on the BNB chain in October of 2025, already dominates 40% of the market share with a weekly trading volume of $1.5 billion. Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi also record billions in transactions. However, this success reveals a critical weakness: traditional resolution systems rely on centralized or manual validation oracles, creating vulnerabilities that allow manipulation and reduce transparency. The industry needed a solution that guarantees integrity without compromising execution speed.

The Technical Solution: Zero-Knowledge as Verification

This is where the strategic partnership between Opinion Labs and Brevis comes in. Brevis’s zero-knowledge co-processor operates through an intricate yet elegant three-stage process. First, developers specify exactly which on-chain data they need to query from blockchain history. Second, Brevis executes custom business logic off-chain and generates a zero-knowledge proof that certifies the accuracy of the calculation without revealing its internal details. Third, these verified results are returned on-chain via standard callbacks, enabling smart contracts to operate with cryptographic certainty.

For prediction markets, this means trustless settlements backed by mathematical proofs. Token prices, transaction volumes, and blockchain events can now be tracked and verified accurately, eliminating the need to trust centralized authorities. Each resolution transaction generates a permanent and immutable record, providing users with guarantees that were previously impossible.

Toward Institutional Adoption

Opinion Labs already demonstrates that there is massive demand for innovative infrastructure. The broader trend is clear: zero-knowledge proofs are transforming decentralized finance. Projections indicate that the ZK industry will grow from $1.29 billion in 2024 to $7.69 billion by 2030, driven by both institutional adoption and the increasing demand for secure and verifiable computations.

This collaboration between Opinion Labs and Brevis is emblematic of a fundamental shift. As the prediction market sector approaches $50 billion in annual volume, verifiable settlement ceases to be a luxury and becomes a requirement. Platforms that integrate cryptographic verification have gained institutional trust. Cutting-edge technology is finally solving the real challenges of decentralized finance.
