Whenever Brevis's zero-knowledge proof technology is mentioned, it’s often met with a barrage of ZK jargon that can be intimidating. To be honest, once you peel back those complex terms, this set of tools essentially does the job of a "notary office."

Looking at several projects within the BSC ecosystem makes this clear. The hook functions Brevis provides to Pancake? Essentially, they prove that a user is indeed a large DEX trader with sufficient trading volume and history. The gas-free payment scheme designed for PieUSD? In simple terms, it uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify that the AI payment process is free of anomalies, ensuring each fund flow is compliant.

There are many other similar scenarios. The core advantage of this technical framework is that it can help various DeFi protocols perform identity verification, transaction validation, and compliance checks without exposing users' specific data. User privacy is protected, and project teams gain the necessary trust mechanisms.

Rather than being intimidated by ZK academic terminology, it’s better to understand it from a practical perspective — it’s essentially a "third-party certification tool" in the blockchain world, acting as a "witness" between trading parties. Once you grasp this logic, understanding the technical details becomes much easier.
