Decentralized Finance rewards distribution has always been a major issue. Users have to check tables and wait for audit reports to receive their rewards, and the project party has the final say. In case of disputes, it generally relies on shifting blame.
Brevis recently collaborated with Euler on an interesting idea - using zero-knowledge proof technology to make reward calculations transparent. In simple terms, the rewards you should receive are no longer calculated by the project party in the background and told to you, but are directly proven by on-chain data. Mathematics doesn't lie, and the code can't be changed.
The core of this mechanism is to create verifiable proof from on-chain behavioral data. The amount of liquidity you provided, the number of transactions you made, and how long you held your positions can all generate cryptographic evidence. The verification process is automatic and does not require manual review, nor do you have to worry about black box operations.
For DeFi protocols, this can save a lot of dispute resolution costs. For users, receiving rewards feels more solid - it's not about "trusting the project party", but rather "trusting mathematics".

Ha, finally someone thought of using math to keep the project party in check. I was already tired of that trap of black box auditing + manual disputes.

actually, the algorithmic elegance here is precisely what separates the paradigm shift from mere tokenomics theater... zero-knowledge proofs as the ultimate blockchain primitive for trustless reward computation. finally, mathematics becomes the immutable judge instead of some shadowy backend audit trail. this is what digital sovereignty actually looks like in practice.

To be honest, this trap of zk-SNARKs is indeed refreshing, finally we don't have to be casually fooled by the project party.

technically speaking, zero-knowledge proofs solving reward distribution is basically just shifting trust from oracles to cryptography... which honestly™ is still trust, just with different failure modes. but yeah, at least it's non-trivial progress.

Finally, someone has used technology to solve this problem. Compared to the sweet talk of those project parties, I trust mathematics more.
