The ZK-powered rewards programme leverages zero-knowledge proofs to ensure trustless, transparent user incentives.
OpenEden announced the development of a Zero-Knowledge (ZK) powered rewards programme in partnership with infrastructure provider Brevis. Scheduled to go live in Q3 2025, the initiative is designed to incentivise real user activity across OpenEden’s DeFi ecosystem with trustless and verifiable on-chain rewards.
The ZK-powered rewards programme integrates Brevis’s Continuous Protocol Incentivisation (CPI) framework and zkCoprocessor SDK to monitor and validate user participation across decentralised exchanges (DEXs), yield vaults, lending markets, and liquid restaking platforms. Once verified via Brevis’s zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), eligible users will be able to claim rewards in a transparent and automated manner.
Launching first on Ethereum, the programme will track user interactions on a daily basis and distribute rewards based on verified DeFi activity. OpenEden has also announced plans to expand to Solana and other non-EVM ecosystems, with additional DeFi protocols and eligibility metrics to be added in future phases.
“By leveraging Brevis’s zero-knowledge proofs and trustless infrastructure, we’re building a rewards system that’s transparent and credibly neutral,” said Jeremy Ng, Founder and CEO of OpenEden. “This new initiative is also a testament to our commitment to the DeFi sector as we expand OpenEden’s infrastructure to serve a broader, more inclusive on-chain ecosystem.”
The ZK-powered rewards programme aligns with OpenEden’s broader mission to connect traditional and decentralised finance through compliant, tokenised real-world assets (RWAs). Through its regulated operations in Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands, OpenEden continues to build infrastructure designed to make secure, transparent, and compliant financial access available on-chain.
By partnering with Brevis, OpenEden’s ZK-powered rewards programme benefits from scalable, cost-efficient off-chain computation, reducing on-chain data costs while maintaining the security guarantees of Layer-1 blockchains.
