MetaMask, in collaboration with Linea and Brevis, has launched a new rewards program that leverages zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology to enhance the yield experience for MetaMask Card users. Beginning on August 13, 2025, users who have at least one successful card transaction automatically qualify for an additional 2.4% fixed annual percentage rate (APR) on

. The program is fully automatic and does not require any opt-ins or additional approvals [1].

Rewards are calculated using four-hour epochs based on time-weighted average balances and are settled entirely on-chain. This ensures complete transparency and eliminates the need for intermediaries. The backend of the program is powered by Brevis’ ZK proof system on its Incentra platform, which enables trustless and verifiable reward distribution. Each proof confirms that the user is eligible, maintains an active position during the epoch, and receives the correct amount according to Aave’s on-chain data [1].

The initiative aims to redefine traditional Web3 incentive models, which often involve centralized oversight or complex eligibility criteria. By utilizing ZK proofs, the partners have created a decentralized, tamper-proof system that streamlines the reward process and ensures fairness. The program is described as a "blueprint for open, permissionless, and tamper-free Web3 incentives" and marks a significant step toward broader adoption of on-chain reward mechanisms [1].

Brevis sees this partnership as a pivotal moment in the development of scalable ZK infrastructure for the crypto industry. The architecture supports potential expansion into multi-protocol and cross-chain reward systems, opening the door for more integrated and seamless financial experiences. With rewards now hosted on Incentra, MetaMask Card users engaging in USDC lending or borrowing on the Linea market of Aave can benefit from the vision of trustless and transparent finance [1].
