A Decentralized Prover is an independent network participant responsible for generating cryptographic proofs in a distributed manner. These proofs confirm the validity of transactions or computations without revealing underlying data. This distributed approach enhances the security and integrity of verifiable computations on a blockchain. It ensures that proof generation is not controlled by a single entity.
Context
The development of Decentralized Prover networks is a key area of innovation for scaling solutions like zero-knowledge rollups, which rely heavily on efficient and trustworthy proof generation. Current discussions focus on incentivizing a robust and geographically distributed set of provers to prevent censorship or collusion. Future work includes optimizing proof generation algorithms and establishing fair economic models to support a global network of independent provers.
A new two-step submission algorithm for zero-knowledge proofs fundamentally decentralizes the ZK-Rollup prover role, eliminating single-node failure risk and distributing economic rewards.
