Definition ∞ A Decentralized Prover Network consists of multiple independent entities that generate cryptographic proofs for computational statements in a distributed manner. These networks enhance the security and verifiability of computations off-chain. They contribute to the scalability of blockchain systems by offloading complex processing. Participants are incentivized to provide accurate proofs.
Context ∞ The advancement of decentralized prover networks is a critical area for scaling layer-2 solutions and zero-knowledge technologies. Current discussions address the challenges of coordinating provers, ensuring proof validity, and optimizing the economic incentives for network participants. Monitoring the development of these networks is important for understanding future blockchain throughput improvements.
