A Prover Compensation Model establishes how participants who produce cryptographic verifications for a blockchain network are remunerated for their computational labor. These models are fundamental for motivating provers in systems like zero-knowledge rollups, where they conduct intensive calculations to validate transactions off-chain and then present a succinct verification on-chain. Remuneration can take diverse forms, including transaction charges, native token distributions, or a blend of these, crafted to cover operational expenses and yield a profit margin. The model’s efficacy directly influences the security and operational speed of the rollup.
Context
Conversations concerning prover compensation models often address the difficulties of formulating lasting and equitable incentive structures that draw adequate proving capability. A central discussion point involves balancing the necessity for competitive remuneration to secure the network with reducing expenses for end-users. Important future advancements include adaptive compensation frameworks that modify based on network traffic or proof intricacy, and the incorporation of credibility systems to consistently reward dependable provers.
A new transaction fee mechanism for ZK-Rollup prover markets is proposed, transforming centralized proof generation into a competitive, decentralized commodity.
