The economic system that incentivizes and rewards entities for generating cryptographic proofs for transactions or computations. This involves mechanisms where participants are compensated for contributing to the network’s security and data integrity. The ‘Prover Economy’ is fundamental to the operation of certain zero-knowledge proof systems.
Context
The ‘Prover Economy’ is a subject of increasing interest as technologies like zero-knowledge rollups gain traction. Discussions revolve around the sustainability of prover rewards, the potential for centralization among large-scale proof generators, and the competitive dynamics within this nascent market. The evolution of its incentive structures is critical for the long-term viability of these privacy-preserving and scaling solutions.
