A Prover Network is a distributed system of independent participants responsible for generating cryptographic proofs for transactions or computations. These participants, known as provers, compete or collaborate to produce verifiable proofs that confirm the integrity of off-chain or aggregated data. This network underpins the security and scalability of zero-knowledge rollups and similar scaling solutions. It ensures that computations are verifiable without revealing all data.
Context
Prover Networks are crucial for the continued advancement of scalable blockchain architectures, particularly in the context of ZK-rollups. Discussions frequently involve the economic incentives for provers, the latency of proof generation, and the decentralization of the network to prevent single points of failure. Future developments include optimizing proof generation hardware and software, and establishing more efficient markets for proof services to support increasing demand.
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.
