Prover Staking Mechanism

Definition

A Prover Staking Mechanism is a system where participants who generate cryptographic proofs deposit a certain amount of collateral. This collateral, or stake, serves as an economic incentive for honest behavior and a deterrent against malicious actions. If a prover acts improperly, a portion or all of their stake may be penalized. This ensures the integrity of generated proofs.
