Article 2: “Decentralized Proofreader Network: A Resilient Infrastructure for ZKP Proofs”

Succinct Labs' decentralized Proofer Network is an open platform that allows developers to request ZKP proofs from a distributed network of Proofers.

This network operates as an open market where proofers compete to offer the best prices and performance. The network is governed by an auction mechanism that ensures a fair distribution of orders and reliable proofs.

🔍 What is the Decentralized Proofreader Network?

The Decentralized Proofing Network is a protocol built on the Ethereum network that aims to provide a decentralized marketplace for generating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs).

This network allows developers to submit requests for ZKP proofs, with provers competing to fulfill these requests at the best price and performance. The PROVE token is used as the payment currency within the network, incentivizing provers to provide high-quality proofs at competitive prices.

⚙️ Network structure

The network is designed as a verifiable application (vApp), where key operations such as bidding and order allocation are managed off-chain by the auctioneer. The network records the final state and proofs on the Ethereum network using smart contracts, ensuring transparency and reliability. This design is very similar to Layer 2 designs, where execution is separated from settlement on-chain.

🔐 Governance and Security

The network provides a decentralized governance mechanism via the PROVE token, allowing the community to participate in decisions related to network development.

The token is also used in the bidding mechanism, where installers place their bids using PROVE.

These mechanisms contribute to enhancing the security and sustainability of the network.

🌐 Applications and Uses

The network supports a wide range of applications, including:

ZK Rollups: Improving blockchain scalability by generating ZKP proofs.

Network Bridges: Verifying data or messages between different networks without the need for a trusted intermediary.

Games: Providing decentralized proofs of operations within games.

Artificial Intelligence: Validating models and decisions made by AI systems.

This network makes it easy to integrate ZKP proofs into existing applications without the need for complex infrastructure, opening up new avenues for developing reliable and verifiable applications.
