Founding Protocol Engineer - Prover Network

About Prover Network

Prover Network is developing the infrastructure necessary to meet the increasing demands for proof generation, due to the increasing popularity of zero-knowledge proofs. While proof generation is time-consuming for end users, leading to a bad user experience, proof generation for industrial provers requires them to deploy power-hungry and partially utilized GPUs, leading to the challenging task of making the proof generation business economical. Prover Network aims to solve the problem by creating a platform for easy delegation of the proving task.

Prover Network will build a specialized zkVM optimized not only for fast parallel proving, but also for privacy-preserving delegation. Furthermore, it will build a platform around it for seamless delegation of proving computation and for fast proving.
