Episode notes
Proving from Your Phone: A Distant Dream
- The vision of ubiquitous prover node operation from personal devices is still distant.
- Currently, significant hardware is required to operate a prover node effectively.
Strive for Universal Proving
- Design prover networks with universal proving capabilities.
- Support diverse proof systems or allow users to deploy their own prover programs.
Randomness in Workload Allocation
- ZK Cloud uses a randomness-based workload allocation mechanism.
- This promotes neutrality and prevents large entities from monopolizing proving power.
