Fermah is Generating Proofs for the Elastic Network!
TL;DR
Fermah has integrated with Matter Labs’ ZK Stack, the engine powering the Elastic Network. With Fermah, proof generation for ZK Chains is now moving to its next phase of robust decentralization.
What is the Elastic Network?
ZKsync’s Elastic Network is an ever-expanding network of ZK rollups, secured by cryptography. It is designed for native, trustless, low-cost interoperability, delivering a seamless and intuitive user experience across all ZK Chains powered by the ZK Stack.
What is the ZK Stack?
Matter Labs’ ZK Stack is a modular, developer-friendly framework for creating customized, interoperable ZK-powered blockchains. All chains built on the ZK Stack share users and liquidity leveraging native interoperability, forming a unified ecosystem. Interoperability enabled trustless communication between chains, relying entirely on cryptography rather than centralized intermediaries.
Why Does This Matter?
Today’s multichain user experience is fragmented and inefficient. The Elastic Network and the ZK Stack aim to solve this problem using the power of zero-knowledge technology.
At the heart of every ZK rollup is its proof generation infrastructure, a critical component that must be fast, efficient, and cost-effective.
Fermah is the Endgame
Generating ZK proofs has traditionally been slow and expensive. It demands a universal proof market equipped with strong mechanism design to optimize costs and reduce proof generation times through intelligent orchestration.
Fermah fixes this.
Fermah is a universal proof market capable of generating proofs for any proof system, chain, or VM. It removes the complexity of managing proof generation infrastructure. You simply send Fermah a proof request and get your proof back – fast, cheap, and more reliable.
Fermah helps Elastic Network realize its Vision
By integrating with the ZK Stack, Fermah delivers unparalleled efficiency and decentralization to proof generation for the Elastic Network. Decentralization is a core ethos of ZKsync's vision, as highlighted in a recent blog by Matter Labs. Given that these chains are ZK-powered, the proving component is a critical part of its infrastructure.
Fermah helps the Elastic Network bring this vision to life. With its robust network of prover nodes on the supply side, bootstrapped with EigenLayer Operators, Fermah enhances the proving component of the ZK Stack by providing both decentralization and scalability.
