Gnosis Chain Looks Forward to Competitive Marketplace for Prover Needs
Gnosis Chain's team, operating ZK light clients for both their platform and Hashi Alliance, is anticipating a competitive marketplace for their prover needs. They believe that such a marketplace, offering a variety of circuit implementations and computational options, could address many of their concerns.
As a team running ZK light clients in production for both @gnosischain and @hashialliance, a competitive marketplace for our prover needs, both in terms of computation but also variety of circuit implementation, could alleviate lots of our concerns. Looking forward to this!
But with time, customers who were relying our platform for really critical parts of their protocol (like bridging) started asking questions about long-term lock-in, liveness guarantees of the system and more.
Back in summer 2023 the Telepathy ZK light client by @SuccinctLabs was added as a validator on the @gnosischain bridge. Lessons learnt after 6 months of ops in prod 馃憞
