Zero-knowledge (ZK) technology is no longer just a buzzword , it’s quickly becoming the backbone of privacy, scalability, and verifiable computation across the internet. But while ZK proofs are incredibly powerful, they’re also notoriously resource-intensive and complex to generate. That’s where ZkCloud comes in.

So, what is ZkCloud?

ZkCloud is a universal proving infrastructure, a decentralized network purpose-built to generate and verify ZK proofs. Whether you’re a developer building rollups, privacy applications, or verifiable AI models, ZkCloud provides the proving backend, so you don’t need to spin up expensive infrastructure or rely on centralized services.

Why does ZkCloud matter?

Today, generating ZK proofs is slow and costly. You either build your own setup or use traditional cloud services that weren’t designed for proving. ZkCloud flips this model by offering a prover network, a decentralized compute layer that brings the cost of proof generation down by up to 95% compared to hyperscalers like AWS or GCP.

With ZkCloud, developers can:

• Access cost-efficient, on-demand ZK proving capacity

• Outsource proof generation without sacrificing decentralization

• Use CPUs, GPUs, and even custom configurations for specific prover programs

• Deploy customized prover sets and verifier logic

What makes it different?

ZkCloud is not a blockchain. It’s foundational infrastructure, built to support all ZK applications — from rollups and bridges to zkML and verifiable RPCs. It supports multiple zkVMs, aggregates proofs, and makes large-scale proving accessible to everyone.

The economic model is smart too:

• You only pay for what you use.

• Nodes earn by proving and verifying.

• There’s full permissionless participation for provers and validators.

The $PROOF token (launching soon) will serve as the native utility and incentive mechanism that powers the network. It will be used for paying compute, staking, securing the network, and rewarding participants.

Why now?

ZkCloud’s mainnet is on the horizon. After launching its Devnet and Firestarter universal proving layer in 2024, the network is gearing up to go live. A growing list of validators and infrastructure partners are already onboard, including RockawayX, Allnodes, Lavender.Five, and others.

If you believe in a ZK-powered internet, ZkCloud is the proving engine making it real.
