Run a Prover
Provers carry on the computation-heavy task of creating Zero-Knowledge proofs (ZKP), which are a requirement for privacy-preserving transactions on Dusk and for certain ZK-powered applications.
Provers are specialized nodes responsible for handling the computationally intensive task of creating Zero-Knowledge Proofs. These proofs are essential for enabling the privacy-preserving feature of the Phoenix transaction model. Given the high computational demands of ZKPs, configuring a Prover with the right specifications is crucial to ensure optimal performance.
Prover Specifications
The performance of a Prover largely depends on the number of workers that the server can manage simultaneously. Since generating ZK proofs is a single-threaded process, having strong single-core performance is vital to complete proofs efficiently and reduce transaction finalization time.
