Introduction
Introductory Guide to Prom.
Prom is a high-performance scalable network based on Polygon CDK, harnessing the power of zero-knowledge proofs. These cryptographic proofs ensure both the authenticity and swift conclusion of transactions conducted off-chain, a process known as ZK-Rollup.
This ZK-Rollup system operates by conducting smart contracts in a transparent manner, generating and publishing zero-knowledge proofs for validation, while preserving complete opcode compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Our documentation offers detailed insights into:
The structure and principles of Prom
Innovative State Machines design strategy
Getting involved with the Testnet and launching on the Mainnet
The documentation further explores the intricate components of Prom network, including the zero-knowledge Prover (zkProver), the inner workings of the State Machines in zkProver, and the specialized toolkit that enables Prom to achieve its goals.
Elevating Ethereum with zkEVM Constrained by the inherent DLT (distributed ledger technology) trilemma, Ethereum's scalability is limited without sacrificing decentralization or security. Prom is crafted to overcome this limitation.
Prom emulates the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) by duplicating all EVM opcodes, allowing for the seamless integration of current Ethereum smart contracts. Our Zero-knowledge Rollups (ZK-Rollups) enhance Ethereum's Mainnet by drastically improving its scalability and transaction processing speed.
To validate the accuracy of off-chain computations, Prom employs verifiable zero-knowledge proofs. These proofs, while based on intricate polynomial calculations, offer efficient and straightforward verification and finalization for off-chain transactions.
Embracing this revolutionary design model was a strategic choice aimed at reducing the friction for both users and developers. It involves recreating all EVM opcodes for transparent integration of existing Ethereum smart contracts, a task accomplished by our newly developed technologies and tools, which we will discuss in later sections of this documentation.
Key Benefits of Prom
Equivalence to EVM
Security derived from Ethereum
Scalability enhanced by ZKP
Developers can effortlessly deploy their existing smart contracts on Prom, and users can move assets from Ethereum for off-chain operations. These operations are grouped and verified by zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring each transaction's validity and safeguarding against misuse of user funds by operators, thus upholding Ethereum's trusted security framework.
Prom network effectively harmonizes compatibility with scalability, making no compromises.
