In a significant development for the world of blockchain and decentralized computation, ZKPool and MinerDAO have announced a partnership. ZKPool is a platform that aims to connect ZKP (Zero Knowledge Proof) projects and ZKP provers, facilitating the flow of Zero Knowledge Proof in the digital world. On the other hand, MinerDAO is a leading open-source community that focuses on building blockchain infrastructure for decentralized computation, decentralized storage, P2P CDN, and staking.

This document introduces how new or existing ZKP projects can access ZKPool's prover resources. It covers the background, the module structure, the interface, and the flow. The goal is to make it easier for ZKP projects to access ZKPool and utilize its open and decentralized proving system with an economical design.

Thanks to ZeroKPunk for the review and feedback.

Today marks the launch of ZKPool A1, which is our first step towards two-tier proving tokenomics. This upgrade supports Taiko A5, which will have off-chain prover selection. ZKPool receives proof tasks and rewards from sequencers, and the Taiko contract acts as an arbitrator to publish tasks and send rewards.

ZKPool is dedicated to building the infrastructure for Ethereum zkEVM projects. One important zkEVM project is ZKSync Era.

zkEVM is part of Ethereum zk-Rollup. It's an EVM-compatible virtual machine that supports generating Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP).
