ZkCloud

What is ZkCloud ?

ZkCloud is a universal Zero-Knowledge (ZK) infrastructure designed for fast, cost-effective, and decentralized proof generation. It supports any proof system, making provable computation accessible and efficient.

By aggregating workloads from various industries, ZkCloud ensures high performance and scalability. Its architecture delivers near-centralized proving speeds while maintaining the security and availability of a decentralized network.

ZkCloud operates a dual-node structure:

• Provers: Execute proving tasks and verify proofs.
• Validators: Process transactions, order them into blocks, and ensure consensus.

How does PROOF staking work on ZkCloud?

Staking is a great way for long-term crypto investors to earn passive income on their Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency assets (such as PROOF) while taking part in securing the network.

Stakers, by delegating tokens to validators, give voting rights to these to validate transactions on the blockchain and propose new blocks. The more stake is attributed to a validator, the more it will be able to take part in the network consensus and earn rewards for its stakers.

A quick example: Suppose a blockchain network offers a 5% reward rate for a staking period of 1 year (5% APR). You decide to lock up and stake 100 tokens on the network. After a year, you can access your staked tokens, and you receive 5 additional tokens as your reward – minus eventual fees charged by the staking provider.

Staking Proof-of-Stake (PoS) cryptocurrencies such as ZkCloud do not require stakers to transfer their token to validators. It is a non-custodial process.
