Polyhedra Network has launched the open beta of its Proof Cloud at the Google ZK Summit. Proof Cloud is designed to make zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs more accessible in both web2 and web3 environments. Supported by Google Cloud, Polygon, Linea, and Lita, Proof Cloud aims to meet the rising demand for efficient and cost-effective ZK proof technology.
ZK-proof technology allows one party to prove to another that they know a value or statement is true without revealing any information about the value itself. It is commonly used in blockchain and crypto for privacy and security. The Polyhedra Network connects over 25 blockchains through its zkBridge interoperability solution.
Proof Arena: Key Feature of Proof Cloud
A key feature of Proof Cloud is a tool called Proof Arena that offers transparency in ZK-proof technology. This platform enables developers to execute prover benchmarks, test performance, and compare results. Proof Arena supports various ZK-proof systems, including Polyhedra’s Expander, Polygon’s Plonky3, StarkWare’s Stwo, and Linea’s Gnark.
“Through Proof Arena, developers will be able to maximize the performance of their zk-proofs and use the prover that is best suited for their needs. By using the Proof Cloud ZK-as-a-service platform, developers can leverage the fastest and most efficient ZK provers, reducing their computational costs by up to 90%,” said Eric Vreeland, Chief Strategy Officer at Polyhedra Network.
Expert Opinions on Proof Cloud
Sandeep Nailwal, Polygon Labs Co-Founder, highlighted the importance of tools like Proof Cloud in making ZK technology more accessible and transparent. Polygon’s proving technology will be available on Proof Cloud, contributing to cost reduction for developers.
“Zero-knowledge technology continues to progress at a lightning-fast pace. Tools like Polyhedra’s Proof Cloud are critical to lowering the barrier to entry for building with ZK and add much-needed transparency to the space,” said Nailwal.
