Firestarter
Firestarter is a production-ready universal proving network. Generate any proof at a fraction of the cost.
Under the hood, Firestarter is a permissioned version of ZkCloud. Projects can start using Firestarter for their proving needs today, and once the ZkCloud mainnet is thoroughly tested and stable, they can transition over.


How It Works
About Firestarter
Firestarter is a high-performance compute network optimized for ZK. It is designed to scale to thousands of prover nodes handling both CPU and GPU workloads, as well as incorporate new hardware as that becomes available. Users can generate proofs using one of the pre-deployed provers, such as Risc0, SP1, Nexus, Aztec, ZKsync, Starkware, Linea, Scroll & Polygon or by deploying their own. Firestarter also has out-of-the-box integrations to Polygon CDK and ZK Stack chains.
Under the hood, Firestarter is an end-to-end implementation of Gevulot’s ZkCloud, just running in a permissioned fashion. The full system is made up of a blazingly fast CometBFT-based chain, which handles Credits, workload allocation and monitoring, and a network of prover nodes that provide compute for generating zk proofs.

Run your own node
Run a node
We encourage Firestarter participants to run their own hardware or independently sourced servers equally to renting them from Gevulot. The Nodes are eligible for mainnet token rewards for the lifetime of the Firestarter network. A notice will be given 30 prior the rewards end.
The onboarding process and amount of nodes eligible for rewards are subject to application and written confirmation from the team.

Initial Supply: 1,000,000,000 $PROOF (at TGE)
Roadmap
Current roadmap status
We have delivered production-ready proving, and now we’re on our way to permissionless.
01
Firestarter
LIVE
- A production-ready compute network with ludicrously low costs, low latency and optimal proving performance
- Firestarter is designed to scale with near-term production demand.
- Currently onboarding 1000+ prover nodes.
02
ZkCloud Testnet
ETA SOON
- A dedicated network for testing consensus with geographically distributed validators.
- E2E integration testing with wallets, exchanges, custodians, etc.
- ZkCloud Testnet and Firestarter will run in parallel.
03
ZkCloud Mainnet
ETA Q1 2025
- Fully permissionless, decentralized cloud optimized for zero-knowledge proving - powered by $PROOF
- Seamless transition for production projects from Firestarter into ZkCloud Mainnet in 2025
