<problem> Generating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for cryptographic applications requires significant computational resources, creating a barrier to entry for many projects. Existing solutions often lack predictable pricing and optimized performance, hindering the widespread adoption of ZK technology. </problem> <solution> Fermah provides a universal proof generation layer that connects projects needing ZKPs with a marketplace of GPU and FPGA resources. This platform offers efficient and reliable proof generation for various cryptographic applications, ensuring predictable pricing and optimized performance. By abstracting away the complexity of ZK proofs, Fermah aims to make ZKPs the default substrate for all computation. The platform supports all major proving systems, including zkVMs, zkEVMs, and Groth16. </solution> <features> - Marketplace connecting ZKP demand with GPU and FPGA supply - Support for various proof systems, including zkVMs, zkEVMs, and Groth16 - Transparent and predictable pricing models with SLAs available - Tunable price/performance optimization for proof generation - Credibly neutral architecture with no inherent biases - Data-protected proving delegation (coming soon) </features> <target_audience> The primary target audience includes Web3 projects, decentralized applications (dApps), and cryptographic applications requiring efficient and reliable ZKP generation. </target_audience>
