$PROVE: Why can the ZK proof layer surpass Mina and Oasis?

Key Point: Use zk-SNARKs as “Trust Infrastructure”

PROVE is a decentralized verification network, but it is not another public chain. Its positioning is very clear—using zk-SNARKs to endorse on-chain computations. It may sound a bit abstract, but you will understand when you look at the three core scenarios:

Privacy vs Verifiable Trade-offs Using zk-SNARKs for off-chain computation verification allows both data and results to remain confidential, while the computation process is publicly auditable. Supply chain traceability scenarios like Walmart and Moutai benefit the most from this approach—saving 80% of verification costs.

Cross-chain Identification Support for mutual recognition of verification results between Ethereum, Polkadot, and Solana, which is the “notary” role in the multi-chain era.

Cost Killer The cost of generating proofs is only 1/10 of the industry average, directly lowering the technical threshold for micropayments. International transfers only require 0.0003 PROVE (on-chain fee level).

Three-layer Design of Token Model

Pay Tier: Who needs to prove who pays PROVE, the protocol takes a 5% fee into the ecological fund.

Staking Layer: Nodes stake PROVE to participate in consensus, with an annualized return of 18% (industry average 12%). Cross-chain verification nodes receive an additional 30% reward. There is a slashing mechanism to ensure security.

Governance Layer: Token holders vote to decide on fees and upgrade parameters. The current fee rate is 0.1%.

Why is it more promising than competitors?

vs Aleph Zero: Prove is more focused on “verification as a service” in this niche, not a universal public chain.

vs Mina: Mina is a lightweight chain design, while Prove is an off-chain computation framework, with completely different approaches.

vs Oasis: Both are focused on privacy computing, but Prove has stronger cross-chain interoperability and lower ecosystem access costs.

Follow-up Highlights

Mainnet launch in Q3 2025, supporting ETH/SOL/DOT validation.

In Q1 2026, we will launch the Proof-as-a-Service API, allowing enterprises to use it without understanding zk-SNARKs.

In Q3 2026, we may collaborate with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission to conduct compliance verification for the security token (STO) – this is a major track.

The long-term goal is to become the “Web3 Trust Computing Layer”, where any on-chain smart contract can call off-chain trusted data.

Core competitiveness is: low cost + cross-chain recognition + clear application scenarios. It is not just a concept; the technology stack is quite mature.
