What is the Prover, and where does its code run?

Original Post

The vlayer Prover is a special program written as a Solidity smart contract. It handles large, private calculations off-chain (outside of the main blockchain).

The Proverโ€™s code runs on the vlayer zkEVM system, which currently works on cloud servers or on a userโ€™s computer.

The result of this calculation is called a "proof". Only this result gets sent to the blockchain, while the inputs and actual steps in the calculation stay private.

Still under investigation. We will write all specs soon in our docs
