Prover Service
This section heavily relies on background information found in the Prover Contract portion of these docs. Please read this section of the docs before proceeding.
As part of the Alpha release of the Eco Protocol, Eco Inc. will run a prover service that will prove the settlement and destination chain state roots on the Prover contracts on both Optimism and Base. Eco Inc. will also run a service to prove the status of all filled intents on the Inbox contracts.
Eco Inc. will do this periodically as a service for the entire system. This will allow fillers to share the cost of proving settlement and destination routes over many intent fills, which will dramatically reduce the costs associated with providing intent fulfillment.
The GitHub Repo for prover service will be open sourced and linked here in the coming months.
The Future of the Proving Service
There are a number of planned improvements and optimizations to the protocol that will considerably reduce the cost of running the prover service. If you are interested in learning about these, please explore the following sections in the future considerations section of this documentation:
When implemented, the cost of running the prover service will be trivial enough for a designated party or set of designated parties to provide prover services indefinitely.
