21 Aug - 3 Sept 2023
In the past two weeks I have been working on our project from different angles:
- I spent quite some time working on the project presentation along with my teammates, Nilu and Rachit. We presented our project proposal last Tuesday, 29 Aug 2023 in the EPF Office Hours.
- We have also extended our project's scope to prover selection. The selection process is an integral part of prover models, impacts network health and needs further analysis to allow us to find an optimal prover model. The project proposal has been updated accordingly.
- We have also updated our mentor, Barnabé on the current status of our project and requested feedback.
- I finalized my research notes on Taiko and Scroll. They can be found here:

- Scroll: https://hackmd.io/@norbertvadas/Bk8bBaja3
A new set of amazing documents have been published by the Scroll team after the Scroll-Sepolia testnet go-live. Thus I spent a lot of time to dive deep into the docs to capture the latest state of the protocol development.
- We have further extended the draft analysis framework/matrix for finding an optimal prover model, as well as the comparison table for existing zk-rollups. In addition we have come up with the following criteria and questions to critically evaluate various prover mechanisms.
- I have done further research through articles, talks and researches from which I mention some of the most useful below:
- On decentralized provers
- zkEVM comparison:
- Prover networks and zk-rollup comparison
