Will generating ZK proof on L2 be decentralised? Which hardware will be used?
I’m not sure if this should be submitted here or on r/Ethermining. But the main thing is ZKP so this should be here? Anyway,
I have some gpu cards which I’ve been using for mining eth and bitcoin in the last 2 years. Since Ethereum is transitioning from PoW to PoS while Bitcoin mining with GPU isn’t that profitable, I’ve been considering to sell those cards
However, yesterday I found this article from Scroll where it says they will generate ZKP in parallel. I guess it means ZK proofing will be the next (somekind of) mining
Then I found this post from Paradigm, according to the article, FPGAs will be used due to its flexibility, ASICs maybe used if a ZKR dominating the L2, while GPUs are the most less likely to be used for generating ZKP
I was disappointed for a min, yet I found this article from Polygon. They invent Plonky2 where it can generates ZKP using M1 Pro GPU on a Macbook in less than a sec
So, should I swap my GPU for ETH LSDs or should I wait for parallel ZK proofing as a substitute for mining?
Cmiiw if there are mistakes on my takes. I’m not really that savvy, you know
