NovaNet
NovaNet is a peer-to-peer decentralized prover network that brings memory-efficient zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to a wide range of devices, applications, and blockchains. By utilizing non-uniform incremental verifiable computation (NIVC) and supporting WebAssembly (WASM), NovaNet aims to create a privacy-preserving, verifiable, and scalable internet. The network incentivizes participation and focuses on applications in infrastructure, DePIN, gaming, and verifiable AI.

Description
NovaNet is a peer-to-peer decentralized prover network revolutionizing digital verification by bringing fast, memory-efficient zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to every device, application, and blockchain. The core of its technology is based on non-uniform incremental verifiable computation (NIVC) from the SuperNova proving scheme, which enables a highly portable and customizable zero-knowledge virtual machine. This memory efficiency allows provers to operate on a wide range of hardware, from high-performance data centers to resource-constrained IoT devices, democratizing access to ZK proving. NovaNet's protocol optimizes for prover cooperation through game-theoretic incentives, aiming for lower costs, enhanced privacy, and greater portability compared to traditional centralized models. The platform is initially built on WebAssembly (WASM) for broad compatibility and is designed to be modular and extensible. Key use cases include enhancing privacy and security for modular blockchains, DePIN, gaming, and verifiable AI. The project plans to open-source most of its code to foster community collaboration, with a testnet launch anticipated for late 2024.Grant Funding
