Proving
Enabling Boojum prover
With the default configuration, your ZK chain is not running a prover, and has a DummyExecutor contract, which mainly “accepts” that a batch is executed without proof. This enables you to test it with much lower hardware requirements.
To enable the prover, run the zkstack prover init command. It will guide you through the necessary configuration.
There are two options for running the Boojum prover: in GPU, or in CPU.
Running a prover is not required for deploying a testnet. The requirements below are only necessary if you want to enable the prover.
Requirements for GPU Prover
The docker compose file assumes you will be running all components in the same machine. The current minimum requirements for a low TPS scenario are:
- 6 GB VRAM NVIDIA GPU
- 16 Core CPU
- 64 GB of RAM
- 300 GB of Disk Space (SSD preferred)
Requirements for CPU Prover
The docker compose file assumes you will be running all components in the same machine. The current minimum requirements for a low TPS scenario are:
- 32 Core CPU
- 128 GB of RAM
- 700 of Disk Space (SSD preferred)
