Open Grant Proposal: Add Aleo Prover proof to the swan zk market

Project Name:ALEO-ZK-UBI.

Proposal Category: Applications.

Individual or Entity Name: SoterHQ.

Proposer: SoterHQ.

Do you agree to open source all work you do on behalf of this RFP under the MIT/Apache-2 dual-license?: Yes.

Project Summary

Swan Chain offers a platform where these compute-intensive tasks can be outsourced to a global network of computing providers, incentivized by the prospect of earning through the platform's Universal Basic Income (UBI) model.
aleo-zk-ubi is a ZK market implementation built on the Swan Chain. It allows Prover in the Aleo network to submit the zk-proof task (Puzzle Solution) to the Swan Network. Computing Providers (CPs) in the Swan Network can earn corresponding UBI rewards by completing these tasks.

Impact

1. Lack of efficient utilization of resources: The project aims to utilize resources effectively by allowing Provers in the Aleo network to offload zk proof generation tasks to the Swan Network, potentially reducing redundancy and optimizing resource allocation.
2. Incentive misalignment: By offering UBI rewards to Computing Providers (CPs) for completing tasks, the project seeks to align incentives within the ecosystem, encouraging participation and contribution.
3. Increased participation: Offering UBI rewards can attract more CPs to participate in the ecosystem, fostering collaboration and engagement.

Outcomes

The project will include three part:

1. Integrate aleo_prover_for_swanchain
2. Integrate ubi-pool-contracts
3. Integrate professional-grade AleoProver software

Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies

aleo-zk-ubi is a tool designed to assist computing power providers. These providers are the primary contributors to the Swan Network, offering a significant amount of computational power. Within the Aleo blockchain, the Aleo Prover proof plays a crucial role that requires substantial computing capabilities. To address this, aleo-zk-ubi delegates the computation tasks of the Aleo Prover proof to the computing power providers of the Swan Network. This approach offers several benefits. Firstly, completing the delegated computing tasks for the Aleo Prover allows the computing power providers of the Swan Network to earn greater profits. This, in turn, attracts more Aleo miners to participate in the Swan Network, thereby increasing their potential earnings. Secondly, this delegation of computing tasks enhances the security of the Swan Network.

Development Roadmap

Additional Information

From my understanding this project offers a way to outsourcing Aleo ZK task to swan network, can CP on swan network get computing reward from Aelo? or it is more like a free service vendor to Aleo?

In this module, there are two roles: client and CPS (Compute Provider Service).
The client submits a computation task, and the CPS executes the computation task.
The client pays with UBI, and the CPS receives UBI (not Aleo tokens).

Hello there @aleoweb123,

We'd like to know more about the project, could you please provide more information pertaining to:

• your and your teams development experience? Not much information to go on based on available information provided.

• Marketing and Distribution plans for your application? We see no information provided besides reaching out to Aleo miners.

Sorry for the wait, let us know if you have any questions!

Cheers,

Cheers,

We have extensive experience in ZK system and application development. In the Aleo ecosystem, our team has been continuously developing tools and applications. We have much experience in Aleo prover implementation and optimization.

Acutally we have optimized the low level algorithm of Aleo prover a lot, which is necessary for fast Aleo miners. We can give you more details later. This work connects ALEO and SWAN with an efficient way. We believe it will be very useful for the ecosystems.
