Service-Level Agreements

Users that require strong reliability guarantees or have large-scale proving needs can enter into off-chain service-level agreements (SLAs) with provers. These agreements can then be implemented in the network by whitelisting the agreed upon provers in auctions and can potentially allow for better pricing due to their long-run nature. The whitelist only allows the approved provers to bid in the auction for the request.

SLAs can also help provers better manage their resources and infrastructure and plan for future demand. The network natively supports SLAs and enables requests to find the best prover for their long-run proving needs.
