Rewards
The Succinct Prover Network is not currently live on Ethereum Mainnet. Thus, all rewards are in testnet $PROVE tokens and do not have any real monetary value.
There are no additional rewards or subsidies at this time.
Currently, the primary incentive for running a prover on the network is the ability to earn fees from generating proofs.
As such, the most profitable provers will be those that can bid competitively for proofs and generate them consistently and at scale. We expect that the reference implementation will not be competitive in the market, and so provers will need to optimize their proving nodes to be more efficient.
In the future, there may be incentive programs to run a prover, which will boostrap both the demand-side and supply-side of the prover network.
