Starknet Decentralized Protocol IV - Proofs in the Protocol

  • Disregarding geographic diversity, there is a concern that fluctuating exchange rates between the token and fiat will disturb the market prices enough to cause unprofitable blocks. See this post.

  • I’ll read the article. Thanks.

  • I am not as convinced by the first statement, so I’d love to hear/read more: why do you think involving provers at the protocol layer achieves a finer balance between performance and decentralization than e.g a free market? Do you suggest somehow enforcing the use of diverse proving software at the protocol level? If not, what prevents all the protocol-level provers from purchasing all proofs from the same off-chain proof provider?
