Firestarter is a high-performance compute network optimized for ZK. It is designed to scale to thousands of prover nodes handling both CPU and GPU workloads, as well as incorporate new hardware as that becomes available. Users can generate proofs using one of the pre-deployed provers, such as Risc0, SP1, Nexus, Aztec, ZKsync, Starkware, Linea, Scroll & Polygon or by deploying their own. Firestarter also has out-of-the-box integrations to Polygon CDK and ZK Stack chains.
Under the hood, Firestarter is an end-to-end implementation of Gevulot’s ZkCloud, just running in a permissioned fashion. The full system is made up of a blazingly fast CometBFT-based chain, which handles Credits, workload allocation and monitoring, and a network of prover nodes that provide compute for generating zk proofs.
You can purchase Firestarter Credits with a credit card today to start using the platform for proving.
1 Credit = 1 USDC
Once you purchase Credits, you’ll receive them in your public address to spend on compute fees. The amount of Credits you need for a given workload depends on the workload-specific resource requirements, such as CPU cores, RAM, GPU and compute time. You can read more about how our pricing works here [LINK].
Pricing examples:
Accept the Firestarter T&C and proceed from the link below. We are using Coinbase Commerce as payment provider.
Follow through the process on the platform with your selected USDC amount. You may freely choose the amount of the transaction, which is equal to the amount of Credits sent to your account.
We will send an order confirmation and receipt link to your provided email address, as well as a form asking for your Firestarter account address so we can send the credits. Please make sure to use the same email you used for the purchase.
Once we have received both payment and your Firestarter account address, we will send the Credits.
To bootstrap hardware supply and allow the whole community to participate, we are running a campaign where we rent out fully managed Firestarter GPU worker nodes. These worker nodes are eligible for mainnet token rewards, which will go to the renting party. Renters don’t need to do anything regarding the operations of the hardware. Just sit back and relax in the knowledge that you’ve helped bring Firestarter to life.
