🧠 Aztec Prover Architecture Overview

The Aztec Prover system consists of three main components:

1. Prover Node

The Prover Node is responsible for initiating and coordinating the proving process. It:

Polls Ethereum L1 for unproven epochs
Creates proving jobs and dispatches them to the Proving Broker
Submits the final rollup proof to the Aztec rollup contract on-chain

2. Proving Broker

The Broker manages a queue of proving jobs, acting as a dispatcher between the Prover Node and the Proving Agents. It:

Distributes jobs to available proving agents
Forwards results back to the Prover Node

3. Proving Agents

Proving Agents are the workers that handle the actual zero-knowledge proof generation. They are:

Stateless – fetch jobs from the broker and return results
Scalable – you can run multiple agents in parallel
Independent – can run on the same or separate servers

Minimum Requirements (per agent)

RAM: 128 GB
GPU: High-end (RTX 3090 / 4090 / A100 / H100)
Storage: >1 TB SSD
CPU: 8+ vCPUs (ideally 16+)
\\

🛠 You can run all components on a single high-spec server or distribute them across multiple machines depending on your scalability goals.
