Use case · zero-knowledge proofs

Prove more for less.

ZK proof generation is compute-bound, parallel, and retryable: exactly the profile that runs most cost-efficiently on SaladCloud's consumer GPUs. Provers that need CUDA and VRAM, not interconnect, get the lowest cost per proof in the market.

Six proof jobs sent out to GPU nodes and returning verified, one of them retried
Why it fits

Provers are batch jobs with a cryptographic accent.

Embarrassingly parallel

Each proof is independent. Fan out across hundreds of replicas and let Salad Container Engine keep the count filled.

Consumer VRAM is enough

Most GPU provers fit comfortably in 16–32 GB. RTX 4090 and 5090 class hardware from $0.16 per hour at Lowest priority.

Retry is free

Interrupted proofs are simply re-run. You pay for running seconds only; no minimums, no egress.

Benchmark pending. A published ZK prover benchmark on SaladCloud is in preparation. Until it is live we make no specific savings claim on this page; ask sales for current numbers on your prover.
