zk-Rollup Proof Generation

Current Situation

• zk-rollup teams must manage dual balances: ETH for gas and USDT for operations.

• Cost forecasting is difficult because ETH/USDT exchange rates fluctuate.

• Teams hedge token exposure, adding treasury and accounting overhead.

On Astralis

• Proof generation jobs are provisioned directly in USDT/hour.

• Plasma’s paymaster covers all underlying gas.

• No secondary token management is required.

Outcome

• Single-Currency Cost Basis: zk teams can plan compute budgets directly in stablecoins.

• Predictable OPEX: Proof generation becomes a stable line item, comparable to SaaS infrastructure.

• Simplified Operations: Treasury exposure to volatile tokens is eliminated.
