what's Fermah?

Fermah is the universal proof generation layer designed to make zero-knowledge (ZK) proof generation cheap, fast, and reliable. It coordinates provers and resources to optimize ZK workloads, enabling scalable applications in blockchain by reducing costs and latency for proof computation. The platform supports testnets for developers to generate proofs efficiently. Built for the ZK ecosystem, Fermah leverages distributed proving networks and optimizations to bring advanced cryptography ("moon math") to mainstream adoption. It features community initiation via NFT mints and integrates with tools like EigenLayer for restaking-enhanced security and performance.

Fermah launched Universal Proof Market on internal mainnet today.
