The supply side

Operators

Powered by Fermah shows who buys proofs. This page shows who makes them. Prover nodes are the hardware half of the market, and their registration lives in public contracts rather than in a dashboard — so it can be read by anyone, including this page.


How the supply side works

Seekers ask, the Matchmaker allocates, nodes prove.

Fermah is a market with machines on one side — GPUs and FPGAs run by operators — and anything that needs a ZK proof on the other. A Seeker submits a Proof Request, the Matchmaker assigns it to a Prover Node, and the node generates the proof. The whole ceiling of the system is coordination between those three, not raw compute.

01 · KEYS

ECDSA and BLS

An operator generates both key types. They identify the node to the network and sign its participation.

02 · WHITELIST

Access is granted, not taken

The operator set is permissioned: you request access before a node can register, which is why the registry is small and every entry is deliberate.

03 · REGISTRATION

Through EigenLayer

Registration goes through EigenLayer contracts for the Fermah AVS. That is what makes the operator set publicly readable — no permission needed to look.

04 · TELEMETRY

A metrics sidecar

Nodes ship an OpenTelemetry collector alongside the prover. Operators can point it at additional collectors of their own, which is how a node could feed a public board.

Registry

Registered prover nodes.

NOT YET INDEXED


Running a node?

Put your node on the map.

Once the registry is indexed, every registered address appears here whether its operator asks or not — it is public on-chain data. What is not public is who is behind an address. If you want your node shown under your name, tell me and it gets a label.

A label is opt-in and reversible. Atlas never links an address to a person on its own — no heuristics, no name matching, no timing analysis.
