 # Overview
 
-Hugo
+There are explosions of ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proof) applications and zk-Rollups, especially Ethereum zk-Rollup.
+
+They require ZKP provers. Currently, there are challenges to make the ZKP widely adopted. The challenges come from both the ZKP projects side and the ZKP prover operators side.
+
+Here the ZKP computation power is different from POW. The ZKP is a service that each project needs, and its cost is an essential factor, while the POW requires many machines to achieve decentralization. A comparison is shown in the below table.
+|Aspect |POW Miners |ZKP Provers |
+|:-|:-:|:-:|  
+|Computation Purpose |Decentralization |To generate a proof |
+|Computation content |Large number of random, repeated, and similar functions. |Complex mathematical operations with deterministic results. |
+|Computation redundancy |Necessary |Unnecessary |
+
+## Challenges for ZKP projects
+
+Currently, each ZKP project has to make much effort to build a proving system, including algorithms and infrastructure, and make it low-cost. 
+
+To build a zk-related project, these questions will come out:
+
+1. Which proving system could be used?
+2. How to design the circuit?
+3. What’s the performance of the proving system?
+4. How to set up the proving system to accelerate it?
+5. How much does it cost for this proving system?
+
+The projects not only have to consider how to optimize the solution and consider how to reduce cost but also involve much infra work, such as:
+
+1. Choose prover machines, like GPU or high-performance cpu
+2. Need an infra to manage machine clusters and monitoring
+
+For ZKPool, we want to provide a solution for items 3,4&5.
+
+The ideal solution is to let the projects have the following:
+
+1. Fast enough and transparent proving performance 
+2. Cheap & Transparent cost
+
+## Challenges for ZKP Prover Operators
+
+The ZKP proving is different from POW. 
+
+Firstly, some projects may require a gas fee to submit proof or staking as a prover. It brings cost and risk for provers. 
+
+Secondly, some projects may use bid or random selection solutions to avoid redundant computation, the prover may not be fully utilized when it hasn’t won the task.
+
+It reduced the revenue a prover can have. 
+
+Thirdly, the various ZKP projects have different algorithms and prover software. It’s difficult for provers to accommodate these various projects.
+
+## The Design Target of ZKPool
+
+The ZKPool's mission is to make Zero-Knowledge Proof flow in the digital world. The ZKPool wants to build a bridge between ZKP applications and ZKP provers. 
+
+The design principle of ZKPool includes:
+
+- Economic efficiency. Find a balance between the requirements of ZKP projects' low-cost and ZKP prover's higher profit.
+- Transparency: Keep revenue distribution with transparency
+
+## The Roadmap of ZKPool
+The ZKPool will have these milestones:
+- Centralized solution for one ZKP project
+- Connect multiple ZKP projects with the unified ZKP provers
+- Fully decentralized
