poc: Fork and rework Botvana distributed trading platform

[goshawk-3]

Proof-of-Concept

To develop the Proof-of-Concept, an existing distributed trading platform can be adapted to implement the core concept. It should simulate the primary use case where a client submits a request for zk-SNARK proof computation, a market maker matches the request, and directs it to one of the most suitable provers. The chosen prover then computes and returns the proof.

• For simplicity, the entire state will be managed centrally within a single unit (central server).
• Each botvana bot must be reworked into a zk-SNARK (bellman lib) prover.
• A simple Web-UI must visualize pending, running and executed jobs/tasks. Also, an view must list all provers bots and their ranking.

The entire simulation should be runnable on a single machine.

Future development

This project could be turned into a testbed that can be used to evaluate future concepts and ideas in a fail-fast manner.
