Prom
promWhat is Prom?
Prom (PROM) is the current project and market name for an EVM-compatible zero-knowledge rollup built with Polygon CDK. It executes transactions away from Ethereum Layer 1, batches state changes, and uses zero-knowledge proofs to support verification and settlement. The same PROM asset was previously presented under the Prometeus Network name in connection with a decentralized data-exchange and social-network concept. The Ethereum token contract is still labeled “Token Prometeus Network,” but the reviewed sources do not establish an exact formal rebranding date or the legal or corporate mechanics of that transition.
What problem does Prom solve?
Prom targets Ethereum’s throughput and fee constraints while preserving familiar EVM tooling. The project says developers can deploy supported Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and users can transact at lower cost and higher throughput, with validity proofs supporting settlement. These are protocol-design claims from Prom, not independently verified performance guarantees: actual fees, throughput, finality, uptime, and security depend on the deployed network and its operating components.
How does Prom work?
Users submit signed transactions through the Ethereum-compatible RPC endpoint https://rpc.prom.io/. Prom’s documentation says a trusted sequencer orders transactions into batches, off-chain components process state transitions, and a prover generates zero-knowledge proofs for verification through settlement contracts. PROM is the native gas currency. The documentation distinguishes trusted, virtual, and verified state-finality stages and describes the sequencer and prover as initially centralized; decentralizing those components is presented as a future objective, and the reviewed sources do not establish how far that transition has progressed or who currently controls the relevant operators, contracts, or keys.
Key facts
- Prom’s official wallet configuration identifies mainnet chain ID 227, PROM as the native currency, https://rpc.prom.io/ as the RPC endpoint, and https://promscan.io/ as the explorer.
- Prom announced its mainnet launch on November 21, 2024 and described the network as based on Polygon CDK.
- Current official documentation describes Prom as an EVM-compatible ZK-rollup. It says existing Ethereum smart contracts can be deployed where the required EVM functionality is supported; this is a compatibility claim, not a guarantee that every contract will work unchanged.
- Project documentation assigns PROM gas-payment, governance, ecosystem-access, and validator or node-participation roles. The current implementation, voting participation, validator eligibility, and reward distribution were not independently confirmed on-chain, and these stated uses do not establish guaranteed financial rights.
- PROM’s Ethereum ERC-20 contract is 0xfc82bb4ba86045Af6F327323a46E80412b91b27d. Etherscan shows verified source code, 18 decimals, and an initial and maximum total supply of 20,000,000 PROM.
- The verified Ethereum token contract exposes standard ERC-20 transfer and approval functions but no evident owner, mint, burn, pause, blacklist, or upgrade function. This observation applies only to that Ethereum contract, not to Prom mainnet governance, bridge, settlement, or other contracts.
- The supplied market snapshot dated August 25, 2026 reports 18,250,000 PROM circulating and 19,250,000 total and maximum supply. Etherscan instead displays a 20,000,000 maximum total supply for the Ethereum contract; the reason for the 750,000 PROM difference is unresolved and should not be silently reconciled.
- The protocol FAQ describes a trusted sequencer and prover as initially centralized and their decentralization as future work. The current operator set and control of the sequencer, prover, settlement contracts, bridge contracts, governance contracts, and any upgrade keys were not established.
- Prom has an official bridge page, but the reviewed sources do not establish its currently active routes, custody model, contract addresses, or security assumptions. No located contract or legal document gives ordinary PROM holders a fixed-value redemption right, ownership of project assets, or guaranteed revenue rights.

Frequently asked questions
What is Prom?
Prom is an EVM-compatible zero-knowledge rollup network built with Polygon CDK. The project says it batches off-chain execution and uses zero-knowledge proofs to support verification and settlement. It is the current direction associated with PROM, which was previously presented under the Prometeus Network name.
What is PROM used for?
PROM is the native currency used to pay gas on Prom. Project documentation also describes governance, ecosystem-access, and validator or node-participation uses, but those broader roles were not independently confirmed on-chain and do not give holders a demonstrated legal ownership, fixed-value redemption, or guaranteed income right.
What is the PROM contract and is its supply fixed?
The Ethereum ERC-20 contract is 0xfc82bb4ba86045Af6F327323a46E80412b91b27d. Its verified code uses 18 decimals, created 20,000,000 PROM, and exposes no evident mint or burn function. However, the August 25, 2026 market snapshot reports 18,250,000 circulating and 19,250,000 total and maximum supply, leaving an unresolved 750,000 PROM difference from Etherscan’s 20,000,000 figure.
Is Prom decentralized?
The protocol FAQ describes the trusted sequencer and prover as initially centralized and decentralization as a future objective. The reviewed sources do not establish the present number, identity, or control structure of the operators, or current control of settlement, bridge, governance, and upgrade mechanisms.
Is Prom the same project as Prometeus Network?
Current materials use Prom, the Ethereum token remains labeled “Token Prometeus Network,” and an older project repository documents the former Prometeus data-market and social-network concept. This supports continuity around the shared PROM asset and project materials, but the reviewed sources provide neither an exact formal rebranding date nor a legal or corporate succession record.
