Prom

The archived Prometeus repository did not describe a rollup. It described Stoa, where data could be sold, and Ignite, where publishing would resist platform censorship. Service nodes, data validators and data-mart nodes divided storage, checking and distribution work.

PROM was the settlement incentive inside that design. The repository is valuable historical evidence, but its experimental software and architecture should not be projected onto today’s chain as if those products were still the live protocol.

Today the project calls itself Prom, while the Ethereum contract still bears the older Prometeus identity. The exact address, 0xfc82…b27d, and the old repository make the lineage traceable even though public sources do not supply a neat legal reorganization file.

A second verified token exists on BNB Smart Chain at 0xaF53…AFd5. Both contracts say 20 million. That symmetry is evidence of representations across networks, not permission to add them.

This identity test excludes similarly named Prometheus, Promise and ticker-collision assets. A name match is weaker than a contract and chain match.

Current docs position Prom as an EVM-compatible Polygon CDK ZK network. Wallets connect to chain ID 227, pay native PROM and submit transactions to the published RPC.

The architectural caveat comes from Prom itself: a Trusted Sequencer orders batches, and decentralizing the sequencer and prover is framed as future work. Proof validity answers whether a transition is valid; it does not answer who can order, halt or upgrade the system.

The current bridge application exposes PROM routes among Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and Prom through Hyperlane routers. Older documentation names a broader network list, so the live application snapshot and the general guide must be dated separately.

On Ethereum the fixed token has no visible administrator, mint, burn, freeze or proxy surface. The BNB Smart Chain version retains ownership transfer and renunciation, though it likewise has no exposed new-mint path. Bridge routers and chain administration are separate control planes from either token contract.

Because each contract reports 20 million, market-data figures need a backing ledger showing which balances are locked, released or native. That public reconciliation was not found.

Prom’s memorandum describes token-weighted voting, delegation, proposal stages and validator review. It also gives an off-chain Council the job of carrying out decisions that cannot execute directly onchain.

The governance guide says delegates and validators share 32% of network fees. Without current contracts, memberships and distributions, that percentage remains a design claim. It is not a coupon attached to every wallet.

In 2026 Prom began describing an economic layer for autonomous agents. Its A2A repository contains contracts and services for staking, verification, slashing and rewards.

The repository is meaningful evidence of current development, but its public deployment setup does not prove a production mainnet service. An A2A verifier judges agent work; a DAO validator reviews proposals; the Trusted Sequencer and prover operate the chain. Treating them as one validator set would manufacture decentralization.

This is the newest Prom thesis: PROM as payment and economic security between machines. It remains a thesis whose deployed boundary must be checked release by release.

The Terms of Use name Promtech Solutions Ltd, a BVI company, as operator of the website and blockchain infrastructure. They characterize the interface as non-custodial, disclaim fiduciary duties and place key and third-party risks on users.

No reviewed instrument gives ordinary PROM holders shares in that company, title to treasury assets, a par redemption, deposit insurance or an unconditional slice of fees. Governance access and possible role rewards depend on operating rules; the token alone is not a legal claim on every business Prom may build.
