Company profile
researched Aug 2026Prom (prom.io) is a Layer 2 blockchain network built on the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) and a ZK stack, positioned as a modular ZK-EVM. The network applies zkSNARKs and recursive STARK technology to reduce transaction costs and increase throughput, bundling large numbers of transactions into batches that are verified on Ethereum mainnet via zero-knowledge proofs. Because it operates as a ZK-EVM, it is compatible with Ethereum smart contracts and tooling, allowing existing Ethereum dApps to be ported with minimal changes, and it targets use cases including decentralized finance, NFTs and general decentralized applications.
The network is accompanied by a bridge, a block explorer, a wallet network-add flow and an ecosystem directory. Governance is organized around on-chain decision-making: $PROM holders can delegate voting power to DAO Delegates, who receive a share of the total quorum, while DAO Validators act as a second-layer security council within the governance structure. Separately, network validators can participate in maintaining chain health, integrity and security. Developer-facing programs include building tools, incentives and a grant application process.
$PROM is the network's native token, used for transaction fees and contract interactions, access to network services, and governance participation. The token is listed and traded on centralized and decentralized venues and has an Ethereum contract address, with a fixed maximum supply of 19.25 million PROM.
Business model
Prom operates a public blockchain network whose native $PROM token is used for transaction fees, contract interactions, access to network services and governance. Network participation is open to validators and DAO delegates, and the project directs resources back into the ecosystem through builder incentives and grants.
The network's economic activity runs through $PROM, which is required for transactions, contract interactions and access to network services.
Traction
The company's site reports more than 2.5 million unique wallets and more than 26 million transactions on its chains, with average block times under six seconds. The PROM token had a market capitalization of about $86.07 million, a fully diluted valuation of about $90.78 million, 24-hour trading volume near $94.96 million, roughly 11,130 holders and a circulating supply of 18.25 million of a 19.25 million maximum supply, ranking #195 on CoinMarketCap. The token reached an all-time high of $106.12 on 2021-04-30 and an all-time low of $0.1005 on 2019-11-08.
Latest developments
The public GitHub organization shows recent repository activity, including work on agent-to-agent infrastructure repositories (an agent layer, a verification network and a payment rail) and on Promenade NFT indexing and marketplace-tracking components.

Market position
Prom is described as an emerging Layer 2 blockchain in the Polygon CDK/ZK-rollup segment. Its token ranked #195 on CoinMarketCap at the time of observation, with an approximately $86 million market capitalization, roughly 11.1 thousand holders, and tags including the Ethereum and BNB Chain ecosystems and the DWF Labs portfolio.
Prom combines Polygon CDK-based customizability with zkSNARK and recursive STARK proving to lower fees while retaining full EVM compatibility, and layers on a two-tier on-chain governance model in which delegates accumulate voting power and a DAO Validator security council oversees development direction.
Technology
The chain is built on the Polygon CDK, a modular framework for developing ZK-based Layer 2 networks, together with a ZK stack that produces a ZK-EVM. ZK-Rollups batch thousands of transactions into a single batch verified on Ethereum mainnet using zero-knowledge proofs, with zkSNARKs used to reduce gas costs and recursive STARK technology supporting throughput. Full EVM compatibility allows Ethereum smart contracts and development environments to be used directly. The company's site reports an average block time of under six seconds.
Go-to-market
Prom acquires users through self-service onboarding — a bridge, an "add network to wallet" flow and a block explorer — and recruits builders via a grants program, developer incentives and an ecosystem showcase. It also runs a partner program and open governance participation channels (DAO delegation and validator onboarding), and maintains a public GitHub organization with open-source repositories.
Developers building decentralized applications, including DeFi and NFT projects, seeking low-cost Ethereum-compatible execution; token holders participating in governance; and validators and delegates operating within the network's DAO structure.
