Oh, I think many devs who are not familiar with ZK proof might choose second aproach due to minimum modification of the original code or they just can't due to all dependencies which hard to be rewriten all over. 😅

> However there is big overhead

Does it slow down much to generate the proof along the code? More than 1000ms?

Yes the overhead can be very big depending of the size of the computation.

Possibly it can be 2 order of magnitudes slower and more expensive.

I see, it is quite hard for critical computation that need fast processing (< 100 ms) especially if the implementation can't be rewritten totally.

Based on your experiences, is it possible to generate zk proof for external API request?

Examples:

1. We provide DVM that gives weather data that were processed from external weather Red API service

Based on your experiences, is it possible to generate zk proof for external API request? Or is it limited to computation that was calculated directly on host machine?

Examples:

1. We provide DVM that gives weather data that were processed from external weather Rest API service

2. Text Summary DVM that gives summary after request them into external AI service (GPT4, Lllama3.1 405, etc) due to can't self host it

Both cases need external service
