Aleo, a programmable privacy network, has launched the second phase of Testnet 3, which officially introduces "Provers" and enables the AleoBFT consensus mechanism. The consensus mechanism utilizes PoS to achieve instant certainty of block confirmation, and utilizes PoW to motivate the development of faster proof generation technology. According to Aleo, the design allows for the utilization of the computing resources of third-party provers, while also earning rewards directly from the protocol to bootstrap the provers. Aleo also said that incentives for testing will be rolled out in the future.
