 # BatchTxRequester
 
-The `BatchTxRequester` is a specialized P2P service that aggressively fetches missing transactions from peers when a node receives a block proposal but lacks some of the referenced transactions. This is critical for validators who need all transactions to attest to a proposal.
+The `BatchTxRequester` is a specialized P2P service that aggressively fetches missing transactions from peers when a node lacks some of the referenced transactions. It serves two pathways: (1) block proposals, where validators need all transactions to attest, and (2) block proving, where provers need all transactions to generate proofs.
 
 ## Overview
 
-When a validator receives a block proposal, they must verify all transactions in the block. If some transactions are missing from the local mempool (e.g., due to gossip delays), the `BatchTxRequester` kicks in to fetch them via direct peer-to-peer requests before the attestation deadline.
+When a validator receives a block proposal or a prover needs to prove a block, they must have all transactions. If some transactions are missing from the local mempool (e.g., due to gossip delays), the `BatchTxRequester` kicks in to fetch them via direct peer-to-peer requests before the deadline.
