Client-Side Proof Generation

Definition

Client-side proof generation involves creating cryptographic proofs directly on a user’s local device rather than on a central server. This process allows users to generate proofs for their transactions or computations using their own computing resources, thereby reducing the burden on the network or a centralized proving service. It enhances privacy by keeping sensitive data off external servers and improves decentralization. This method is common in zero-knowledge proof systems, where a prover demonstrates knowledge without revealing the underlying information.
