Compositional Proofs

Definition

Compositional proofs are cryptographic constructs that permit the secure combination of smaller, independently verifiable proofs into a larger, overarching proof. This method allows for the modular construction of complex statements, where the validity of the whole is derived from the validity of its parts. They are essential for building scalable and efficient zero-knowledge systems. This approach reduces the computational burden associated with proving large computations.
