A computation integrity proof is a cryptographic construction that confirms a computation was executed correctly without revealing the input data or the computation itself. It ensures the veracity of an executed program or transaction. These proofs allow one party to demonstrate the accuracy of a computation to another party. This verification relies on mathematical certainty, rather than on trust in an external entity.
Context
Computation integrity proofs form a foundational element of zero-knowledge rollups and other scaling solutions in blockchain technology. They permit off-chain computation with efficient on-chain verification, significantly lowering transaction costs and enhancing throughput. The ongoing challenge involves optimizing the speed of proof generation and verification for practical application. Advancements in this area are critical for broader blockchain adoption.
ZK-VMs decouple computation from cryptographic proof generation, creating a universal compiler for verifiable execution that drastically scales layer two throughput.
