Doubly Efficient Proofs

Definition

Doubly efficient proofs are cryptographic proof systems where both the prover’s computation and the verifier’s computation are highly optimized. Specifically, the prover’s work is quasi-linear in the size of the computation being proven, and the verifier’s work is polylogarithmic in the computation size. This efficiency makes it practical to verify complex computations with minimal overhead. Such proofs are crucial for scalable and private decentralized applications.
