Definition ∞ Evaluation proof aggregation is a method where multiple individual cryptographic proofs are combined into a single, compact proof. This process significantly reduces the computational resources and storage required for verification on a blockchain. It is particularly useful for scaling solutions that generate numerous proofs for batched transactions.
Context ∞ Evaluation proof aggregation is a vital component in the advancement of zero-knowledge rollups, as it directly addresses the challenge of verifying a large volume of transactions efficiently. Current development efforts aim to optimize aggregation techniques to further decrease on-chain verification costs and increase throughput for layer-2 networks.
