Definition ∞ Fast prover time denotes the duration required for a cryptographic prover to generate a validity proof for a given computation or statement. A shorter prover time indicates greater efficiency in the proof generation process. This metric is crucial for the practical application of zero-knowledge proofs.
Context ∞ Fast prover time is a critical performance metric for scaling blockchain networks and enabling more complex decentralized applications. Expediting proof generation reduces computational overhead and latency, making zero-knowledge rollups and similar solutions more viable. Current research efforts concentrate on developing new cryptographic primitives and optimized algorithms to further decrease this processing period.
