Halo 2 SNARKs

Definition

Halo 2 SNARKs are a specific type of Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (SNARK) proof system. SNARKs are cryptographic tools that allow one party to prove the correctness of a computation to another party without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself. The “Halo 2” designation indicates a particular iteration or variant of this technology, often optimized for efficiency and usability in specific blockchain applications. These proofs are crucial for privacy and scalability.
