Logarithmic Prover Time

Definition

Logarithmic prover time refers to a computational property within zero-knowledge proof systems where the time required for the prover to generate a proof scales logarithmically with the size of the statement being proven. Achieving logarithmic prover time is a significant advancement, enabling highly efficient verification of complex computations without revealing underlying data. This characteristic is particularly valuable for scaling blockchain networks and enhancing privacy in decentralized applications. It represents a substantial improvement over linear or polynomial scaling.
