Definition ∞ Modular proof systems are cryptographic architectures designed with interchangeable components, allowing for flexible construction and optimization of proof generation and verification processes. These systems promote adaptability and efficiency across various computational tasks. They enable developers to select and combine different cryptographic primitives. This design approach supports specialized applications while maintaining security.
Context ∞ Modular proof systems are critical for advancing scalability and privacy solutions within the blockchain space, particularly for layer-2 networks and zero-knowledge rollups. Their inherent flexibility permits tailoring proof systems to specific application requirements, such as reducing transaction costs or enabling confidential computations. Ongoing research in this area aims to further enhance performance and expand the practical applications of verifiable computation across decentralized ecosystems.
