Non-Interactivity

Definition

Non-Interactivity, in a cryptographic context, refers to a proof system where the prover generates a proof without any communication rounds with the verifier. The verifier receives a single, static proof that can be checked independently. This property is highly desirable for blockchain applications as it reduces communication overhead and enables efficient, asynchronous verification on a distributed ledger. It contrasts with interactive proof systems that require multiple exchanges between parties.
