Polylogarithmic Proof Size

Definition

Polylogarithmic proof size refers to a property of certain cryptographic proof systems where the size of the proof grows very slowly, as a polylogarithm of the computation’s size. This efficiency means that proofs remain compact even for extremely large computations, making them highly practical for verification on resource-constrained devices or blockchain networks. It is a significant achievement in scaling verifiable computation.
