Polylogarithmic Proofs

Definition

Polylogarithmic proofs refer to a class of cryptographic proof systems where the size of the proof and the time required to verify it are polylogarithmic in the size of the computation being proven. This efficiency is highly desirable for scalability in blockchain systems, as it allows for compact and fast verification of complex computations without re-executing them. They are central to certain zero-knowledge proof constructions.
