Proof Amortization Strategy

Definition

A proof amortization strategy involves distributing the computational cost of generating cryptographic proofs over multiple transactions or time periods. Instead of generating a unique, expensive proof for each individual operation, a single proof can validate a batch of operations, or the cost can be spread across subsequent actions. This technique significantly reduces the overhead associated with zero-knowledge proofs or other complex cryptographic computations. It enhances the scalability and efficiency of blockchain networks by minimizing proof generation expenses.
