Proof Based Systems

Definition

Proof based systems are computational frameworks that rely on verifiable proofs to confirm the validity of transactions or computations. These systems allow one party to demonstrate the correctness of a statement to another without revealing all underlying data. In blockchain, this often involves cryptographic proofs like zero-knowledge proofs or validity proofs to ensure network integrity. They significantly enhance scalability and privacy by reducing the amount of information nodes must process.
