Proof System Scaling

Definition

Proof system scaling involves enhancing cryptographic proof mechanisms to handle larger amounts of data or computations more efficiently. This refers to advancements in zero-knowledge proof systems, such as SNARKs and STARKs, that allow for the verification of complex computations with reduced computational resources and verification time. The objective is to increase the throughput and privacy of blockchain networks by compressing many transactions into a single, verifiable proof. Effective scaling of proof systems is critical for achieving widespread adoption of decentralized applications.
