Recursive aggregation is a cryptographic technique where multiple proofs can be combined into a single, smaller proof, which can then itself be combined with other proofs. This process can be repeated iteratively, leading to a highly compressed and efficient method for verifying a large number of computations. It significantly reduces the data size and computational effort required for verification. This method enhances scalability in decentralized systems.
Context
Recursive aggregation is a critical advancement in zero-knowledge proof technology, particularly for scaling blockchain networks and improving the efficiency of decentralized applications. It allows for the bundling of many transactions or computations into a single proof that can be verified on-chain at a minimal cost. Future research and implementation focus on optimizing these techniques to support higher transaction throughput and more complex verifiable computations across various blockchain protocols.
A new proof system architecture uses the sumcheck protocol to commit only to inputs and outputs, achieving logarithmic verification time for layered computations, drastically scaling ZK-EVMs.
