Recursive proof composition is a cryptographic technique where a proof itself includes a proof of a previous computation. This method allows for the aggregation of multiple proofs into a single, compact proof, which can then be verified efficiently. It is particularly useful for scaling blockchain networks by summarizing vast numbers of transactions or computations into a small, verifiable data package. Recursive proof composition enables the creation of verifiable computation chains, enhancing efficiency and privacy.
