Stateless Client Verification

Definition

Stateless client verification allows a client to verify information without needing to store any prior transaction history or state. This method typically relies on cryptographic proofs, such as zero-knowledge proofs, where a small proof can confirm the validity of a large computation or dataset. It significantly reduces the computational and storage burden on individual clients, enabling light clients to interact securely with a blockchain network. This approach enhances scalability and accessibility for decentralized systems.
