Stateless Ownership Proof

Definition

A stateless ownership proof is a cryptographic method that allows an individual to demonstrate ownership of a digital asset or identity without requiring access to a continuously updated, global state. This proof relies solely on local information and cryptographic commitments, reducing the need for network-wide synchronization. It enhances privacy and scalability by minimizing the data required for verification. Such proofs are particularly useful in resource-constrained environments or for privacy-preserving protocols.
