Definition ∞ Streaming prover design is an architectural approach for constructing cryptographic provers that process data in a continuous, sequential manner rather than requiring all data to be loaded into memory simultaneously. This design enables the generation of proofs for arbitrarily large computations that exceed available memory capacity. It significantly improves the scalability of zero-knowledge proof systems by allowing for proofs of massive datasets or long-running processes. This method is memory-efficient.
Context ∞ Streaming prover design is a significant advancement in the field of zero-knowledge proofs, addressing the memory limitations of provers for large computations. Current research explores various techniques to optimize data processing and proof generation in a streaming fashion, balancing computational overhead with memory efficiency. Future developments will likely involve more generalized streaming frameworks and their integration into practical layer-2 scaling solutions for blockchains.
