Trustless Recursive Proof

Definition

A Trustless Recursive Proof is a cryptographic proof system where a proof can verify the correctness of another proof, allowing for the aggregation of multiple computations into a single, compact proof. This mechanism enables a prover to demonstrate the validity of a long computation or a sequence of events without requiring the verifier to trust an intermediary. It significantly reduces the computational load for verification, enhancing scalability and efficiency in decentralized systems. This method removes the need for trusted setups or external attestations.
