Definition ∞ A verifiable task is a computational process or operation whose correct execution can be independently confirmed by an external party, often without re-executing the entire task. In blockchain contexts, this typically involves generating a cryptographic proof alongside the task’s output. This allows for trustless delegation of computation and efficient validation across decentralized networks.
Context ∞ The concept of verifiable tasks is central to the development of scalable blockchain solutions, such as optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge proofs, which offload computation from the main chain. News frequently reports on advancements in these technologies, highlighting how verifiable tasks contribute to increased transaction throughput and reduced costs in decentralized applications.
