Verifier Scalability

Definition

Verifier scalability describes how efficiently a system can check many proofs or transactions. This refers to the ability of a blockchain network or a cryptographic system to efficiently process and validate an increasing number of proofs or transactions without a proportional increase in computational resources or time. It is a critical concern for layer-2 scaling solutions and zero-knowledge proof systems, where the verification of off-chain computations must remain lightweight for on-chain inclusion. Enhancing verifier scalability is key to achieving high transaction throughput in decentralized environments.
