Ayush Gupta is Co-Founder & CEO of LayerEdge, building Bitcoin backed Internet using trust minimized verification & proof aggregation.
Today’s fragmented blockchain landscape has led to an explosion of specialized platforms and off-chain systems, each generating zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs that validate everything from financial transactions to AI computations. This proliferation, however, creates a problem: How can a network efficiently confirm the correctness of thousands—or even millions—of proofs without burdening participants with massive computational and storage requirements?
A new approach, which we call scalable light node verification, introduces a protocol that uses probabilistic sampling, anchored in the security of the Bitcoin blockchain, to make it feasible for decentralized participants—”light nodes”—to maintain system integrity without needing to verify every single proof.
