However, the aggregation model also presents challenges, including the complexity of implementation, the need for interoperability, and the need for trust and transparency. Despite these challenges, the shift towards aggregation-based verification is paving the way for a verifiable internet where trust is built into each interaction. The author believes that this is the dawn of an era where verifiable, trustless systems can scale, evolve, and thrive, fulfilling the promise of a secure and accessible digital world for everyone.
Key takeaways:
- Aggregation-based verification is a new approach that makes verification faster, more scalable, and less expensive by compressing thousands of computations into a single proof.
- The aggregation model uses off-chain computation, proof aggregation, and on-chain verification to reduce the workload for the network and enable greater scalability.
- Aggregation-based verification can unlock new use cases beyond finance, including DeFi and payments, AI and machine learning, and decentralized identity.
- While aggregation-based verification offers transformative potential, it also presents challenges such as the complexity of implementation, interoperability, and ensuring trust and transparency.
