Each node has to verify the validity of every computation the users send to the network on blockchains. One of the major bottlenecks of blockchains' scalability is how to increase computational bandwidth without increasing the verification cost, which is ultimately the decentralization guarantee of a blockchain. The higher the verification cost,... See more

The network nodes can verify the attached proofs several orders of magnitude faster and cheaper than verifying the computation itself, thus enabling complex computation at a pretty cheap cost, such as gaming dynamics.

There are a variety of different strategies that can be employed to achieve a long term, stable value for a token. ‘Locking tokens’ is one of these strategies and is commonly seen as an effective way to keep a token’s value high in the long run. Token lockup refers to a specific period of time during which the tokens cannot be transacted or traded.... See more
