Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof-of-Work (NIPoPoWs): Efficient Verification for Decentralized Consensus Protocols

Proof-of-work (PoW) mining in decentralized consensus protocols traditionally requires nodes to process data linearly proportional to the blockchain size, posing significant scalability challenges, even for Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) clients. This article introduces Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof-of-Work (NIPoPoWs), a new formalization of PoW verification that enables efficient, lightweight verification of blockchain data. The implementation leverages a novel construction using

Abstract

Proof-of-work (PoW) mining in decentralized consensus protocols traditionally requires nodes to process data linearly proportional to the blockchain size, posing significant scalability challenges, even for Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) clients. This article introduces Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof-of-Work (NIPoPoWs), a new formalization of PoW verification that enables efficient, lightweight verification of blockchain data. The implementation leverages a novel construction using
