Exploring Naysayer Proofs in Cryptography
This chapter discusses the recent advancements in Verifiable Delay Functions (VDFs) and introduces the concept of naysayer proofs, which streamline the verification process by pinpointing specific faults in proofs. The speakers critique the complexity of current academic research norms and advocate for simpler formats that encourage community feedback. Through various comparisons, the chapter highlights the benefits of naysayer proofs over traditional methods in improving efficiency and reducing computational costs in blockchain technology.
