Coprocessor

A system that performs complex computations off-chain and provides verified results to smart contracts.

Definition

A system that performs complex computations off-chain and provides verified results to smart contracts. ZK coprocessors use zero-knowledge proofs to prove the computation was done correctly without re-executing it on-chain. This lets smart contracts access historical data and run heavy calculations cheaply.
