  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTHENTICATING OFF-CHAIN DATA BASED ON PROOF VERIFICATION
    Publication number: 20250141659
    Abstract: Determining when and/or how to execute a program or script published to a blockchain network may rely on data that is external to the blockchain. A prover (e.g., a node of the blockchain network) may perform one or more computations on behalf of a client, such as the execution of the program. To execute the program properly, the prover may rely on external data, which the prover may obtain from a data provider that has a trust relationship with the client (e.g., the client accepts as valid data provided by a trusted data provider). Systems and methods described herein may be utilized by a prover to provide cryptographically verifiable assurances of the authenticity of input data purportedly obtained from a data provider, the input data utilized in the execution of a program or script published to a blockchain network. An example of a blockchain network is a Bitcoinbased network.
