**Inclusion-Time Proofs: Revolutionizing ZK Collaborative Proofs**

At first glance, inclusion-time proving seems crucial for enabling atomic composability between multiple based zk rollups/logic-zones. It solves the dependency problem in one shot: we either all collaborate to create a collective proof—attached directly to the transaction—or we…— Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) May 22, 2025

**Title:** Multileader Consensus vs. ZK Proving: The Core Challenge in Blockchain — **Post:** Blockchain development has reached a critical juncture where two promising techniques for scalability and security pull in opposite directions. **Multileader Consensus** offers a pathway to: – **Increased Speed:** Multiple leaders can process transactions simultaneously, reducing wait times and enhancing throughput. – **MEV Resistance:** Execution uncertainty, where the next block’s miner/validator is unknown until the last moment, reduces Miner/Validator Extractable Value (MEV) attacks. However, this approach struggles with: – **Atomic Composability:** Transactions that require immediate finality and composability across multiple operations face challenges in a multileader setup due to the inherent uncertainty of when and how transactions will be processed next. On the other hand, **Inclusion-Time Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Proving** enables: – **Atomic Composability:** By proving the inclusion of transactions within the same block, ZK proofs allow for atomic operations and complex smart contract interactions instantly. But this method has its drawbacks: – **Scalability Challenges:** Producing ZK proofs at block creation time adds significant delay, diminishing the network’s ability to process transactions quickly. This contradiction hints at a potential compromise: **Timebound Proof Settlement:** A system where: – ZK proofs are not necessarily created at block inclusion but within a guaranteed time frame post-inclusion. This would allow: – **Atomic Composability** through the certainty of the proofs being generated, albeit shortly after inclusion. – **Maintained Speed** by not blocking the transaction processing with proof generation at the moment of inclusion. The blockchain community needs to explore: – How **proof aggregation** and **parallel proof generation** could mitigate some of the inherent delays of ZK proofs, aligning with multileader consensus benefits. – The risk of having a **timebound settlement**, where transactions could technically be rolled back within the proof generation window, though highly improbable. Exploring this core challenge will not only advance our understanding of blockchain mechanics but could lead to hybrid solutions improving both performance and security, paving the way for a new era of blockchain technology. — What do you think? Can we reconcile these opposing forces for a better blockchain experience?

New research post exploring a core challenge: multileader consensus (great for speed & MEV-resistance due to execution uncertainty) vs. inclusion-time zk proving (ideal for atomic composability). Why they contradict and why this points to timebound proof settlement where proof…

**High-Quality Twitter Docs: No Errors or Hallucinations**

Yup, as far as I can tell from an initial scan the generated docs are of high quality. I didn’t spot blatant lies/ errors/hallucinations. It can use more context and additional info in some places and I’ll try to put time into improving it through the available apis they have https://t.co/C6j3JhWa8s— Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) May 20, 2025
