_To bridge the gap between theoretical maximums and real-world performance, ongoing work focuses on:_
- [[ZKP/Research/Privacy Pools for Scalability/Recursive Proofs for Batching|Recursive SNARKs:]] Enabling proof aggregation to reduce on-chain costs and improve scalability [47, 49]
- **Parallel Proof Generation:** Distributing proof computation across nodes to minimize T_p for AI tasks
- [[zk-Rollup Architecture|Parachain Scaling]]: Leveraging Polkadot's parachain architecture for horizontal scaling and specialized AI computation chains
These enhancements aim to ensure the ZKP ecosystem delivers robust performance for decentralized AI applications in production settings.
_The performance metrics presented represent theoretical targets based on component benchmarks. In future testnet deployments, we expect to gather more realistic performance data reflecting:_
- _Transaction throughput variability based on network conditions
- [[ZKP/ZKP Base Layer/ZKP Blockchain/Storage Layer/Network Security Under Load/Network Security of Storage Layer|Storage retrieval latency]] distributions across different network topologies
- _ZKP verification costs at various batch sizes
- System resilience under simulated attack conditions
_These future measurements will provide a more conservative basis for application development on the platform, and we expect real-world performance to differ from theoretical maximums described here._
