Edge execution often gets flagged as a potential security concern—but here's the thing: it really comes down to verifiability. What if transactions could execute on the user side while only the proof of correct execution gets posted to the chain? That changes the equation entirely. The security model shifts from where code runs to whether that execution can be cryptographically verified. This approach lets you keep computation off-chain without sacrificing on-chain accountability.

Oh my god, this is the real big brain idea. Zero-knowledge proofs should have been used this way a long time ago.

On-chain verification > code location, this logic is indeed brilliant

This idea is somewhat similar to early zero-knowledge proof experiments, but it hands the power back to the user side. In simple terms, it's about shifting trust from "where it runs" to "whether it can be proven," which is a pretty interesting transformation.

Wow, this is exactly what I want to see—off-chain running, on-chain verification... brilliant!

Off-chain verification is back, and it sounds like a bunch of theory. Let's talk about it when big funds actually start using this stuff.

Oh, this is the right way. Verification is the key, isn't it?

Amazing, verification > execution position, this is the correct approach.

Brilliant! Moving verification rights onto the chain and offloading computation to the edge—this approach is truly exceptional.

The idea of proof posting has actually been tried before, but whether it can be truly implemented depends on whether the verification costs can be reduced.
