Abstract:

Proof of Proof is a new technology for universal, trust-base-minimal, and fully interoperable verifiable computing, where programming languages and VMs are brought into an integrated computing space with full interoperability; where the trustbase of verification certificates is reduced to a minimum; where the need for traditional yet buggy language implementations (compilers, transpilers, interpreters, ...) are eliminated; and where maintaining language changes/updates is as easy as plug-and-play.
