What are NiPoPoWs and why do they matter?

NiPoPoWs (Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof-of-Work) are cryptographic proofs that compress blockchain history. Instead of downloading gigabytes of blocks, light clients can verify the chain with just kilobytes of data. This enables true trustless light wallets, efficient cross-chain bridges, and sidechains - all without trusting third parties.

• Compression: verify chain with kilobytes, not gigabytes
• Trustless light clients: no need to trust servers
• Cross-chain bridges: efficient verification across chains
• Sidechains: secure communication with main chain
• Mobile-friendly: full security on resource-limited devices
