How Does Truebit Work?

[chainsniff]

Truebit introduces two main roles: solvers and verifiers.

Solvers perform the computation off-chain and submit a result.

Verifiers check that result and can challenge it if they believe it’s incorrect.

If a verifier challenges a solver, a challenge game begins where the computation is broken down into smaller steps. The blockchain only re-runs parts of the task until an honest result is confirmed. This keeps verification cheap and secure.

Truebit also uses economic incentives — both solvers and verifiers stake tokens, which they lose if they act dishonestly.

breaking computation down instead of rerunning everything is actually clever
