#Blockchains grow more complex as more functionality is added. This growth increases the burden on the system, leading to inefficiencies. Blockchain's version of this? State bloat.
Each blockchain node is like an administrative officer, verifying and managing the state of the system. As transactions grow and new users join, nodes must process increasingly massive amounts of data. This causes bottlenecks. 🚧
With #smartcontracts, #NFTs, and growing usage, the cost of computation rises. Gas fees increase, network latency spikes, and scalability becomes a nightmare. The system risks collapse if inefficiencies aren't addressed. ⚠️
This phenomenon, 'state bloat,' is a fundamental problem in blockchain #scalability. Solving it has been the 'holy grail' for researchers. Enter #INTMAX: a revolutionary step toward a stateless future. 🚀 0 reply

Why This Matters
As a result of these three types of blocks, we’ve reduced the amount of data stored on-chain (Only 5 bytes), improving scalability and privacy for users. Our #permissionless #stateless design eliminates the need for leader elections or coordination between block builders, simplifying rollup operations and increasing resistance to censorship.
Additionally, peer-to-peer interactions allow users to update #ZK proofs and seamlessly continue transactions without adding extra data costs, making transfers more flexible and efficient. By combining Cyclic Recursive #ZKProofs, stateless infrastructure, and decentralized block production, we’ve created a rollup ecosystem that balances efficiency, decentralization, and, of course, privacy.
We believe these innovations are key to fulfilling our mission at INTMAX: enabling private, scalable asset transfers for everyone. 0 reply

At INTMAX, we’ve taken a different approach.
Instead of storing all transaction data on-chain, we provide a commitment to the set of transactions in a block (a Merkle tree root) and signatures from senders confirming they’ve received inclusion proofs. With this design, users can generate zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs) of their balances by combining proofs of their sent transactions with proofs of the transactions they’ve received.Moreover, we use ‘Cyclic Recursive Zero-Knowledge Proofs’ to validate entire transaction chains efficiently. By proving only the most recent transaction, the system inherently validates the entire history, drastically reducing L2 costs while maintaining integrity. Users also receive asset proofs directly from block producers, eliminating the need for full database reconstruction, which is a major cost factor in traditional rollups.
Our Three Block Types
To handle deposits, transfers, and withdrawals efficiently, we use three specialized block types: 0 reply
