Bulletproof

A compact zero-knowledge proof construction often used to prove that hidden transaction amounts lie within valid ranges.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

It supports those range checks without a trusted setup for the proof system. A valid range proof establishes the specific mathematical condition, rather than automatically proving every claim about a transaction or application.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

A confidential transaction proves its hidden output amount is in range without publishing that amount.
