How I Use PROVE as an App Architect
When I design systems now I ask: which components need full on-chain execution, and which can emit succinct proofs? Using Succinct, I moved heavy tasks — batch reconciliations, ML inference summaries, and complex indexing — off-chain and posted compact proofs on-chain for verification. The user experience improved dramatically: confirmations are fast, and the chain only carries tiny verification receipts. This architecture reduced my gas costs and made designs more modular. Adopting this pattern required a mental shift and careful security thinking (I still keep challenge windows and on-chain dispute hooks), but the developer ergonomics were worth it. For product managers, this approach shortens time-to-market: you prototype expensive logic locally, then plumb in verifiable proofs when ready. Succinct’s tooling made that transition pragmatic rather than theoretical — and that’s why I’m building several production experiments on it
