1⃣ 'Unexpected gains for profit-seekers: I earned 98 stars playing 2048 in Succinct'
To be honest, I initially came for the 'three elements of testnet airdrop'—code, interaction, and lurking in DC channels.
But when I used
@0xCRASHOUT
I squeezed into the testnet with the shared invitation code and found that this thing surprisingly packaged ZK proof tasks into mini-games: 2048, Flappy Bird, AI image recognition…
💡 How is the experience?
It's really fun, but getting high stars requires effort. I only got 98 stars in one round of 2048, while the experts in the group easily flaunt 500+.
The focus is on 'Proofs are combat power': Each game essentially calls SP1 zkVM to generate proofs, and Stars and Proofs are likely the hard indicators for future airdrops.
2⃣ A new height in the ZK track: What makes Succinct's 'decentralized proof network' stand out?
The tech enthusiasts might be tired of the old tricks of 'ZK Rollup optimizing TPS', but Succinct's approach is quite different:
✅ The traditional blockchain pain points (slow, expensive, poor privacy) are reconstructed by Succinct using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP)
✅ Security upgrades: Anti-cheating + privacy protection (such as anonymous voting)
✅ Efficiency leap: ZK Rollup packages transactions, gas fees drop to a few cents per transaction, confirmation time shortened from 7 days to 1 hour.
✅ SP1 zkVM: Traditional ZK development requires knowledge of cryptography + circuit design, with a barrier so high it deters 99% of developers. SP1 directly transforms Rust code into ZK proofs, improving development efficiency by a hundredfold.
✅ Verifying cross-chain bridge status, previously took 2.2 hours, now completed in 4.6 minutes.
3⃣ Community traffic pool: 10K+ tweet channel and 'KOL cultivation plan'
While other projects are still grinding Twitter giveaways, Succinct directly set up a #10k-plus-tweets channel with simple and straightforward rules:
💡 Posting Succinct-related tweets, real views broke 10K+, screenshots sent to DC directly upgraded my L2 identity (Truth Prover).

's 'comments go viral' mystique:
Any tweet he interacts with directly takes off in views. They've turned a technical project into a fan economy.
💡 'Tweets should have hooks, allowing others space to comment'
For example, ask more 'Can this technology be used for profit?', and write less 'SP1 performance improvement of 4-28 times'.
4⃣ New narrative: ZK+AI, this time it's not just a PPT.
Succinct and Phala Network's collaboration impressed me: using ZK proofs to verify AI behavior.
What's wilder is that ZK Rollup handles AI computation tasks: can the cost of training large models be reduced by 90%? This is much more attractive than the 'AI+DePIN' narrative.
5⃣ Summary: Succinct is the 'infrastructure madman' of the ZK track, but the community is the real top tier.
From a technical perspective, SP1 and Prover Network can indeed perform; but what really made me feel 'this project is stable' was that there were still people grinding activities in the DC channel at three in the morning, it was
@0xCRASHOUT
Casually retweeting ordinary people's tweets boosts traffic… this kind of 'community as product' operation is great!
As for the future? How will Season Two 'Prove With Us' make ZK proofs shine—I've heard that there will be whitelist tasks coming up, I suggest keeping an eye on

's strategy, after all they have statistics: L3 roles are scarce, this scarcity is well understood by those who know.
