1. 📌 Overview & Objectives

• Succinct Prover Network officially launched its mainnet on August 5, 2025.

• The project creates a decentralized market for Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZK-Proof) services—connecting those in need of ZK proofs with provers through reverse auctions and combining off-chain/on-chain for speed and security.

2. 💰 PROVE Token Information

Characteristics

Details

Total Supply

1 billion PROVE (fixed supply)

Blockchain

ERC-20 on Ethereum

3 main functions

Payments (requester → prover), Staking & Security, Network Governance

• Payments: PROVE is the payment unit for ZK proof creation services.

• Staking & Security: Prover needs to stake PROVE to participate in the auction; failure to complete on time or committing fraud will result in slashing.

• Governance: Users can participate in voting on network parameters such as token issuance rate, auction structure, fees…

3. 🚀 Adoption Status & Mainnet

• The network has processed over 5 million proofs from 1,700 different programs/apps, supporting over 35 major protocols such as Polygon, Mantle, Celestia, Lido; the network value protection exceeds 4 billion USD.

• Mainnet launched on August 5, 2025, the market immediately recorded extremely positive reactions with the PROVE price around 1.37–1.50 USD, 24-hour trading volume from 200 to 460 million USD, and was listed on Binance, Coinbase, Upbit, Bitget, MEXC, Gate…

4. 🧩 Operational Model & Auction Mechanism

• When there is a request to create a proof, the real-time reverse auction system: provers compete to bid the PROVE price as low as possible, with the lowest bid winning the right to execute.

• Auctioneer (off-chain) handles selection, creating a real-time experience for users. The results are verified through ZK and posted on Ethereum for independent verification—the users still retain control of their assets and can withdraw at any time.

5. 🎯 Tokenomics & Distribution Structure

• PROVE has a fixed issuance, with the emission rate adjusted over time by governance.

• Airdrop distribution: Succinct organized an airdrop for early community members, Binance HODLer airdrop (~15 million PROVE), and the Binance Alpha program (100 PROVE exchanged from Alpha Points).

• Network fees and token emissions are shared among provers, delegators, and treasury—creating incentives for both staking community and network operations.

6. 📈 Price & Technical Analysis

• Right after launch, the price of PROVE reached 1.37–1.50 USD.

• Technical chart shows breakout from an ascending channel and a symmetric triangle pattern aiming for a target of about 1.56 USD if the upward trend continues; conversely, a breakdown could bring it down to ~1.20 USD.

7. 📌 Strengths & Risks

✅ Strengths

• The first decentralized proving infrastructure network, easy to integrate and scale for many ZK applications (AI, rollups, cross-chain, DeFi).

• Rapid adoption with over 35 major protocols and millions of proofs processed.

• Tight tokenomics with clear incentives for both provers and delegators and a treasury for long-term development.

⚠️ Potential Risks

• Technical competition: Competitors such as RISC Zero or other zkVM have stronger ecosystems.

• Security and audit risks: zkVM and proving technology still require strict validation.

• Regulatory issues: ZK related to privacy may be subject to scrutiny in some areas.

• Actual adoption may be slow if developer traction does not increase in line with demand.

⸻

8. 🧭 Conclusion

• $PROVE is the core token of a promising decentralized market model for ZK Proof services.

• With the mainnet just activated, rapid adoption, and a clear economic model, the project is receiving strong interest from both the community and investors.

• However, long-term success will depend on the ability to transition to true governance, expand the application base, and compete on both technology and operational efficiency.
