Do you believe it?
I'm just an ordinary programmer who has always written code without anyone noticing, recently I surprisingly earned some pocket money by 'proving others' data is correct'.
The project is called Succinct, saying it's the ZK project that resembles a 'working and earning platform' in the crypto space is not an exaggeration.
🧑💻 The story starts with a Rust demo...
I usually like to tinker with compilers and zkvm stuff, and I stumbled upon Succinct's SP1 virtual machine, which claims:
'Write programs in Rust, and you can generate ZK proofs, earning tokens.'
I initially thought it was a scam, but after running the official tutorial, a string of code generated a proof, submitted it—surprisingly, it passed!
I'm not joking, the system allocated my code proof to the project demand side, and then settled with me a PROVE reward, directly exchanged for dozens of dollars!
🤯 I found this system is so TM 'Web3 working spirit'.
Simply put, you'll understand how explosive this process is:
1. Users/projects publish ZK proof requests;
2. Countless prover nodes on the internet are 'bidding' to grab orders;
3. You run programs with SP1 to generate proofs;
4. Submit, verify, settle, and then get paid.
It is the first 'Proof-as-a-Service' operational network.
It's like a Web3 version of a crowdsourced computing power market + a 'paid contribution pool' for programmers.
🔥 I'm not an exception, Succinct has exploded!
On the first day of launch:
• It's already listed on Binance/OKX/Upbit;
• Over 1700 programs are running on it;
• Supported major protocols like Polygon / Celestia / Lido / Mantle;
• The entire network has over 4 billion dollars locked;
• Airdrops directly hit thousands of wallet addresses, and the community is going crazy!
I saw someone earn over 200U from testing airdrops, and someone staked PROVE to a node, earning over 30U in a single day.
🚨 Don't miss out if you have the skills; don't let it go if you don't have the skills either.
I've summarized a few 'boarding routes' for different groups👇
Who are you? Recommended participation method Earning method
Technical programmers Write SP1 programs to generate proofs Each order has token settlement
Ordinary users Receive airdrops + node delegation Free ride, annualized returns
Investment players Positioning PROVE Multi-chain ZK core assets
Project team Integrate Succinct for verification Reduce costs and improve efficiency, attract traffic
Key point: Succinct is not just about grabbing airdrops; it has already become the ZK infrastructure for operational businesses.
🧩 Why am I all in on PROVE now?
Let me give you three reasons:
1. Scarcity: The only ZK project that is truly operational on the mainnet, generating proofs, and listed.
2. Practicality: While other ZKs are still writing papers, it has already helped Polygon and Lido run businesses.
3. Participation: No VC qualifications needed, no GPU mining rigs required, as long as you have a browser/know how to write Rust, you can make money.
🧠 Leave a tail and ask you
Will you consider exchanging your coding skills for the next wave of Web3 profits?
Do you believe in the track of 'decentralized ZK cloud services'?
Will you buy PROVE, or wait for the next round of airdrops?
👇 Leave a comment with your thoughts, I want to gather a group of people to study the in-depth play of Succinct together, and let's explore this chain!
