Recently participated in the Gate's CandyDrop x Succinct (PROVE) event and got a deeper understanding of the Succinct project. It was truly inspiring—who knew zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) had developed to such a practical stage?
Succinct's vision is very clear: to make ZK technology affordable and understandable for all developers, not just a select few experts in cryptography. Their SP1 zkVM allows developers to incorporate ZK capabilities as easily as writing regular code, without needing to design circuits or learn complex cryptography from scratch. This is incredibly developer-friendly.
What's even more impressive is that Succinct uses rapid generation technology similar to SP1 Hypercube to boost the expected TPS of ZK applications from just a few to tens of thousands, and it can even run on a Raspberry Pi. Achieving such a balance of security, efficiency, and decentralization showcases their high technical capability.
Many may not have noticed that the White House's 2025 Digital Asset Report explicitly names ZK as a key solution for compliance and privacy in the future. This also means that general-purpose ZK infrastructure like Succinct could potentially receive increasing policy dividends moving forward.
Currently, over 35 protocols have integrated with the Succinct Prover Network, ranging from Ethereum mainnet to Rollup, Bitcoin, Solana, and even Web2 and AI verification scenarios. $PROVE is becoming the "unified payment + security infrastructure" in the ZK world.
The founders have a strong background: dual degrees from MIT and Stanford, experience with Google Brain, NVIDIA, Thiel Fellowship... This is a true Builder team focused on technology, reconstructing future infrastructure from the ground up.
ZK is moving from academic research to mainstream applications, and one-stop integration solutions like Succinct are definitely an important bridge to get more people involved.
