Can you believe it? Top institutions like Paradigm and Standard Crypto, which usually look down from above, actually pulled out 55 million dollars to throw at Succinct—this money didn't come from nowhere. They're not betting on the 'hype of new coins', but on the two knives in Succinct's hands that can turn ZK technology from a 'forbidden area for the rich' into a 'market stall'!
How hard was it to play with ZK technology before? Just saying it could make developers cry on their keyboards: want to set up a computing power server? If you don't have a few million as a base, don't even think about getting in; the power cost for running a machine for a day could bankrupt a small team. Want to write some application code? You have to chew through cryptography textbooks until they’re worn out; you might lose all your hair and still be stuck on the first step. In short, ZK is a noble game that can only be played with money and technology, and ordinary projects can't even touch the door.
But once Succinct came, it directly tore up the rules!
The first knife: decentralized Prover network. What is this 'shared network'? This is clearly the 'Didi ride-hailing' of the ZK world! In the past, you had to buy a car, hire a driver, and handle the fuel and maintenance all by yourself. Now, thanks to Succinct, all the 'idle computing power cars' around the world are gathered together. Want to use a car? Just wave your hand; the cost is directly halved—no, it's cut to the knee! What used to cost 1 million to solve can now be done for 500,000, and the speed is astonishingly fast! It's simply a model of 'spending little to achieve great things, a surefire profit!'
The second knife: SP1 tool. What is this 'shortcut'? This is a 'cheating artifact' for developers! In the past, writing ZK applications meant starting from scratch. Now? SP1 directly equips you with the wheels, steering wheel, and engine; you just need to step on the gas. No matter if you're a cryptography novice or someone who can only write 'Hello World', using the tool allows you to develop privacy payments and on-chain identity verification effortlessly—put simply, even a beginner intern can look like a master in the ZK circle without losing a single hair!
With just these two knives, they have directly reduced the threshold of ZK technology from 'Mount Everest' to 'a small hill at the doorstep'! In the past, ZK was a 'luxury exclusive to the rich', but now it has been forcibly transformed by Succinct into a '9.9 free shipping national hit'. Capital isn't stupid; they've already noticed: whoever can turn ZK from 'a toy for a few' into 'a tool for everyone' will monopolize half of the entire future Web3!
Look at that wave of operations after the Binance listing: it once spiked to 1.9? What is this, 'spiking'? This is clearly giving early investors a 'get rich quick pass'! Those brothers who laid out ahead in Binance Alpha are probably counting money until their hands cramp, dreaming and laughing—where did this profit come from? Isn't it because the market has understood: Succinct aims to turn the value cake of ZK technology from a 'small workshop' into a 'multinational giant', and $PROVE is the knife to cut the cake. If you don’t grab it, you will regret it!
So, what capital is desperately scrambling for is not the PROVE coin? They are grabbing the ticket for ZK technology to go from 'high and low' to 'national carnival', seizing the discourse power of Web3 infrastructure for the next decade. Once Succinct sharpens these two knives further, the entire blockchain circle will have to call it the 'Godfather of ZK'—and when you look at the price of PROVE again? The current 1.9 might not even be a fraction of it!
