There is indeed a project that transforms ZK from 'high-cold cryptography' into a widely usable infrastructure. ZK has always been strong, but the 'high barrier to entry and difficult implementation' has deterred many developers. Succinct is completely rewriting this situation.
What they are doing is not a specific chain or a specific privacy protocol, but a universal zero-knowledge proof network, the Succinct Prover Network. Global GPU nodes are incentivized through $PROVE , providing fast and secure ZK proof computation for Ethereum, L2, AI, and more.
SP1 zkVM: Write ZK applications like writing normal code; developers don't need to understand cryptography. There are also many highlights: under the SP1 Hypercube framework, TPS can reach 10,000+, and even Raspberry Pi can run it;
Multi-chain support: Supports Ethereum, Bitcoin bridge, Solana ZK bridge, AI model verification, and more;
Even the White House report clearly states that ZK is the key path for 'privacy + compliance', and Succinct hits the nail on the head;
Strong builder background: A dual-core team from MIT and Stanford, not just telling stories but reconstructing the underlying system.
Traditional projects have to build their own zkVM, proof systems, and network nodes, while Succinct has turned these into one-click access services, truly bringing ZK from the 'research domain' into the 'development mainstream'.
Succinct is making ZK an infrastructure that the entire industry can afford, run, and connect to, and $PROVE is the fuel for this network, so when the $PROVE tokens callback, it might be a good time to take a position.
