Decentralized Network of Providers: Key Innovation of Succinct

The main innovation of Succinct is the creation of a decentralized network of providers (provers). By mid-2025, this network consists of thousands of nodes around the world, competing to perform computationally intensive tasks for generating ZK-proofs. When a dApp or blockchain requests a proof, the request is sent to this decentralized network, rather than to a single centralized provider. Provider nodes that generate proofs faster and more reliably than others are rewarded. This decentralized architecture provides:

Resilience: The absence of a single point of failure makes the network more reliable and resistant to censorship.

Efficiency: Competition among providers reduces costs and speeds up the process.

Security: The entire system is governed by cryptographic protocols, eliminating the need to trust a single provider. Thus, Succinct provides a reliable and scalable ZK infrastructure that does not rely on trust. #PROVE $PROVE
