Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) have long been the domain of cryptographers, locked behind walls of advanced math and expensive hardware. But that era is over. With the launch of $PROVE, @Succinct is tearing down those barriers and unleashing the first truly decentralized prover network — a revolution in how ZK proofs are generated, verified, and scaled.
Imagine a world where anyone, from solo developers to major protocols, can access the power of zero-knowledge without needing to understand elliptic curves or set up a GPU farm. That’s exactly what Succinct delivers. With SP1, their zkVM, developers can simply write Rust code and automatically produce ZK proofs — no exotic languages, no cryptographic PhDs required.
But it gets even better.
Succinct’s prover network functions like Uber for ZK: developers post proof generation jobs, and decentralized provers pick them up. These provers are powered by the $PROVE token, which serves as gas for the network, compensates workers, and opens up staking and governance for participants.
This isn’t just theory — it’s live. With over 35+ projects already building on Succinct, including Polygon, Lido, Celestia, and NEAR, and $4B+ secured across millions of proofs, the infrastructure is already proven (pun intended).
$PROVE isn't just a token — it’s the beating heart of a new, trustless computation layer for the internet. The age of inaccessible ZK is over. The era of permissionless, verifiable privacy is here.
Welcome to the future of zero-knowledge.
