Over the past few years, zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology has been considered highly specialized, limited to a few cryptography experts. However, Succinct is now reconstructing this perception, attempting to transform ZK from a niche tool into something that all developers can use.
As a global leader in zero-knowledge network construction, Succinct has launched its core product, the Succinct Prover Network, which incentivizes global GPU nodes to participate in computations based on the $PROVE token, providing high-performance, secure, and verifiable computing capabilities for Ethereum, L2, AI, and more. It is no longer just an auxiliary plugin for a specific chain but has built a universal, highly scalable "ZK verification market."
Now, another key product from Succinct, SP1 zkVM, is equally transformative—there's no need to master complex circuit design and cryptographic principles; you can add ZK capabilities to applications using familiar mainstream programming languages. This significant reduction in the barrier to entry may mark a turning point for ZK technology to truly scale.
More importantly, this capability is no longer limited to the Web3 context. Google Wallet has launched a ZK-based age verification service—without revealing true identity, you can prove "I am over 18 years old." Behind this type of "selective disclosure" service is the lightweight proof framework provided by Succinct.
The on-chain assets protected by the Succinct Network have exceeded 4 billion dollars, covering multiple core scenarios such as Rollup, cross-chain bridges, and verification modules. Unlike traditional ZK projects that only serve a specific chain or type of privacy protocol, $PROVE is becoming the unified value transfer and security assurance layer for the entire ZK ecosystem, connecting applications across the Ethereum mainnet, Bitcoin, Solana, AI model verification, and even Web2 enterprises.
In terms of financing, Succinct has also received unanimous recognition from top institutions. Led by Paradigm in both the seed round and Series A, the project has raised over 55 million dollars. The investor lineup includes industry heavyweights such as Bankless, Robot Ventures, Standard Crypto, and co-founders of Polygon, early investors in Twitter, among others.
