Succinct is a decentralized prover network—often called the Succinct Prover Network—designed to make zero-knowledge proof (ZK proof) generation accessible, efficient, and decentralized. It serves as a two-sided marketplace that connects developers (requesters) with hardware operators (provers), streamlining the generation of verifiable computations for blockchain and beyond.

Core Components
SP1 zkVM
A high-performance zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) that allows developers to write programs in familiar languages like Rust or C++. These programs are then executed and proven in a ZK context—no advanced cryptographic knowledge required.
Decentralized Prover Marketplace (“Proof Contests”)
Provers stake the $PROVE token to compete in auctions, called proof contests, where they bet on delivering proofs at the lowest cost. Winning provers earn fees, while providing efficiency and scalability.
