Today's hottest token? It's none other than $PROVE !
Today's deep reflection: my "ZK phobia" made me miss out on millions!
Today I was harshly slapped in the face twice by reality 👋, all because of my own laziness and prejudice. Recording this painful lesson also serves as a reminder to friends who are similarly intimidated by ZK.
First slap: missing the $PROVE wealth train
I watched helplessly as the token $PROVE of @Succinct
was listed on Binance Alpha, and I—
✅ Did not research the project in advance
✅ Did not prepare qualification conditions
✅ Didn't even pay attention to official announcements
As a result, I perfectly missed this big opportunity, watching the K-line soar to the sky, I could only slap my thigh in frustration 😭
Second slap: being made to cry by my own foolish ZK understanding
As a "non-technical" person who has been in Web3 for many years, every time I see:
❌ zk-SNARKs
❌ zkVM
❌ Polynomial commitments
I automatically enter "anti-addiction mode" until I discovered the SP1 zkVM of @Succinct —
It turns out ZK can be this simple?!
▸ Write regular Rust code → Automatically generate ZK proof
▸ Verify Uniswap transactions → Only need 15 lines of code
▸ Privacy protection feature → As simple as using WeChat Pay
🚀 How Succinct saves "ZK underachievers"
1. A blessing for developers
Transforming ZK development from "cryptographic hell" to "building with Lego"
Development cycle reduced from 3 months → 3 days (tested)
2. Real benefits for users
Proving creditworthiness for loans without exposing salary (finally no more being stripped bare by banks)
Cross-chain assets in blockchain games with all transaction records encrypted
3. Industry-level upgrade
Ethereum TPS increased from 15 → 10,000+
Bitcoin can also run smart contracts (via ZK bridge)
🌍 Bigger ambitions
Succinct is building the AWS of the ZK era:
$PROVE token incentivizing global GPU computing power
Has safeguarded 4 billion USD in assets (including EigenLayer nodes)
Received endorsement from the White House as a compliant privacy solution
💡 Summary of blood and tears lessons
1️⃣ Don't be scared off by jargon (now there's SP1, a "ZK translator")
2️⃣ Pay attention to B-round projects from VCs like Paradigm (this 55 million funding had been foreshadowed)
3️⃣ Binance Alpha is the barometer for wealth codes
👉 Now action checklist
