How does SuccinctLabs' $PROVE solve the blockchain's "data bloat" problem?

The "data bloat" issue in blockchain arises from the need for nodes to store a complete history of transaction data, resulting in an overwhelming storage burden (e.g., Ethereum has exceeded 1TB), which in turn affects network performance and decentralization. SuccinctLabs provides the following innovative solutions through its token $PROVE driven zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology and light node architecture:

ZK Proof Compression Data Verification

$PROVE utilizes SP1 zkVM to generate concise ZK proofs, transforming complex on-chain state verification into mathematical proofs that only require a few hundred bytes. For example, verifying an Ethereum block takes only 40 seconds and does not require storing complete block data, significantly reducing the storage pressure on nodes.

Decentralized Prover Network

Through a global prover network that stakes PROVE tokens, PROVE decentralizes compute-intensive tasks (such as historical data verification) to distributed nodes. Provers only need to maintain key block header information, ensuring efficient verification through a competitive market mechanism, avoiding redundant storage by full nodes.

Cross-Chain Light Node Compatibility

PROVE's light nodes support multi-chain interoperability, requiring only the verification of the target chain's block header hash and Merkle path, without the need to sync full chain data. This design reduces the storage requirements for cross-chain verification from exponential (n²) to linear (n), making it particularly suitable for high-concurrency multi-chain ecosystems.

Through the above technologies, $PROVE provides a scalable storage solution for blockchain while ensuring security, promoting the network's evolution towards efficiency and lightweight design. @Succinct #SuccinctLabs
