After spending a long time in the crypto world, one can easily develop an instinctive reaction—when hearing 'revolutionary technology', the first thought is to question it.
Too many projects remain at the PPT stage, with very few truly implemented.
Recently, @Succinct and $PROVE have broken through this 'immunity'.
They do not attract attention through a bustling coin price, nor do they rely on large airdrops to gather interest, but instead directly create widely usable tools in the industry's most hardcore and niche field—Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK).
ZK has been talked about in the industry for many years.
The benefits are well known: security, privacy, scalability... almost万能 (omnipotent).
However, the barriers to entry are absurdly high; writing ZK applications is like building a chip from scratch, complex enough to be intimidating.
Succinct has transformed this steep slope into a flat road.
Its SP1 zkVM allows developers to write business logic in Rust, with the remaining proof generation and verification processes handled automatically by the system.
Moreover, its computational tasks are not run on a single machine but are completed in parallel by hundreds or thousands of GPU nodes, providing results in seconds.
More importantly, this is not a proof of concept; it is already running stably in projects like Polygon, Celestia, Mantle, and Google Wallet.
$PROVE is the power source of this system.
Every proof call requires payment with $PROVE to incentivize nodes.
As more public chains, Rollups, cross-chain bridges, and even AI models connect to this network, the demand for $PROVE will come directly from real business needs, rather than purely relying on market sentiment.
Web3 does not lack new concepts; what it lacks is infrastructure that can be used immediately.
Succinct has not created mysterious stories, but has pushed ZK into real production scenarios.
This is what can truly change the industry.
