While most other Zero-Knowledge (ZK) projects are still struggling with whitepapers and testing on testnets, Succinct has jumped straight into production, operating at scale and safeguarding billions of USD in on-chain asset value. This is no longer a 'future technology' story — ZK has truly become the core infrastructure for Web3 today.

📊 Real numbers (Q3/2024)

  • 5 million+ proofs have been generated on the mainnet — not on testnet or demo runs, but real transactions and applications in operation.

  • 4 billion USD+ in on-chain asset value is protected through Succinct's proofs in DeFi, rollup, and cross-chain bridge sectors.

  • 35+ major protocols have integrated, including Polygon, Mantle, Celestia, Lido…

  • 1,700+ applications have submitted requests to generate proofs through the Succinct Prover Network.

These numbers are not just 'pretty statistics' but are clear evidence of Succinct's stability, scalability, and economic impact.

🔍 What makes Succinct different?

  1. Decentralized prover network
    Succinct operates a marketplace where provers compete to process proof requests. This auction mechanism helps optimize bothcostsandspeed.

  2. Proof Execution Layer
    Developers only need to send logic or data via API to generate proof, withouthaving to build a prover themselvesor dealing with complex ZK algorithms.
    Diverse applications: rollup, AI agent, game logic, cross-chain oracle, off-chain data…

  3. SP1 zkVM Technology
    Allows programming in Rust or LLVM, compiling to ZK proof, and verifying directly on-chain without compromising performance or programming experience.

🧠 Personal perspective

Succinct has moved beyond the ‘R&D’ phase to become a critical infrastructure of Web3. Their proof layer is not just a trial product but is already processing real value, serving real applications, and proving that Zero-Knowledge Proof is no longer a future dream.

With the 'Proof-as-a-Service' approach, Succinct is ushering in an era where generating proof can be as simple as calling an API — bringing transparency, reliability, and security to any on-chain process.

💬 Open question

If generating proof is as simple as calling an API, what is the first on-chain process you want to turn into 'completely trustless'? Is it verifying market data, game results, financial transactions, or identity verification?
