$PROVE – The Succinct Story
I’m watching @Succinct change how zero-knowledge proofs get done.
Instead of teams running heavy proving setups, they’ve built a decentralized Prover Network where anyone can request a proof and independent provers compete to deliver it.
You don’t need to touch complex ZK infrastructure. You just write your program, send the job, and get a proof back — trustless, fast, and on-chain.
SP1 – The Engine Behind It
SP1 is their zkVM.
Write your code in Rust (or any LLVM language) → it compiles to RISC-V → SP1 proves it.
No circuit design, no cryptography headaches.
Uses recursion, GPUs, and AVX to keep proofs small and quick.
Fully open-source, so nothing’s hidden.
How the Network Works
Provers stake PROVE to take jobs.
If they mess up or miss deadlines, they get slashed.
You pay for proofs in $PROVE.
There’s delegated staking, so you can back reliable provers and earn a cut.
Already in Action
Polygon AggLayer — using SP1 for interoperability proofs.
Celestia Blobstream — SP1 powers its bridge to Ethereum with less than 300 lines of Rust.
OP Stack rollups — aiming for faster finality with decentralized proving.
Why It Matters
Ship faster — no need to build circuits from scratch.
Scale performance with GPUs and recursion.
Skip running your own prover farm.
Build on open, audited code.
The Token
$PROVE is ERC-20 on Ethereum, fixed 1B supply.
Used for payments + staking in the network.
Mainnet and token went live August 5, 2025.
This isn’t just theory — it’s running live, securing real bridges and rollups right now.
I’m keeping my eyes on PROVE as adoption grows.
