The blockchain industry is entering a new era where scalability and trust are no longer optional — they are essential. Succinct Labs (@Succinct is leading this transformation with its cutting-edge zero-knowledge infrastructure, combining the power of the SP1 zkVM and the Succinct Prover Network. At the center of this proving economy lies the $PROVE token, which aligns incentives for provers, developers, and the community. Together, they are building the foundation of a more secure, efficient, and scalable Web3.
At the heart of Succinct’s ecosystem is SP1, the world’s fastest zero-knowledge virtual machine. Unlike proprietary zkVMs, SP1 is fully open-source under MIT/Apache 2.0 licenses, ensuring transparency and developer accessibility. Since its launch in 2024, SP1 has continued to evolve, with the release of SP1 Turbo (v4.0.0) in January 2025 delivering unmatched speed and cost efficiency. By leveraging precompiled cryptographic operations, SP1 reduces proving times by up to thirty times compared to other zkVMs, making it suitable for real-world applications such as rollups, zkEVMs, and cross-chain bridges. Already, SP1 has secured more than $4 billion in TVL across leading protocols like Polygon, Celestia, and Taiko, while generating over five million proofs — a strong signal of mainstream adoption.
The Succinct Prover Network, launched on mainnet in August 2025, takes this vision even further. It is the world’s first decentralized prover marketplace, coordinating a global pool of provers to generate ZK proofs at scale. Instead of developers building costly and complex proving infrastructure, the network offers a simple API to outsource computation. Proofs are delivered with low latency, transparent pricing, and strong security guarantees. The network currently supports more than 35 protocols and processes proofs from over 1,700 unique programs, showcasing its robustness and scalability in production environments.
Powering this ecosystem is the $PROVE token, which serves as the native currency of the proving economy. Developers pay for proofs in PROVE, while provers stake tokens to secure the network and earn yields tied directly to proof volume. This creates a two-sided marketplace where demand and supply meet transparently on Ethereum through auction-based pricing. By aligning all participants under a single token economy, PROVE ensures that as proving demand increases, the network continues to grow stronger and more decentralized.
The significance of Succinct Labs lies in its ability to move Web3 away from trust-based systems, such as multisigs or validator committees, and toward cryptographic truth. With economies of scale reducing costs, developers can now build scalable applications with trustless verification at their core. Recent collaborations highlight this shift: Succinct partnered with the World Foundation to bring validity proofs to millions of World Chain users, introduced OP Succinct to enhance Optimism rollups, and integrated SP1 with Helios to improve Ethereum light clients. These partnerships show how Succinct is becoming the backbone of Web3’s proving infrastructure.
As blockchain adoption accelerates, Succinct Labs is not just creating faster proofs — it is building a new paradigm where zero-knowledge proofs are as common as smart contracts. Developers can explore SP1 and the Succinct Prover Network through detailed documentation at docs.succinct.xyz, while provers can participate by staking $PROVE and contributing to the network’s reliability.
With Prove currently priced at 1.3326 (+1.7%), Succinct Labs is proving that the era of programmable truth has already begun.
