Imagine you have deployed a contract on-chain that can read the Bitcoin block status in real-time and operate based on conditions without relying on any oracle or bridging intermediaries. Prove is doing exactly that, and it is achieved using zero-knowledge technology.

Prove is a ZK interoperability protocol launched by Succinct Labs, providing a standardized API and validator system that allows developers to call zk-validated external chain states. You don't need to run validation nodes yourself; simply deploy a lightweight logic to access the states of main chains like Ethereum, BTC, Celestia, Solana, and more.

This approach has three major benefits: 1) High degree of trustlessness, no need for third-party intermediaries; 2) Small data size with minimal computation and validation overhead; 3) Extremely modular, compatible with any chain that supports zk, and flexibly embedded into existing L2 and modular systems.

Currently, Succinct Labs has launched multiple ZK Light Client sample templates on Devnet, with projects like Celestia DA reading, EigenLayer state validation, and more already integrated. In the future, it will expand to ecosystems like Cosmos and LayerZero.

In addition, Prove recently initiated a Builder Grant to provide funding for developers to encourage the development of cross-chain zk applications. It can be said that they are not just building zk tools, but are defining the industry standards for zk interoperability. #SuccinctLabs @Succinct $PROVE
