ZK was once a tool for cryptography PhDs, and is now becoming the default component for every Web3 developer.
In the past decade, ZK (Zero-Knowledge Proof) technology has made significant breakthroughs, but it has never been able to achieve large-scale implementation, primarily due to two words: threshold.
To use ZK, developers need to master complex circuits, curve cryptography, compile constraints...
This is not a cost that ordinary teams can bear.
Succinct's proposed zkVM (SP1) changes that:
🔧 Write application logic in mainstream languages (Rust/TypeScript)
🧠 Compile into zero-knowledge proof circuits
⚙️ Automatically generate verifiable proofs through the Prover network
🪙 Users pay on demand $PROVE , node participants receive rewards
Developers no longer need to understand zkSnark, Groth16, Halo2, nor do they need to run provers or optimize computations themselves.
ZK has now become infrastructure that is "callable like RPC."
This is a leap from "cryptographic technology" to "developer tools," and it is also a prerequisite for ZK to enter the mainstream of Web3.
Have you ever given up on an idea because ZK was too difficult to use?
