If you think Succinct is just a 'ZK service provider', you may be underestimating what it truly aims to accomplish.
It does indeed provide zkVM, computing networks, GPU scheduling, proof systems...
But these are not the goals; they are means to an end.
The real problem Succinct addresses is a capability that has long been missing in Web3: an open and clearly incentivized off-chain computational collaboration order.
Today's off-chain verification mechanisms are fundamentally supported by three approaches:
1️⃣ Centralized APIs + self-certification by project parties
2️⃣ Partial node alliances (trustworthy but closed)
3️⃣ Self-built circuits and provers, with extremely high development/maintenance thresholds
This leads to:
⚠️ Trust still relies on 'reputation' rather than proof
⚠️ Nodes lack continuous incentives and are unwilling to provide computing power
⚠️ Each project reinventing the wheel, leading to extreme resource waste
The underlying logic of Succinct is as follows:
🧱 Unified zkVM standards, available and runnable by everyone
🖥 Market-driven GPU computing power supply, whoever takes the order benefits
🪙 Establishing positive incentives with $PROVE to coordinate resource flow
🌍 The entire system is composable, integrable, and scalable, without conflicting with existing chain structures
It is neither a replacement for chains nor for applications,
It builds a truly 'trustworthy and callable' computing infrastructure between chains and off-chain.
This is the technical foundation of Succinct and its ecological ambition.
