🧧The future of cross-chain secure communication is quietly reshaping. You may have heard of Succinct — a team once known for its ZK infrastructure, now promoting inter-chain verification under the name Prove, ushering in a new era of 'trustless, modular' verification.

Prove is a lightweight state verification protocol designed specifically for the multi-chain ecosystem, with its core product Prove Gateway compressing and verifying the block state of main chains (such as Ethereum, Celestia, Bitcoin, etc.) through zero-knowledge proofs. This compressed verification allows other chains or Rollups to reliably read the target chain's state without running a full node or relying on bridges or oracles, significantly enhancing the security and efficiency of inter-chain interactions.

Unlike traditional bridging protocols, Prove addresses the issue of 'state trust' rather than asset transfer. It functions like a pluggable module, providing cross-chain verification capabilities for modular blockchain architectures, especially well-suited for emerging modular systems like Celestia and EigenLayer, supplementing the critical aspect of state verification beyond data availability.

Moreover, Prove is also expanding the connectivity within the Bitcoin ecosystem. By constructing a ZK verification module for BTC blocks, Prove is expected to serve as a trusted interface for Bitcoin into the multi-chain world, laying a solid foundation for the application of BTC.

Currently, multiple project teams have begun integrating Prove into various cross-chain applications, including on-chain governance, inter-chain message synchronization, cross-chain identity verification, and more. As the narrative around modular blockchains continues to heat up, Prove is gradually becoming one of the foundational bridges connecting major blockchain systems, showcasing far greater value potential than traditional bridge protocols. #SuccinctLabs @Succinct $PROVE
