Building a ZK verification service from scratch sounds pretty cool, but have you really tried it?
Many teams want to introduce zero-knowledge verification in Rollup, Bridge, and AI applications, but when they actually start building, they encounter the following realities:
⚠️ Learning a new DSL just to write circuits
⚠️ Repeatedly debugging the proving key generation process
⚠️ Unable to find a stable running prover node
⚠️ Unstable performance, incompatible verification, high invocation costs
This is why more and more developers are turning to Succinct:
✅ No need to write circuits, directly use Rust/TypeScript to write logic
✅ After compiling with zkVM, call standard API to request ZK services
✅ The entire process is completed by the Prover network
✅ Pay $PROVE to obtain computing resources, results can be verified on-chain
ZK should not be a barrier, but rather a fundamental capability that every developer can call upon.
