Building a ZK verification service by yourself 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 stable operating prover nodes
⚠️ 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, invoke standard API to request ZK services
✅ The entire process is handled by the Prover network
✅ Pay $PROVE to acquire computing resources, results can be verified on-chain
ZK should not be a barrier, but rather a fundamental capability that every developer can access.
