In the ZKP domain, most projects focus on 'technical parameter optimization', aiming for faster proof speeds and lower computational costs, yet rarely touch on the deeper issue of 'how trusted value integrates into digital economy rules'. Succinct's differentiated innovation lies precisely in breaking out of the single-point breakthroughs at the technical level — using SP1 zkVM as a fulcrum to redefine the 'generation, transfer, and pricing rules of trusted value' in the digital economy, allowing ZKP to upgrade from a 'technical tool' to a 'core infrastructure for establishing trusted rules', which is the key differentiator of Succinct from traditional ZKP projects.
Succinct reconstructs the 'trusted value generation rules', making trust no longer an 'add-on' but a 'basic item'. In the traditional digital economy, trusted proofs are often 'post-transaction supplements' — companies complete transactions and production first, then generate proofs to verify compliance, which is not only inefficient but can also lead to proof invalidation due to data tampering. Succinct builds a 'trusted native generation system' through SP1: it embeds trusted verification logic into the core processes of the digital economy, synchronously generating SP1 proofs when data is produced, and the proofs are bound to the data in real-time, making them inseparable. For example, in manufacturing, every time equipment sensors collect operational data, SP1 synchronously generates a 'data integrity proof', avoiding the need for post-recording; in cross-border trade, when bill of lading information is entered into the system, SP1 automatically generates a 'trusted ownership proof', preventing subsequent tampering risks. This 'generation equals trust' rule transforms trust from an 'additional step' into a 'standard process configuration', and after a certain cross-border e-commerce platform's integration, document verification time was reduced from 5 days to 2 hours, with no instances of data tampering.
More importantly, Succinct reconstructs the 'trusted value transfer rules', breaking the transfer barriers of 'chain domains, scenarios, and entities'. Traditional trusted proof transfers are often limited by 'rule incompatibility' — Ethereum's proofs cannot be used in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and equipment proofs in the industrial sector are difficult to connect with the risk control systems of financial institutions. Succinct establishes a 'cross-domain trusted transfer protocol' through SP1: it endows proofs with 'universal trusted metadata' (including ownership hash, verification standards, value attributes), allowing the recipient to verify without secondary parsing, regardless of which chain or scenario it transfers to; at the same time, the protocol defines 'trusted value splitting and merging rules', allowing large proofs to be split into standardized unit transfers (e.g., a 1 million yuan equipment proof is split into 100 units of 10,000 yuan), and small proofs from different entities can also be merged for financing. A manufacturing enterprise splits its equipment proof into 50 units for 5 small micro-enterprises to pledge for loans, thus obtaining share profits while the small micro-enterprises solve the problem of 'no trusted asset pledge', completely breaking the 'trusted value island'.
Succinct also reconstructs the 'trusted value pricing rules', making trust shift from 'priceless' to 'quantifiable transactions'. Traditional trusted values lack a unified pricing standard, making it difficult for enterprises to assess input-output, and financial institutions cannot set product prices based on trust. Succinct constructs a 'trusted value quantification model' through SP1: generating a 'trusted value index' ranging from 0 to 100 for each proof based on three dimensions: 'data credibility, scenario importance, risk level' — the higher the index, the stronger the proof's adaptability for financing and transaction premium capabilities. Banks can directly price loans based on the index (a 15% interest rate reduction for scores above 90), insurance companies can adjust premiums based on the index (a 20% premium reduction for scores above 85), and trading markets can determine the prices of trusted units based on the index (30% premium for 90-point units). A certain photovoltaic power station's carbon proof index reached 92 points, not only transacting at 25% above market price in the carbon market but also receiving favorable bank green loan interest rates, increasing annual comprehensive income by 4 million yuan, giving 'trusted value' a clear 'price scale'.
The core innovation of Succinct has never been about 'leading technical indicators', but rather redefining the 'trusted value rules' of the digital economy through SP1 — it determines how trust is generated, how it transfers, and how it is priced, allowing ZKP technology to truly integrate into the underlying operational logic of the digital economy. This positioning as a 'rule maker' allows Succinct to transcend the 'tool attributes' of traditional ZKP projects, becoming a key force in promoting the digital economy from 'information exchange' to 'trusted value exchange', and also opens up a new path for the ZKP domain from 'technical breakthroughs to rule reconstruction'.
