Why do I have faith in Succinct's cross-chain vision?
In the past few years, the crypto industry has faced an unavoidable question: how can chains communicate securely with each other?
We have bridges, we have relays, but we have also seen too many security incidents. @Succinct aims to solve this dilemma with zero-knowledge proof-driven cross-chain verification.
Imagine that chain A wants to prove that a transaction has truly occurred on chain B. The traditional method relies on centralized bridges or requires a large number of nodes to synchronize. But with Succinct's proof system, a simple ZK proof is all that chain A needs to be confident that the transaction on chain B is trustworthy.
The changes brought about by this are profound:
Fewer trust assumptions: no need to rely on a few intermediaries or custodians.
Higher efficiency: no need for repeated synchronization of large amounts of data between chains.
Stronger security: mathematical proofs themselves ensure authenticity.
$PROVE is not only the key to network incentives in this process but will also become the core link for value transmission in the cross-chain ecosystem.
In my view, Succinct's mission is to make blockchains interconnect like the 'Internet Protocol' rather than remain isolated islands. When that day comes, we may look back and say that the ZKP-driven proof layer was the true turning point for the industry.
