Xiao Zhou is the technical leader of a cross-border e-commerce platform and is currently struggling to integrate Web3 payment features. The platform wants to allow users to settle using cryptocurrencies, but whether the source of users' on-chain assets is compliant and whether transaction records can be verified has become the biggest obstacle—traditional verification methods either rely on centralized institutions, which are inefficient and prone to errors, or require manual verification of massive amounts of on-chain data, which the team can't finish checking even after a week of overtime. He sighed at the screen full of code: 'If only there were a tool that could automatically verify the authenticity of on-chain data and be recognized by all partners!'
During an industry exchange meeting, Xiao Zhou heard about Prove Network and its native token PROVE, and with a try-it-out mindset, he contacted the team, not expecting it to directly resolve his 'trust anxiety'.
The core of Prove Network is to create a 'trusted proof platform for on-chain data', like issuing an 'ID card' for every piece of data in the Web3 world. By integrating zero-knowledge proof (ZK) and decentralized identity (DID) technologies, it can transform users' on-chain assets, transaction records, credit histories, and other data into immutable and privacy-protecting 'trusted proofs'. For example, when users of Xiao Zhou's platform want to use cryptocurrency for payments, Prove automatically generates a ZK proof of the user's asset source, without exposing the user's complete transaction records, while allowing the platform and cooperating banks to quickly confirm asset compliance, completing the entire process in less than 10 seconds, improving efficiency by hundreds of times compared to manual reviews.
And PROVE is the key that drives this 'trusted proof system'. For enterprise users like Xiao Zhou, PROVE serves as the 'key' to unlock the core functionalities of the platform—generating high-priority trusted proofs and accessing multi-chain data verification interfaces all require payment of service fees in PROVE. Moreover, the more one holds, the more verification node resources can be called upon, resulting in faster verification speeds. More importantly, PROVE also supports 'proof mining': if Xiao Zhou's platform contributes compliant transaction data samples to help optimize Prove's verification model, they can earn PROVE rewards, effectively allowing them to 'earn while using', reducing the cost of technical integration.
For ordinary users, PROVE is equally practical. Users can stake PROVE to become 'verification nodes' of the platform, generating proofs for other users' on-chain data and earning a share of the transaction fees. When participating in DeFi lending or NFT trading, holding PROVE also unlocks 'no collateral limits' or 'priority purchasing rights'—because Prove's trusted proof can validate the user's on-chain credit, the platform is willing to lower the threshold based on this. For instance, if a user wants to borrow money on a lending platform, they can generate a credit proof through Prove and stake a small amount of PROVE without needing to collateralize assets to receive a small loan, something that was unimaginable before.
What surprised Xiao Zhou the most was Prove's 'cross-ecosystem compatibility'. Their platform was previously integrated with two chains, Ethereum and Polygon, and they were originally worried that the verification system would need to be deployed separately. However, Prove achieved unified verification of multi-chain data directly through the cross-chain settlement function of PROVE, eliminating the need to develop two systems. Moreover, Prove has also collaborated with several Web3 wallets and exchanges, allowing users to settle using PROVE when using trusted proof services on these platforms, further increasing ecological stickiness.
Now, Xiao Zhou's cross-border e-commerce platform has successfully launched the cryptocurrency payment feature. With Prove's trusted proof, the user payment conversion rate has increased by 30%. The cooperating banks, due to controllable risks, are also willing to offer them lower exchange rates. Xiao Zhou smiled and said: 'I used to think the trust issue in Web3 was a tough nut to crack, but now with PROVE, it feels like I have a handy tool to tackle it all at once.'
For the entire Web3 industry, PROVE addresses the most core 'trust pain point'—it transforms on-chain data from 'unverifiable numbers' into 'trustworthy assets'. Whether it's enterprise-level compliance audits or ordinary users' credit realization, there are now efficient and low-cost solutions. In an era where Web3 increasingly pursues 'trustworthiness', PROVE is building a stronger foundation of trust for the industry with its combination of 'technology + tokens', encouraging more people to confidently use and effectively utilize Web3 services.
