š What Is #Succinct?
Succinct is a Web3 infrastructure protocol laser-focused on verifiable computation using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). It empowers developers to generate and verify ZK proofs with easeāno need for niche languages or cryptographic expertise. Built around a general-purpose zkVM, Succinct lets devs write provable programs in familiar languages like Rust, slashing integration time from months to days.
š§ Core Mission:
Make cryptographic verifiability the default in blockchain infraāboosting scalability, security, and trust-minimization across L2s, bridges, light clients, and beyond.

š $PROVE Token: The Backbone of Succinctās ZK Economy
is the native ERC-20 token powering the Succinct Prover Network (SPN)āa decentralized marketplace for ZK proof generation.
š§ Utility Breakdown:
| Function | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| š° Payment | Requesters pay for ZK proofs in $PROVE |
| š Staking | Provers stake to participate in auctions and secure the network |
| š³ Governance | Token holders vote on emissions, staking parameters, and protocol upgrades |
| šÆ Incentives | Rewards for provers, stakers, and delegates to ensure competitive pricing and reliability |

š§© How It Works
1. Proof Request: A user submits a proof job.
2. Auction: Provers bid to fulfill itāstaking $PROVE as collateral.
3. Fulfillment: Winning prover executes the job and earns fees.
4. Distribution: Fees + emissions are split between prover, stakers, and protocol treasury.
𧬠Delegation Model:
Anyone can stake and delegate it to a prover. Delegates earn a cut of fees while providing economic securityāthink liquid staking meets ZK infra.
