In the Web2 era, data is monopolized by giants, and users are neither able to control it nor confirm whether it has been tampered with. In the vision of Web3, data should belong to individuals and be able to flow freely in the market.
The question is, how can we ensure the authenticity of data? How can transactions be conducted without leaking privacy?
The zero-knowledge framework of @Succinct precisely addresses this issue. Through SP1 zkVM, data owners can generate proofs to demonstrate "I indeed have this data" without revealing the data itself. Verifiers can confirm authenticity through lightweight on-chain verification.
The decentralized architecture of DPN Network eliminates single points of risk in proof generation. Anyone can participate, but must stake $PROVE, and cheating will lead to penalties. This guarantees the security and transparency of the entire data market.
This means that the future Web3 data market may no longer be a series of "data islands," but rather a globally transparent and verifiable market. Data can not only circulate but also create new opportunities for financialization.
I believe that the emergence of Succinct will transform data, this "new oil," into a truly trustworthy asset.
