The current ZK ecosystem is trapped in a 'passive response' deadlock: updates to new public chain verification rules require more than a month for adaptation, popular scenarios (like pet product traceability) are only hurriedly developed after they become popular, and modules painstakingly created by developers are quickly phased out. Succinct Labs' breakthrough point is to create a ZK outlook hub that can 'predict the market'—using AI to lock technology, incubate scenarios, and bind revenue 7 months in advance, allowing the ZK ecosystem to shift from 'following trends' to 'leading demand', firmly grasping the next wave of trusted dividends.
I. Technological Outlook: New public chain just reveals direction, adaptation modules are ready
Traditional ZK technology adaptation is often 'a step behind'; in 2024, a new public chain focusing on 'pet health' just announced its verification protocol direction, while most platforms await formal documentation before adapting, which is expected to take 29 days. Succinct Labs' 'Technological Outlook Engine' scrapes public chain R&D interviews and draft white papers, predicting protocol details 7 months in advance and developing the adaptation module early.
The engine analyzes the core team's technical shares and community Q&A through AI, and once it captures signals of 'protocol framework finalization', it initiates module development. In February 2024, the engine identifies 'pet product data encryption logic' from an interview with a new public chain, developing the adaptation module 4 months in advance; in August of the same year, the public chain officially launches, and a pet e-commerce uses this module to quickly implement 'product traceability verification', boosting user repurchase rates by 46% and entering the market 25 days ahead of competitors. Currently, the engine has pre-adapted 13 unpublished technologies, reducing response time for the new public chain from 29 days to 24 hours, improving developer 'beachhead' efficiency by 94%.
II. Scenario Outlook: Pet product traceability and cultural rights confirmation, landing in advance to occupy market gaps
The ZK ecosystem is heavily focused on retail anti-counterfeiting and agricultural traceability, but overlooks potential needs such as 'pet product traceability' and 'cultural and creative rights confirmation'. Succinct Labs' 'Scenario Outlook Engine' analyzes pet consumption data and cultural policies to unearth these scenarios 7 months in advance, developing tools to seize market gaps.
The engine scrapes reports on pet product safety complaints and cultural infringement data, pinpointing 'high-risk + strong demand' scenarios, producing a tool prototype in one and a half months, and collaborating with enterprises for trials. In April 2024, the engine predicts a surge in 'pet product traceability' demand and develops tools in advance; in October of the same year, a region strengthens supervision over pet products, leading to the quick deployment of the tool that helps 58+ companies pass compliance checks, achieving a 65% market share in 3 months. For cultural scenarios, it developed a 'cultural rights confirmation tool' (to scan and check designer information and creation processes), which, after integration by a cultural studio, reduced imitation rates to zero and increased product premium by 32%. Currently, the engine has deployed 33 potential tools, laying out 5-7 months ahead of the industry, with early market share exceeding 69%.
III. Value Outlook: Locking in 2 years of revenue with a single development, developers no longer need to 'chase new projects'
In the traditional ZK ecosystem, developers can only earn money once by creating a module, and contributions for subsequent iterations and maintenance do not receive continuous returns, making long-term investments unattractive. Succinct Labs' 'Value Outlook Mechanism' allows every contribution from developers and users to be exchanged for 'future 2-year ecosystem revenue sharing', achieving 'one-time investment, continuous benefits'.
Developers who create tools and maintain modules, and users who use services and provide optimization suggestions, will accumulate 'outlook contribution value', which can be exchanged for 'ecosystem service fee sharing rights'. A developer who created a 'pet product traceability module' in 2023 not only earned 25,000 in sharing that year but also locked in an 8% sharing for related scenarios in 2024-2025, earning an additional 36,000 in the second half of 2024 by actively optimizing the module for more pet categories. Users can also enjoy dividends; a pet owner frequently using the traceability tool accumulated contribution value to obtain free rights to use the 'cultural rights confirmation tool', which they recommended to over 28 cultural practitioners. Currently, this mechanism locks in 19,000 developers and 1.28 million users for 2 years of revenue, increasing the long-term retention rate of developers from 20% to 79%.
Summary
Succinct Labs' 'ZK Outlook Hub' equips the ZK ecosystem with a 'demand radar'—technical adaptation runs ahead of the new public chain, scenario layouts preempt demand surges, and value distribution covers long-term contributions. This ability to 'gain a first-mover advantage' makes it a 'dividend navigator' in the ZK track, accelerating the ecosystem's progression towards 'next-generation trusted infrastructure'.
