In terms of cross-chain data synchronization and verifying Rollup information, I have encountered many pitfalls before: verification was delayed, and only after completing the main process did I find that the data format didn't match, leading to rework that cost three times more; while collaborating with other teams, we often argued for half a day over 'whose experience is more reliable', with no clear answer. It wasn't until I used Succinct for critical verifications that I found the key—'verification needs to be done early'; all decisions should be based on facts, not experience.
Early verification is not just empty talk, @Succinct helped us establish a simple process that can help us avoid pitfalls in advance:
1. Start with a small amount of data for trial and error: for instance, when developing a cross-chain asset query function, select 100 test data points first, use Succinct's Prove tool to run a test, and observe how long it takes to generate proofs and how much it costs (which is much faster and saves quite a bit of cost compared to before). If there are issues, they can be corrected early;
2. Set the rules before scaling: once the small sample is fine, finalize the data format and verification scope, then incorporate the verification logic into the main process. Now it's rare for issues to arise due to rule confusion;
3. Check the results and proofs again: after the main process is completed, take the results and Succinct's proofs, and verify them again on the APP and the blockchain. Even if something unexpected happens in between, incorrect data won't reach the users.
What's more reassuring is that Succinct has eliminated disputes in team collaboration. In the past, there was always a debate over 'following standard A' or 'modifying based on experience B'; now we simply clarify 'what content needs to be verified' and use Succinct to generate proofs to see the results. For example, during our last collaboration with the Rollup team, we generated two proofs: one checked the current balance and the other included 7 days of transaction records. Clearly, the latter can prevent forgery—there's no argument, the facts speak for themselves.
Now our team often says, 'I have verified it with Succinct', when proposing requirements or changing logic, always bringing verification results along, making it easier to gain trust in collaborations with outsiders. Succinct hasn't made decisions for us but has helped us spend less time arguing and more energy on getting things done—this shift from 'relying on experience' to 'relying on facts' is key to accelerating cross-domain computation.
