The limitations of on-chain computation have always puzzled me. Many applications have more complex requirements but are constrained by performance, forcing them to place logic off-chain. The problem is, how can you trust the results off-chain? This creates a contradiction.
The zk co-processor provided by Succinct acts like an add-on, breaking this deadlock. It allows applications to call off-chain computations and then brings the results back on-chain using zero-knowledge proofs. In other words, you no longer have to choose between "efficiency or trustworthiness"; you can have both.
I envision a developer who, in the past, had to implement complex computational logic, sacrificing either security or efficiency. Now, with Succinct, they can confidently call off-chain computations and let the chain verify the authenticity of the results. This is a liberation for developers and a guarantee for users. It allows us to see more complex application scenarios become possible, thus expanding the boundaries of blockchain.
