Succinct (PROVE): The "Efficiency Revolution" of Zero-Knowledge Proof and the "Infrastructure" of Privacy Financialization
Amid the increasingly acute tension between transparency and privacy in Web3, Succinct (PROVE), as an efficient zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) infrastructure, has emerged as a game-changer in the financialization of privacy. Its core vision is to make private transactions on the blockchain as efficient and cost-effective as regular transactions, addressing the pain points of ZKP technology: high computational complexity, lengthy verification times, and a high barrier to adoption. In just two years, Succinct supports eight major public chains, including Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, processing over 50 million private transactions and averaging over 20 million daily calls, making it one of the most technologically advanced and widely deployed protocols in the privacy computing space. This article will delve into Succinct's core technology, key innovations, and application scenarios, revealing how it reshapes the privacy and trust logic of Web3 through a "ZKP efficiency revolution."
