Zero-knowledge proofs always sound a bit abstract until I experienced the meaning of Succinct intuitively during a cross-chain transaction for the first time.
Before, I was always anxious: Would the bridge have issues? Would the funds disappear? That anxiety made every operation feel like a gamble. But that time, supported by Succinct's verification, the process went so smoothly that I didn't even have time to worry. At the moment the funds arrived, a sense of unprecedented ease suddenly rose in my heart.
Later, I understood that this was because Succinct turned complex cross-chain verification into a verifiable mathematical proof. Just like a delivery receipt, you can confirm the contents are genuine without opening the package.
In the community, someone said, "Succinct makes logic a form of trust." I particularly like this phrase. It makes me feel that the future cross-chain world will no longer rely on certain intermediaries but on mathematics itself.
That kind of certainty is, for me, more important than the speed of funds arriving. Because it allows me to finally take bigger steps in a multi-chain world.
