🔐With their new SP1-Contract-Call (SP1-CC), Succinct Labs is changing what you can accomplish on Ethereum. This zero-knowledge (ZK) primitive works well with the EVM as a coprocessor. This new idea, which is based on the Succinct Decentralized Prover Network and SP1, makes it very easy and fast to set up general-purpose zero knowledge. You don't need to build a lot of complicated, heavy infrastructure.



The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is what makes apps that don't depend on a central server operate. It secures assets worth more than $100 billion on a number of chains. Even though it has a number of serious flaws, the EVM is the most popular: ‱ Can't See Old Data: Smart contracts can only tell you how much a storage space is worth right now. You have to employ expensive SSTORE operations and build intricate proprietary logic to maintain track of past states. ‱ Gas Bottlenecks: It is challenging to build dApps that have a lot of features and use a lot of computational power since gas prices are high and gas constraints are strict. ‱ Immutable Contracts: Upgrades are costly, so many organizations can't afford to plan ahead for them.

These limits make Ethereum safe and decentralized. But they also stop new ideas from coming up. SP1-CC makes everything different.

With SP1-CC, developers may use a Read → Compute → Verify approach that is better than what they could do before: 1. Read: You can obtain the blockchain's prior state from any block, together with storage, events, and calldata. 2. Compute: Run Solidity logic offchain without any gas limits and with complete freedom. 3. Verify—Add a single ZK proof to the blockchain to prove that the calculation is correct.

Ethereum can do all of these things without losing its trustlessness: next-gen DeFi protocols, enhanced analytics, AI-driven dApps, and more.

In summary, Succinct's SP1-CC speeds up and strengthens the EVM, turning it into a really programmable space that will last for a long time. Now, developers have the resources they need to think up new ideas that go beyond the confines of gas and old data. Ethereum may never be the same again. 🚀
