I just used the zkProof node verification feature of Succinct, and to be honest, I was a bit amazed. I used to think that zero-knowledge proofs were something that could only be understood in papers, but I didn't expect them to really achieve simplicity + usability.
In simple terms, you no longer have to trust whether the data returned by a centralized node has been tampered with; Succinct allows you to verify that each step of the state is correct, like giving on-chain information a shot of 'non-falsifiable vaccine'.
Of course, this is not some lofty white paper promotion, but I really went through the API myself, wrote a demo in Rust, and it runs quite fast. In the future world of Web3, this kind of infrastructure should be a standard configuration.
