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 actually achieve simplicity + usability.
In simple terms, you no longer have to trust a centralized node to return data that might be tampered with; Succinct lets you verify that each step's state is correct, like giving information on the chain a shot of "counterfeit-proof vaccine."
Of course, it's not some grand white paper promotion, but I actually went through the API myself, wrote a demo in Rust, and it ran pretty fast. In the future world of Web3, this kind of infrastructure should be standard.
By the way, here's a tag: @Succinct
