Succinct is building a decentralized prover network so that anyone can build blockchain applications and infrastructure secured by cryptographic truth, not trust. Succinct unifies the proof supply chain, providing highly available proof generation infrastructure with best-in-class pricing, for rollups, coprocessors and other applications using zero-knowledge proofs.By separating transaction execution and verification, the cost and latency of blockchain verification can be reduced. Its core technology SP1 zkVM leverages GPU optimization and efficient recursion to improve performance by 10 times, and achieves Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, providing solutions for scenarios such as cross chain bridging and instant fund withdrawal

We’re excited to announce Level 1: Crisis of Trust, Succinct’s first testnet program. Starting February 10th, 2025, participants in Level 1: Crisis of Trust will be able to earn stars by generating zero-knowledge proofs.

Roadmap

Succinct Network is a permissionless protocol that cleverly utilizes cryptographic economic incentives to push global proof capabilities to new heights. The birth of this protocol marks an important step forward for the project in the field of decentralized, secure, and trustworthy verification.

Succinct zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs promise a path forward. They enable a prover to convince a verifier of the knowledge of a claim (such as the execution of a program

Looking back at history, Bitcoin has enabled anyone to become a miner and participate in the mining and construction of the blockchain; Ethereum further promotes this trend, allowing anyone to become a pledger and contribute to the security and stability of the blockchain. Now, Succinct Network is once again leading the trend, allowing anyone to become a prover and use their computing resources to provide verification services for the blockchain world.

Figure 1: ZK proving technology has seen rapid progress.

However, in today's digital world, verifiable resources are particularly scarce. Although centralized intermediaries can provide a certain degree of verification services, they often require users to pay a trust cost. Although decentralized systems have higher security and credibility, they face many challenges in terms of scalability. To address this issue, zero knowledge proofs (ZK) have emerged. It ensures the accuracy and security of verification through mathematical methods, bringing a new way of verification to the blockchain world.

In order to consolidate global proof capabilities into a seamless and unified hierarchy, Succinct Network proposed two new concepts: global distributed proof clusters and proof competitions.

The Global Distributed Proof Cluster is a collection of distributed validators consisting of hardware teams, data center operators, and home devices, spread across the globe, working together to provide verification services for the blockchain world.
