About succinct

The Succinct Network proposes a global, distributed proving cluster that enhances the world’s proving capacity through a competitive auction mechanism known as proof contests. This network serves as a unified platform where users can submit proof requests while anyone globally can contribute proving capacity. Provers can easily join the network by running node software, ensuring high reliability for user requests. The innovative proof contest mechanism operates as an all-pay auction with collateral, facilitating effective price discovery while promoting decentralization in the prover set. This approach addresses challenges such as proof spamming, contention, and griefing, utilizing an application-specific blockchain to coordinate provers and requests.
Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are one of the most critical technologies to blockchain scaling, interoperability and privacy. But, historically building ZKP systems was extremely complicated--requiring large teams with specialized cryptography expertise and taking years to go to production. SP1 provides a performant, general-purpose zkVM that enables any developer to use ZKPs by writing normal code (in Rust), and get cheap and fast proofs. SP1 will enable ZKPs to become mainstream, introducing a new era of verifiability for all of blockchain infrastructure and beyond.
Uma Roy, co-founder and CEO of Succinct Labs, spilled the beans on Stage 2 of their testnet, dubbed "Prove with Us." This exciting phase invites everyone to jump in and become a prover in Succinct’s Prover Network—no fancy GPU required! You’ll get to generate zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) using SP1, helping power the future of blockchain scalability and privacy. It’s a permissionless party where anyone can spin up a node, flex their proving skills, and earn points by bidding on proof contests. Stage 2 is all about hands-on fun, turning learners into active contributors in a decentralized, trustless computing adventure!

vApps: Verifiable Applications at Internet Scale

vApps allow you to build applications that give users web3-level security and transparency with a familiar web2 developer experience. We know that dApp developers are tired of the constraints they face today. They’re forced to use Solidity, deal with the EVM, and assume low throughput. In short, they’re forced to build in a box. vApps move away from the pattern of EVM forks and give developers the ability to write normal applications and turn them verifiable with a simple Rust SDK.

Tales from the Hacker House: Building an Attested Image Editor

Saul and Pablo built an in-browser attested image editor with SP1 at Upgrade the Internet, a hacker house hosted by Succinct, Celestia, and Conduit at ETHDenver. In this post, we cover their motivation for building this project, the technical challenges they faced, and the details of their implementation. Image provenance is an exciting new category for ZK applications. Try out the image editor here.

SP1 Security Update

There were two vulnerabilities found in SP1 V3, one found by Aligned, LambdaClass, and 3MI Labs and one found by Succinct. There was also one vulnerability found in Plonky3, a critical dependency of SP1, by Lev Soukhanov and Onur Kilic. We sincerely thank these researchers for reporting these issues. These three vulnerabilities are now patched in SP1 Turbo, the latest production version of SP1. We recommend all users of SP1 upgrade to Turbo ASAP, and we have frozen the routers to the SP1 verifier contracts deployed on mainnets. Succinct has communicated with all known customers about these security issues, and notified all users on the SP1 Telegram.

Using ZKPs on Solana with the SP1 Solana Verifier

Bringing Scalable, Zero-Knowledge Proofs to the Solana Ecosystem Our blazing fast zkVM SP1 now has a Solana verifier. Developers who want to use ZKPs on Solana for scalability (network extensions or large-scale ZK coprocessing) and privacy use cases (verifiable credentials, ZK KYC, confidential AMMs) can now easily use ZKPs by writing Rust and generating proofs with SP1.
