[Succinct #1. What is Succinct, and Why Does It Matter?] 🔐"ZK Proof for every software, on it's way to ZK backbone of Web 3.0" 1. In the age of modular blockchains, zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs have gone from a theoretical marvel to a foundational necessity. Yet, their compute-heavy nature poses a massive bottleneck: building and verifying ZK proofs remains resource-intensive, slow, and isolated to those with specialized tooling. That’s where Succinct enters — a crypto infrastructure project that's not trying to build the next rollup or wallet, but something more fundamental: a decentralized, general-purpose ZK proving layer for the entire industry.

2. Founded by a team of Stanford cryptographers and systems engineers, Succinct is backed by investors like Paradigm and Robot Ventures, and it’s already working with a wide range of L2 teams. Their core thesis is simple yet powerful: ZK proofs will power the next wave of scalable, secure blockchains, but only if proving becomes accessible, efficient, and composable. Much like how AWS abstracted away server complexity, Succinct aims to abstract away proof-generation through its programmable ZK stack. 3. The flagship product, SP1 (Succinct Prover 1), is a zkVM — a zero-knowledge virtual machine that supports general-purpose computation and compiles to efficient STARK proofs. Unlike tightly coupled zkVMs like those used in zkSync or Starknet, SP1 is designed to be modular and chain-agnostic. This means it can be used not just for rollups, but for oracles, bridges, coprocessors, and any app that requires verifiable computation.
