Across V4 simplifies the developer experience like never before. Integrate once, and you’re set. No repeated audits, no repeat deployments. Any chain with the universal verifier works out of the box, thanks to Succinct’s zkVM prowess.

This cuts down the complexity that plagued earlier bridges, where each new chain meant starting from scratch. Data from the 2023 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy suggests zkVMs can reduce verification overhead by up to 30% compared to traditional methods, making V4 a lean, mean, cross-chain machine.
