Introducing the 2026 ZK Industry Report
SP1 Integrates NVIDIA cuPQC to Optimize Proving with NVIDIA Accelerated Computing
How Close Can Proving Get to Computing? Introducing Flock
An Experiment in Formal Verification with Claude
Today, Succinct and the Zero Knowledge Podcast are releasing the first ZK Industry Report, tracking the state of proving technology and its move into production across industries. What's inside * A foreword from Dan Boneh, Professor of Computer Science at Stanford, on where proof systems are headed next. * The
Succinct and Chainlink are accelerating institutional adoption by offering a new ZK security option for high-value transfers between chains.
SP1 is integrating NVIDIA cuPQC, an SDK for GPU-accelerated cryptographic primitives. cuPQC will power core operations in SP1's GPU prover, making proving performant across NVIDIA accelerated computing and opening up access to the Succinct Prover Network.
Introducing Flock: a new SNARK for proving batches of standard hash functions at just 250× the cost of computing them natively.
Written by Rahul Dalal A few weeks ago, we announced VEIL, a compiler that adds zero-knowledge to hash-based multilinear proof systems with only ~3% prover overhead. The compiler relies on thirty pages of new cryptographic arguments that have not been peer-reviewed yet. As an additional check, we
OP Succinct now supports data confidentiality, letting chains keep transaction data private while still settling to Ethereum. Polygon CDK is the first production-ready implementation to use this feature, letting institutions keep customer data private without fragmenting liquidity.
Base is partnering with Succinct to prove $7.4 billion in deposits with zero-knowledge proofs.
VEIL adds zero-knowledge to hash-based proof systems with only a 3% increase in prover time.
Using cryptography to restore authenticity on the internet in the age of AI
Google Quantum AI paper reveals the quantum threat to blockchain is decades closer than expected. Here are four takeaways the industry needs to know.
Google generated a zero-knowledge proof using SP1 to prove the existence of a major quantum breakthrough, without revealing the exploit.
Succinct Labs tested 7 leading AI image detectors using AdversIm, a benchmark of 15,630 images. Simple post-processing broke every one.
SP1 Hypercube is the most advanced, secure, and trusted zkVM in production. Built by the first team to prove Ethereum in real time.
OP Succinct will become a preferred ZK proving solution for OP Stack rollups. As part of this partnership, Optimism's flagship chain, OP Mainnet, will integrate OP Succinct, making it one of the largest rollups to transition to ZK proving.
In 2025, Succinct’s biggest milestones included real-time proving Ethereum, bringing ZK proofs to major rollup stacks like Optimism, Arbitrum, and Polygon, launching the Prover Network and $PROVE, and scaling Ethereum with new ecosystem partners.
