The Succinct Prover Network is a protocol on Ethereum that coordinates a decentralized network of provers to increase the world’s proving capacity. Read more here. We’re excited to announce Level 1: Crisis of Trust, Succinct’s first testnet program. Starting February 10th, 2025, participants in Level 1: Crisis
This post is a follow-up to our foundational article: “What Is a Zero-Knowledge Proof?” If the first piece explained what ZKPs are, this one covers how they actually work under the hood - not just mathematically, but in real production systems like rollups, zkVMs, identity protocols, and verifiable compute.
TL;DR 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
Zero-knowledge proofs are no longer just research-papers, they’re powering real applications in scaling, privacy, and verifiable computation. As the ecosystem evolves - with zkVMs, decentralized prover networks, and on-chain verification -the need for standard formats becomes mission-critical. Enter ZKTLS. This guide explains exactly what ZKTLS is,
Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are one of the most important breakthroughs in modern cryptography. They’re changing how blockchains scale, how users protect their privacy, and how applications verify compute. But the concept can feel abstract or complicated if you’re seeing it for the first time. ✅ TL;DR A
By Cairo / Succinct Residency 2024 The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is the computational heart of Ethereum. It enables developers to build decentralized applications accessible to anyone. One of the upcoming EVM updates is transformational: the EVM Object Format (EOF) upgrade introduces a series of improvements to the stack, control flow,
Our updated performance benchmarks for SP1’s latest production-ready release (v1.1.1). Experience unparalleled performance with our new GPU prover. TL;DR: SP1’s new GPU prover achieves state of the art performance, with the cheapest cloud costs vs. alternative zkVMs by up to 10x, across a diverse
