Snarkify Joins the Succinct Prover Network

Last week, we opened the Succinct Prover Network to provers worldwide, in a major expansion of the network. This release marked the first time that provers who will work to generate ZK proofs at the best prices and latencies could join the network from all over the world. We’ve already onboarded provers from 12+ countries and are growing extremely fast.

As a part of this expansion, we’re thrilled to announce that Snarkify has joined the network as one of the earliest prover teams. Snarkify’s team is composed of experts in cryptography, high-performance computing, and operating systems. Their prover joining the network is a major vote of confidence for the global, high-performance system we are aiming to build. It will service some of the most important protocols in crypto and act to take ZK mainstream.

Snarkify’s team has extensive experience in accelerating proving on GPUs, FPGAs, and in the browser, as evidenced by their performance in the 2022 and 2023 Z-PRIZE. Snarkify also has expertise in running proving in datacenters and will be well-positioned to reduce the cloud costs of running SP1 beyond what is available on AWS and other public clouds, giving users of the network best-in-class performance.  

Snarkify is running a prover with their novel SP1-SRT proving engine that serves as a real-time proving backend for SP1. It accelerates proving and will aim to provide the best costs and latencies to users. With this proving engine, Snarkify will aim to achieve real-time proving on the network, providing users with the benefits of proof system acceleration and the fastest latencies. SP1-SRT benchmarks will be released soon, so keep your eye out!

Looking ahead, we’ll be onboarding more provers, including individuals and teams. If you have experience with node operation, running high-performance systems, or are just interested in getting started with proving, contact us and we’ll help you get set up.
