Head of Marketing

What We're Building

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are critical to the future of blockchain scaling, interoperability, and privacy, but are too complex for most developers today. Succincts mission is to make ZKPs simple and accessible for all builders.

Our core product is SP1 , a breakthrough zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine) that enables developers to generate ZK proofs from normal code (like Rust) with state-of-the-art performance.

To support SP1, weve built the Succinct Prover Network a protocol on Ethereum that coordinates a decentralized network of provers for universal ZK proof generation. This lets developers outsource proving to a global, competitive marketplace of provers.

Our infrastructure is already in production with many of the best teams in crypto :

Polygon is using SP1 to build AggLayer and Katana

Celestia and Avail use our network to secure Ethereum bridges

Mantle ($2B TVL) is using it to become the worlds largest ZK Layer 2

And many more, including Celo, Interchain (IBC V2), Hibachi, Lido, Galxe, Taiko, Sovereign, and others

zkVMs are now a key part of Ethereums scaling roadmap, and Succinct is at the forefront delivering real-world impact, meaningful revenue, and some of the most technically ambitious work in ZK.

Weve raised $55M across Seed and Series A from Paradigm , and we're a small, high-performing team focused on building deeply technical products with real-world adoption.
