Succinct, a developer of zero-knowledge proof tools. secures $55million in seed and series A round funding. In addition to Robot Ventures, Bankless Ventures, Geometry, ZK Validator, and angel investors Sreeram Kannan from Eigenlayer, Sandeep Nailwal, Daniel Lubarov from Polygon, and Elad Gil, the round was led by Paradigm.
The money will be used by the business to grow both its operations and growth initiatives. Under active development, the Succinct Prover Network is a hosted infrastructure layer that enables any application to contract out the creation of proofs for proof systems that are open-source.

Applications that make use of SP1 (or other zkVMs) will be able to launch programmes onto the network and obtain quick, affordable proofs produced by a group of expert provers. The economies of scale and robust liveness assurances provided by a group of decentralised provers are advantageous to users of this open protocol.
With SP1, developers can swiftly iterate with auditable and maintainable code, use ZK with standard programming languages, and reuse pre-existing crates and libraries.
About Succinct
Succinct, The first fully open-source ZKVM that is competitive with custom ZK circuits is called SP1. With SP1, developers can swiftly iterate with auditable and maintainable code, use ZK with standard programming languages, and reuse pre-existing crates and libraries.

The results of SP1 demonstrate that a highly optimised general-purpose system can perform on par with the hand-written, specialised systems that were the only available options in the past.
