Succinct will launch the PROVE Token as the native asset of the ZK proof network.

PANews, May 20 news, according to The Block, Paradigm-backed Succinct announced the launch of the PROVE Token as the native asset of its Ethereum-based zk-SNARKs validator network. The network aims to build a decentralized marketplace connecting proof requesters with proof generators, supporting use cases such as Blockchain verification, cross-chain bridges, and AI computation. The PROVE Token will serve as the core payment medium and incentive security mechanism of the network, used for paying proof generators, staking economic collateral, and participating in governance (such as adjusting network parameters). If validators fail to submit proofs on time or act maliciously, their staked tokens will be subjected to slashing. Currently, the Succinct validator network is in the second phase of the Testnet, with Phase 2.5 set to launch soon in preparation for the Mainnet launch. In 2024, the core development team of the project, Succinct Labs, completed a $55 million Series A financing round, led by Paradigm.
