The Succinct Network will take SP1 from a great piece of open-source software to a movement, where anyone can join to help prove the world’s software. Prove with us.

Reporter: “What keeps you up at night when you think about AI?” Sundar Pichai: “Deepfakes so good that we won’t be able to tell the difference.” We need to restore authenticity to the internet by proving what’s human and what’s AI. Just prove it. It’s that simple.

“Two significant events happened in 2025: one of them is AI getting gold at the IMO, the other is that we are now able to prove Ethereum blocks in 12s” - Dan Boneh Impressive numbers by the team building SP1. The # of GPUs required has been reduced by 10x in just 9 months.

Real-time proving at home is here. SP1 Hypercube proves 99.7% of Ethereum blocks in real time with just 16 RTX 5090 GPUs. Scaling the L1 is a reality.

ZK Moore’s law remains undefeated Back in February, when we first released SP1 Hypercube, real-time proving required ~160 GPUs. Now we’re down to 16 5090s - a 10x in 9 months! An insane technical achievement, @SuccinctLabs team keeps on shipping 🚢

We are in a simulation... Andrew Tate is shilling zero-knowledge proofs??? Direct quote: "Zero knowledge proof privacy solutions. You them now! You need to start implementing them now! I know they're a pain in the ass. But you need to start doing it NOW." @Cobratate, Succinct

in just a few weeks, we went from no product to paradigm fundraise thanks to succinct during the residency, we used sp1 to turn bitcoin into a zk rollup. would love to support anyone building on our research: https://t.co/0HKeGKWD3f https://t.co/OXVRDNNTUV

I met the Rift team at the Succinct residency last summer! Very cool to see how far they've have come since then. We’d love to see someone build on top of their Bitcoin ZK light client 👀

social trading stuff like @tryfomo seems interesting and where the world is moving, but imo memecoins are the wrong asset class the 0-sum aspect means you're dumping on your followers & there's not much "analysis" to share is anyone building a version with real stocks?

There are many Instagram accounts where their whole schtick is "crazy" IRL images. Mike Holston (@therealtarzann) has 16M followers by posting insane animal interactions. With perfect image gen models, all these influencers will need "proof of authenticity" to stay relevant.

Vlad has an IOI medal (like Vitalik) and IPhO medal (like Jeff) and says that ZK L2s are a better technical choice than alt-L1s. Listen to Vlad and come talk to Succinct Labs about all of your proving needs!

I asked @vnovakovski the founder of @Lighter_xyz why other platforms are still building for L1s and citing performance reasons? "idk, maybe they made a technical choice 2 years ago that's not relevant today. Those guys should go talk to @SuccinctLabs." He says there's no
