The Succinct Prover Network is currently in testnet. This means things are subject to change or break along the way.

This is a step-by-step guide to help you get started with the Succinct Prover Network, an open, permissionless protocol composed of a distributed network of provers that can generate proofs of any size quickly and reliably.

Why Use the Succinct Prover Network?

The Succinct Prover Network offers a powerful way to generate proofs without managing complex proving infrastructure yourself. For most developers, we strongly recommend using the prover network over local proving.

  • Minimal Setup: No need to set up high-performance instances, configure GPU drivers, or manage complex CUDA environments—all hardware requirements are handled for you
  • Cost Efficiency: Benefit from economies of scale by utilizing our existing fleet of optimized proving instances
  • Enhanced Latency: Experience faster proving times through our architecture that parallelizes work across dozens of GPUs
  • Dynamic Scalability: Scale effortlessly as our network automatically provisions additional resources based on your demand
  • Advanced Hardware Access: Use cutting-edge GPU hardware that's typically unavailable on local machines or standard cloud providers

Before you begin

Before diving into the Succinct Prover Network, make sure you have a basic understanding of zero-knowledge proofs and have installed the necessary dependencies. The following resources will help you get started:
