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:
