🚀 Succinct Stage 2.5 officially launched: Provers is starting! Have they all been pledged? I received 222 Proves through airdrop ✅ Chinese Quick Overview Summary: Succinct announced that the testnet has entered Stage 2.5, marking the successful end of the six-month testing phase and officially entering the final sprint before the mainnet goes live. 🌐 The core highlights of this stage are: 1. Build the world's largest ZK verification cluster Succinct is assembling the world's top zero knowledge proof hardware team to inject GPU computing power and dedicated hardware (FPGA/ASIC) into the network. The goal is to establish a world-class high-throughput and high-performance zkProver network. 2. Open community participation to verify roles Anyone can run the reference Prover node. Old users of Stage 1 and 2 will receive: • ✅ Test Network PROVE Token (used to pledge support for your favorite Prover) • ✅ Sepolia ETH (used for paying gas) Pledge entrance: 🔗 http://staking.sepolia.succinct.xyz 3. The protocol mechanism has been fully deployed Stage 2.5 marks that the Succinct technology stack has implemented the following key features: • 🎯 Cost bidding mechanism: Provers compete based on price • 🔒 Pledge mechanism for resisting witch attacks • 📦 High throughput, verifiable settlement layer (preparing for large-scale ZK generation) 🧑‍💻 If you are: ZK Ecological Hardware Team (with GPU cluster/FPGA capabilities) Web3 verification infrastructure enthusiasts Stage 1/2 participants want to continue participating in testnet Now is the best time to join the ranks of Succinct network validators! 📣 Subsequent Preview Officially, in the coming weeks: Announce more joining the Prover team Activate the Prover incentive mechanism Publish the schedule of the main online network ⚠️ matters needing attention: At present, the PROVE tokens airdropped are testnet tokens, which have no real value, cannot be exchanged, and cannot be migrated to the mainnet. They are only used for testing and network participation exercises. Special thanks to the vest provider, beauty @ Renee7eth @0xCRASHOUT @succinct_zw @SuccinctLabs
