Seeing is no longer believing. AI can generate photorealistic images that fool anyone, all from a single text prompt. A cottage industry of "AI detectors" has sprung up to fight back. Researchers at @SuccinctLabs stress-tested 7 of them. They all failed 🧵

This year, we laid out an ambitious roadmap to scale Ethereum with ZK. And we delivered. 2025 was the year of proofs over promises 👇

All the comments on this thread are "how will you prove something is real, and not from an AI?" As AI improves, defenses against AI will become more important. A new class of technology will emerge to power this defense: provable technologies. In crypto, we're already used to provability being an important concept: ranging from a simple digital signature to send funds ("proof I control this account") or as complicated as a ZKP to prove a rollup's state transition function ("proof my chain is processing transactions correctly"). But provability's domain extends to non-money/non-financial use-cases. To make this more concrete, imagine a "provable camera" that cryptographically signs location/image/video data at the point of capture. Then, users provably transform this raw sensor data (actions like cropping, JPEG compression, etc.) into a consumable format posted on social media. Finally, consumers verify these proofs to know the content is real, and not coming from an AI. Blockchains were the perfect incubator for provable technologies. In an age of AI, it's time to apply these concepts to the real world.

Privacy needs ZK. But ZK needs scale. Introducing Private Proving: privacy-preserving proof generation with the power of the Succinct Prover Network.

@DanHennessy @j2k3k no my gf knows we need far more than 40 nodes in our on prem cluster

@j2k3k Is this ur gf @mattstam_eth ?

this is how infra engineers sound to front end devs

@DanHennessy you are the most creative person I've ever met absolute 🐐

Life Update: I am no longer at Succinct. I'm proud of the work I did there and hopefully get a smol mention somewhere in the ZK history book. Here are some cool campaigns I cooked as Succinct's designer, head of video, head of marketing, and of course, the Succinct Intern.

Born too late to explore the earth Born too early to explore space Born just in time to explore PROVE

The Succinct Prover Network is live on mainnet. Today, we PROVE them wrong.

who will get the LAST multiplier?

send it

@SuccinctLabs @advaith @pixnvm bought the dip

@advaith @pixnvm It’s too late, I sold it to @mattstam_eth

i love @SuccinctLabs 🩷 and u?

@advaith those rewards though 👀

Stake to The Baddie Machine.

@Halodegod @SuccinctLabs Merkle is adorable

Made something to pay tribute to the top 10 Provers on the @SuccinctLabs stage 2.5 leaderboard. If this was a movie poster, who do you think would be the villain and who'd be the protagonist?👀 #SuccinctRockStars

@advaith 💀

Lmao

The Baddie Machine is a Top 3 Prover in Stage 2.5 🔥🔥🔥 We are so locked in

@SuccinctLabs @yap00012 @advaith looking good here

@yap00012 @advaith @mattstam_eth MAAAAAAAT STAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM

My PROVE balance just went up 👀 What's your's looking like? Make sure you've staked to a prover if you want to earn more PROVE 🥩😋

check your stake 👀

BREAKING: The Provers are Coming Online. Stage 2.5 is here.

Stage 2.5 is not a testnet. It's a final filter before history is written. Mainnet is near Proof is precious Mistakes are expensive Connections are everything Only the sharp will survive Welcome to Stage 2.5 #SuccinctLabs ⚡️ #ProveWithUs @SuccinctLabs @0xCRASHOUT @advaith
