Succinct Labs has partnered with Optimism to develop OP Succinct, which can upgrade any OP Stack chain to use zero-knowledge proofs within an hour. This will improve transaction speeds and reduce fees for Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions. Succinct Labs has raised $55 million and claims its new approach is faster and cheaper than standard optimistic rollups. OP Succinct can be easily integrated into existing deployments, addressing scalability and transaction speed issues on the Ethereum mainnet. In June this year, OP Labs released a fault proof system that allows users to challenge and revoke invalid withdrawals, providing a mechanism for Ethereum Layer 2 networks.

Optimism protocol introduces OP Succinct to enhance scalability image 0Paradigm-backed Succinct Labs has announced a collaboration with OP Labs, the main contributor to the Optimism protocol, aiming to "solve" the issues with ZK rollups.

The Paradigm-backed startup Succinct Labs announced on Wednesday that they have been working with OP Labs, the main contributor to the Optimism protocol, with the goal of "solving" the problems of ZK rollups.

In a post on X, Succinct stated: "Over the past few months, we have been working closely with the OP Labs team to develop OP Succinct, a seamless way to upgrade any OP Stack chain to use [zero-knowledge proofs] within one hour."

Optimism is an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution designed to provide faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining the security and compatibility of the Ethereum mainnet. It uses optimistic rollups, which bundle multiple transactions into one, thereby reducing the load on the Ethereum network, lowering transaction fees, and speeding up processing times.

Succinct Labs raised $55 million in seed and Series A funding led by Paradigm in March, and stated that their new approach is significantly faster than "standard optimistic rollups," which have a "7-day fraud proof window," while the average transaction cost on OP Succinct is "just a few cents."

Succinct said in a blog post: "OP Succinct was built in close collaboration with OP Labs. From the beginning, the OP Labs team built the OP Stack to be modular and provided a path to support various validity mechanisms (not just optimistic fault proofs). The two-step integration of OP Succinct requires very little code and is easy to adapt to existing deployments—including Rollup-as-a-Service setups."

Scaling Solutions

The creation of Layer 2 scaling solutions is intended to address the scalability and transaction speed issues plaguing Layer 1 blockchains. Rollups are one of the available Layer 2 solutions, including zero-knowledge rollups or ZK rollups.

ZK rollups use cryptographic proofs to verify the validity of batches of off-chain transactions. This approach eliminates the need for a dispute period, providing faster transaction finality and lower gas fees compared to optimistic rollups.

In June this year, OP Labs launched fault proofs on the Layer 2 blockchain OP Mainnet. The fault proof system allows the withdrawal of ETH and ERC-20 tokens from OP Mainnet without relying on a trusted third party, enabling users to challenge and revoke invalid withdrawals. Fault proofs, as a mechanism of Ethereum Layer 2 networks, allow users to dispute potential fraudulent or erroneous transactions.

Previously, OP Mainnet did not have fault proofs, meaning users had to trust operators to submit the correct state root to the mainnet.
