Optimism Partners with Succinct Labs to Accelerate ZK Proving on OP Stack
Optimism Partners with Succinct Labs to Accelerate ZK Proving on OP Stack
🔐 Optimism's ZK proving upgrade
Optimism has announced Succinct Labs as its first preferred ZK proving partner to improve withdrawal speeds on the OP Stack.
The partnership aims to make markets more efficient by enabling:
- Faster withdrawals that are both efficient and secure
- Reduced finality times from weeks to 1-7 days
- Lower bond requirements, dropping from hundreds of ETH to just 5-15 ETH
Succinct Labs recently released OP Succinct Lite, a solution that allows OP Stack rollups to integrate ZK fraud proofs without major infrastructure changes. The system resolves disputes through single-step computation while maintaining compatibility with existing sequencers and nodes.
AltLayer's RaaS platform supports seamless integration of Lite for Optimism-based rollups.
Markets work better when withdrawals are fast, efficient, and secure. That’s why we’re accelerating ZK proving on the OP Stack with @SuccinctLabs as our first preferred ZK proving partner.
Big day for the Superchain. 🔴✨ We’re integrating ZK more deeply into the OP Stack, and are excited to announce that @SuccinctLabs is our first preferred proving partner in this area. Validity proofs are going — and withdrawals are about to get faster. Here's what that means.
Superchain H2 2025 Performance Analysis Released
The Superchain network has published its second-half 2025 performance breakdown, providing insights into the network's development and metrics during the latter six months of the year.
