How OP Succinct works
Succinct makes it easy for developers to integrate ZK proofs into their product, and OP Succinct is their new offering for rollups. OP Succinct turns an OP Stack chain into a Type-1 zkEVM by proving the OP Stack’s State Transition Function (STF) leveraging Succinct's SP1 prover.
Advantages of OP Succinct
OP Succinct gives rollup developers three key benefits:
- Fast finality. The seven-day withdrawal period is one of the biggest UX hurdles rollups face. It keeps liquidity siloed, limits traders’ flexibility, and disincentivizes users from trying your chain. Traditionally, the only way around the withdrawal period has been to integrate a third-party bridge, but this comes with additional friction and security trade-offs. OP Succinct lets rollups prove transaction validity faster with ZK proofs, and decreases withdrawal times from seven days to under an hour.
- Low transaction fees. OP Succinct adds under 1 cent in fees per transaction ($0.005 on average) top cover proving costs — a small price to pay for fast finality and other benefits. The proving costs are expected to drop even more in the future.
- Type-1 EVM Equivalence. OP Succinct rollups are fully EVM equivalent, including full bytecode compatibility. All tooling and smart contracts that work with OP Stack rollups work with OP Succinct Rollups, with no changes necessary.

Notes
Currently only rollups with ETH Data Availability are supported. Alt-DAs support like Celestia and EigenDA are being developed. Feel free to request anyway, we will reach-out when available.
