Introduction  Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are a cryptographic superpower, enabling secure, private, and scalable blockchain applications without revealing underlying data. However, their complexity has long confined ZKP development to specialized teams with deep cryptographic expertise. Succinct’s SP1 zkVM, a general-purpose zero-knowledge virtual machine, is changing that by empowering Rust developers

Introduction AI agents—autonomous software powered by machine learning—have long assisted humans in tasks like scheduling, recommendation engines, and customer support. Now, they’re stepping into the world of blockchain, where they can analyze on-chain data, make trading decisions, and execute complex DeFi strategies without human input ULAM LABS.
