Succinct Staking is Coming: Get Ready for $PROVE
================================================

Succinct is preparing to launch its native token — $PROVE. This token will not only fuel prover payments but also power staking, governance, and delegation within the network. Here’s everything you need to know to be early and ahead.

Why $PROVE Matters
------------------

*   **Staking Collateral**: Minimum 1000 PROVE to launch a prover node.
    
*   **Delegation System**: Anyone can delegate to trusted provers to earn yield.
    
*   **Slashing**: Misbehavior = loss of stake.
    
*   **Governance**: Community will control key network decisions.
    

How to Stake
------------

*   Use the official staking UI or contract interface.
    
*   Delegate directly or launch your own prover with sufficient collateral.
    
*   Monitor your rewards in the new Succinct Explorer dashboard.
    

Early Insights
--------------

*   PROVE is already deployed in testnet.
    
*   Staking UI expected to go live soon.
    
*   Delegation = passive reward opportunity for non-node operators.
    

TL;DR
-----

Get in early. Stake, delegate, or run a node. PROVE will become the bloodline of Succinct’s zero-knowledge network.
