Succinct promised a lot but delivered very little. I was part of their community for over a year, and during that time, there was barely any visible progress or engagement. The server was inactive, and it felt like development had stalled completely. Then, out of nowhere, they flipped the narrative—suddenly users had to beg for access codes to even try the platform. It became more about who you knew rather than what you contributed. Influencers and insiders got easy access, while actual community members were left sidelined. Even the airdrop, which could’ve been a chance to reward real testers, ended up going to the usual inner circle. It was disappointing to see such a promising project turn into just another closed club.

Uma Roy, co-founder and CEO of Succinct Labs, is a true pioneer in the blockchain world. Honored in Forbes’ 2025 30 Under 30 Finance list, she has played a key role in making zero-knowledge proofs accessible to developers—without requiring deep cryptography knowledge. Thanks to her visionary leadership, Succinct Labs secured $55 million in funding led by Paradigm to push forward innovations like their zkVM, SP1, and decentralized prover network. Uma’s forward-thinking approach is accelerating the adoption of scalable, privacy-focused solutions across the blockchain ecosystem.

Uma Roy is the CEO of Succinct Labs, a company focused on making zero-knowledge (zk) technology accessible to any developer. With a background at MIT and experience at Google Brain, she’s now pushing zk proofs into a space where developers can integrate them easily, without deep cryptography expertise.

The process they have done and managed so far is truly extraordinary. Having limited people in the testnet phase and carrying out the stages is very professional. The Succinct project is already a revolution in itself.

Uma Roy as a founder of Succinct, doing great works with ZK technology. Succinct will key for scaling Ethereum with ZKproofing the L1. Incredibly smart person, who give us big oppournity to participating Succinct Phase1, 2 and 2.5 of Testnets. Personally thank you for great experience, hope with Launch of Succinct, you will get big success.

She is the founder of Succinct, a project focused on ZK technology. Succinct is currently running on testnet and has just launched real-time proving to support Ethereum. This was once unimaginable but they’ve made it happen. With her talent and passion, I believe Uma will lead Succinct to success.

Hey Uma. The term Zk was a term I knew for many years. But I thought it was just a technological term. I learned from you that this was wrong. Zk is actually a technology we need in our daily lives. Succinct is one of the projects I am most excited about in web3. Managing such an important project at such a young age really shows how smart you are. I am a math teacher. You are someone I show as an example to my students.

Puma is one of the best in web3. SP1 is an interesting tech and I've seen a lot of development recently. More integrations left and right and it overwhelmed my mind. Im holding my airdrop by the way If Uma will create a ZKgroup like KPOP ill be buying her lightstick.

Uma Roy , co-founder and CEO of succinct , Spearheaded a $55M funding round led by Paradigm and launched SP1 - a univeraL zkVM delivering up to 28x faster proof generation - which now powers Mantle's 168x quicker ZK-rollup finality .

The frontrunner of succint she has been spearheading the revolution succint is bringing to zk and proving top one she is excited to see how succint will bring about positive improvements to zk and also proving.
