Why switch

Common reasons to look for Succinct alternatives

Server-side proof generation — data leaves the client to be proven.

Not designed for client-side privacy where data must stay on-device.

Orkid addresses these issues with a transparent 9 bps flat fee, gasless execution via Permit2, patent-backed MEV detection, and full surplus return to the user.

What Succinct does well

Where Succinct still makes sense

Succinct is not a bad product. It has real strengths:

  • Well-funded with strong investor backing.
  • Prover network infrastructure for large-scale proof generation.
  • Supports multiple proof systems and chains.

The question is whether those strengths matter more to you than transparent pricing, gasless execution, MEV protection, and surplus return.
