Succinct Prover Network Stage 2: How to Earn Stars by Proving with GPU Mining
Learn how to participate in Succinct's "Prove with Us" Stage 2 testnet, set up your prover, upgrade components, and earn stars through proof contests. Limited whitelist spots available now!
What is Succinct?
Succinct Labs is building the Prover Network, a decentralized marketplace that connects requesters and provers for zero-knowledge proofs. Their mission is simple yet ambitious: "Prove the world's software."
Stage 1 of their testnet introduced users to ZK proofs through games, resulting in over 2.2 million proofs (439 trillion RISC-V cycles) being generated. Now, Stage 2 flips the script by allowing users to become provers themselves.
Unique Selling Points
Two-sided marketplace: Experience both requesting and providing proofs
Gamified approach: Earn points and stars through an engaging interface
Community focus: Connect with like-minded individuals in sub-communities
Clear roadmap: Transparent path from testnet to mainnet with community rewards

How to Participate in Succinct Stage 2: Step-by-Step Guide
1. Check if you're whitelisted
If you were active in Stage 1 or are an engaged Discord community member, you may already be whitelisted.
2. Visit the official site
Go to provewith.us to access Stage 2.
3. Set up your prover
Once you're in, you'll see your prover dashboard with three main components:
GPU: Increases your points earned per second
CPU: Increases the value of each click (manual mining)
RAM: Increases the number of clicks allowed per period
4. Start earning points
There are two ways to earn points:
Passive earning: Your GPU generates points automatically over time
Active earning: Click to mine additional points (limited by your RAM capacity)
5. Upgrade your components
Use your earned points to upgrade your:
GPU (up to level 10)
CPU (up to level 10)
RAM (up to level 10)
Each upgrade improves your earning potential:
Higher GPU level = more points per second
Higher CPU level = more points per click
Higher RAM level = more clicks allowed (starting at 300, +50 per level)
6. Bid on proof contests
Once you've accumulated at least 100 points, you can bid them in proof contests to earn Succinct Stars.
7. Wait for the next phase
Keep an eye out for Stage 2.5, which is coming soon and will complete the testnet experience.
