Boundless Mainnet Launch Brings Cutting-Edge ZK Protocol to Blockchain Ecosystem
Revolutionizing Blockchain Infrastructure with Boundless
Boundless, a decentralized zero-knowledge (ZK) computing protocol, has officially launched its mainnet, marking a pivotal advancement in blockchain technology. Designed to deliver verifiable computing for all blockchains, Boundless enhances scalability, privacy, and interoperability while preserving decentralization. Supported by prominent players in the industry, such as the Ethereum Foundation, Base, Wormhole, and EigenLayer, this groundbreaking launch sets a new benchmark for blockchain infrastructure.
According to Shiv Shankar, CEO of Boundless, “The mainnet launch marks a turning point for blockchain infrastructure. For the first time, developers across all chains can access robust ZK computing, enabling the creation of sophisticated cross-ecosystem applications without compromising decentralization.”
This development follows Boundless' record-breaking performance during its Incentivized Mainnet Beta, where it became the first network to achieve full Ethereum consensus on ZK proofs. Impressively, the protocol validated 100 billion cycles for other EVM chains, earning accolades from the Ethereum Foundation. With its new $ZKC token and Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW) incentive mechanism, Boundless empowers developers by enabling decentralized computing across the entire blockchain ecosystem.
Breaking Barriers: Industry Milestones in Decentralized ZK Proofs
Boundless has redefined decentralized proof capabilities by achieving significant industry milestones. It has become the first decentralized proof network to surpass the 1 GHz barrier, demonstrating exceptional scalability and efficiency. A total of 2,797 provers submitted ZK proofs on-chain, with the top 125 provers maintaining over one billion proof cycles per second. These achievements solidify Boundless as a leader in the scalability of blockchain-based verifiable computing.
The market has responded enthusiastically to Boundless' innovations. During its most recent public community sale round, the protocol exceeded expectations by achieving 18 times its target subscription in just a few days. This widespread investor confidence underscores the significant demand for Boundless' decentralized ZK proof technology.
Expanding Influence Through Integrations with Over 30 Protocols
The Boundless ZK proof protocol has been integrated into more than 30 blockchain protocols, enhancing its utility and establishing its role as a critical piece of blockchain infrastructure.
Wormhole Integration
Wormhole adopted Boundless technology to strengthen the provability and security of cross-chain transfers, implementing ZK verification for Ethereum consensus. Robinson Burkey, co-founder of Wormhole Foundation, noted, “Boundless provers are a critical step in Wormhole’s modular ZK strategy, allowing us to deploy top-tier open-source ZK technology across our ecosystem.”
EigenLayer Integration
Boundless reduces gas fees for large-scale operations in EigenLayer, such as verifying the balances of over 400,000 stakers. Previously, such tasks incurred billions in gas fees; now, they cost just $50 using Boundless technology, demonstrating its potential for optimizing protocol efficiency.
Bitcoin Meets EVM with BOB
Boundless has enabled BOB to launch the first hybrid Bitcoin rollup, which integrates Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum’s liquidity. By leveraging Boundless’ ZK proofs, this innovation bridges the gap between the two ecosystems.
Lido Integration
Lido utilizes Boundless technology to secure validator withdrawals with transparent and verifiable proofs. Strengthening trust and security, this integration provides enhanced scalability for Lido, which safeguards over $37 billion in assets.
Through these integrations, Boundless is setting a new standard for blockchain protocols, delivering universal access to ZK technology while facilitating interoperability across diverse ecosystems.
$ZKC Token and Proof of Verifiable Work: Fueling Decentralized Computing
Central to Boundless' ecosystem is its Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW) mechanism, powered by the $ZKC token. This system rewards provers for submitting valid proofs, incentivizing a decentralized supply of computing power while fostering engagement from individual GPU operators and institutional participants alike.
The $ZKC token serves as more than just a reward mechanism—it plays a vital role in the network's incentives, governance, and ecosystem growth. It ensures marketplace security, drives protocol upgrades, and promotes widespread participation. A significant portion of $ZKC tokens has already been distributed through community sales and initial contributor airdrops, further entrenching stakeholder involvement in Boundless' future endeavors.
Setting a New Benchmark for Blockchain Infrastructure
The Boundless mainnet launch establishes a foundation for next-generation blockchain development, opening the doors to innovative decentralized applications, financial solutions, and digital institutions. By offering universal, permissionless access to sophisticated ZK computing, Boundless redefines blockchain scalability, privacy, and interoperability, solidifying its position as a transformative leader in the Web3 space.
With strong integrations across major protocols and groundbreaking advancements in ZK proof technology, Boundless is poised to set new standards in decentralized computing while driving the evolution of blockchain infrastructure worldwide.
