Boundless Partners With NodeInfra

Boundless has partnered with Nodeinfra to deploy hundreds of GPUs, expanding the world’s largest proof network and advancing zero-knowledge proving to internet scale. This collaboration increases capacity, reliability, and scalability for blockchains and decentralized applications.

Proving is the New Mining

Boundless is the universal ZK protocol that makes blockchains internet-scale. Its novel incentive mechanism, Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW), and native token ZKC reward prover nodes for generating proofs that power L1s, rollups, bridges, and applications across all ecosystems. PoVW turns proving itself into the source of new value, making ZKC one of the first ZK-mined tokens.

Mainnet is Live

Boundless mainnet is live. With the release of Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW) and ZK Coin (ZKC), a new era begins where zero-knowledge proofs can power every ecosystem. Provers earn ZKC as the first token mined by proofs themselves, and blockchains gain the capacity to scale like the internet.

Introducing ZK Coin

Introducing ZK Coin (ZKC), the native token of the Boundless protocol. Through Proof of Verifiable Work, staking, and governance, ZKC aligns incentives for provers, builders, and token holders while serving as the backbone for ZK proving everywhere.

Mainnet Beta Week 1 Recap

Boundless mainnet beta has officially been live for one week, here is a recap.

Boundless Mainnet Beta is Live

Boundless Mainnet Beta is live with The Signal: an open-source ZK consensus client that distills Ethereum finality into a single proof, enabling any chain or contract to read Ethereum state directly. A new era of scaling and interoperability starts now through industry-wide collaboration to ZK prove all chains.

Boundless Prover Incentives

Boundless mainnet beta is live. Provers can now compete for 0.5% of the Boundless token supply over a 5-week incentivized phase. Connect your GPUs, optimize your prover, and climb the leaderboard now.

Introducing The Boundless Foundation

Introducing the Boundless Foundation: Dedicated to bringing zero-knowledge technology to applications worldwide and making verifiable computation abundant, accessible, and transformative.

ZK Mining on Boundless

Boundless introduces a new model of ZK mining: provers earn marketplace fees for completing proof jobs from any blockchain and, through Proof of Verifiable Work, receive $ZKC precisely in line with the GPU cycles each proof consumes.

The Last Iteration of Blockchain Incentives: PoVW

Blockchain technology has evolved through pivotal innovations in economic design, each solving fundamental limitations while creating new possibilities. Boundless introduces Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW), fundamentally reimagining how blockchain economies function through verifiable computation markets.

ZK for Every Rollup

Upgrade any OP Stack rollup to ZK with OP Kailua on Boundless. Hybrid and Validity modes give flexible integration paths and faster finality, while a decentralized prover marketplace ensures low-cost, always-on proofs.

Steel on Boundless: Solidity without gas limits

Steel on Boundless lets developers run Solidity code without gas limits and unlock a new era of expressivity.

The Architecture Behind Boundless

Boundless skipped building a new chain, embedding its proof market as smart contracts on existing L1s/L2s. This lets it deliver ZK proofs natively, no bridges, no extra trust sets, full chain-level security.

A Comprehensive Guide to Boundless

Boundless is a universal ZK protocol that gives every blockchain access to abundant, verifiable compute through a native on-chain marketplace.
