Boundless Mainnet: Zero-Knowledge Revolution on Base

Boundless launches its Mainnet on Base, unlocking verifiable compute for all blockchains via zero-knowledge proofs, enhancing security and scalability.

Boundless Mainnet: Zero-Knowledge Revolution on Base

The world of blockchain is buzzing with the launch of Boundless Mainnet on Base. This marks a significant leap, offering verifiable compute to every blockchain through zero-knowledge (ZK) technology. It's a game-changer for security and scalability.

Boundless: Unleashing Zero-Knowledge Compute

Boundless, incubated by RISC Zero, has officially launched its Mainnet on Base. This allows any blockchain to access verifiable compute, building on the success of its incentivized testnet. During the Beta phase, Boundless functioned as a decentralized marketplace, connecting developers needing ZK proofs with independent provers (ZK miners). Now, it's operational at scale, delivering verifiable compute across chains.

Proof of Verifiable Work: Incentivizing the Network

The launch introduces Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW), an incentive mechanism rewarding provers based on computation volume, speed, and complexity. This fueled strong community participation, driven by anticipation of $ZKC token rewards.

Key Integrations and Use Cases

Several key protocols are already integrating Boundless into their systems:

• Wormhole: Adding ZK verification to Ethereum consensus for more secure cross-chain transfers.
• BOB (Hybrid Bitcoin Rollup): Enabling EVM applications to interoperate with Bitcoin using proofs that inherit Bitcoin’s security.
• Lido: Securing validator exits with transparent proofs, enhancing trust and auditability.

Shiv Shankar, CEO of Boundless, emphasizes that developers on any chain can now access abundant zero-knowledge compute to build complex applications that scale across ecosystems without sacrificing decentralization.

KuCoin Lists Boundless (ZKC)

Global crypto exchange KuCoin has listed Boundless (ZKC), a universal zero-knowledge protocol designed to scale blockchains to internet-level capacity. This listing expands access to the ZKC token, further solidifying Boundless' role in blockchain scalability.

XDC Network Integrates Orochi’s zkDatabase

XDC Network has integrated Orochi Network’s zkDatabase to strengthen the verifiability, scalability, and compliance of tokenized RWAs across its blockchain ecosystem. This collaboration enables tokenized assets on XDC to be backed by tamper-proof, on-chain proofs.

The Future is Boundless

With Boundless Mainnet live and key integrations underway, the future of blockchain scalability and security looks brighter than ever. Zero-knowledge proofs are no longer a futuristic concept but a tangible reality, empowering developers to build more robust and scalable applications. So, buckle up, folks – the ZK revolution has officially begun, and it's gonna be a wild ride!
