Boundless : Scaling Blockchains with Zero-Knowledge Compute

Boundless is positioned as a universal zero-knowledge (ZK) protocol designed to dramatically scale trusted computing across any blockchain. At its core, it operates as a decentralized marketplace for verifiable computations, leveraging Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to offload complex work from main chains.

This innovative approach tackles the persistent issues of high gas fees and slow throughput by creating a competitive environment for 'Provers.' Developers request ZK proofs for applications, rollups, or infrastructure, and Provers (operators of GPU/hardware) compete to generate them, earning rewards.

The native token is the network's engine, serving multiple utilities: it's staked as collateral by Provers, used to pay for compute requests, and grants holders governance rights. By decoupling execution from consensus, Boundless aims to provide an elastic, on-demand compute layer for the entire Web3 ecosystem, fundamentally changing how scalability is achieved. This focus on verifiable compute as a service is what makes a key player in the next generation of blockchain infrastructure.
