ZKC / Boundless is an infrastructure-play in the crypto space — aiming at one of the harder, but potentially high-value, problems (scalable verifiable computation across chains). The token utility is reasonably well defined (staking, collateral, rewards, governance). The tokenomics are decent (transparent allocation, inflation model tied to usage) though the inflation aspect is a caveat.
If you believe in:
the growth of ZK proof infrastructure,
the need for independent prover markets,
multi-chain interoperability demand for verifiable compute,
then this is a potentially interesting spec. On the flip side, it’s higher risk — partly because adoption & usage need to realize, partly because of market dynamics (new listing, unlocks, inflation).
If I were to grade it: High risk / high reward — worthy of a smaller, speculative allocation if you’re comfortable with volatility, but I wouldn’t treat it as a sure “safer” bet.
ZKC was listed on major exchange(s) (e.g. Binance) around September 15, 2025.
The token drop / airdrop event: 15 million ZKC (1.5% of genesis supply) was allocated for a Binance “HODLer Airdrop” program.
Immediately after listing there was significant volatility: one report says ZKC fell ~50% in 24h after mainnet launch/airdrop due to heavy selling pressure from airdrop recipients.
The project is part of the broader “zero-knowledge proof infrastructure” theme — which is an area of high interest given blockchain scalability & privacy trends.
