Today, let me analyze for everyone how to understand Boundless at a glance, allowing blockchain to be equipped with super chips. This dark horse in the ZK track is set to rewrite the game rules.
When playing Web3 blockchain games, the frustrating issues of lagging operations and high gas fees are being addressed by Boundless using zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology. It is the first open ZK computing self-service marketplace: developers submit complex computing demands, miners compete to generate ZK proofs with GPUs, and the results can be synchronized to Ethereum, Solana, and any chain for verification, achieving speed and cost-effectiveness, creating a 'win-win' for developers and miners.
Moreover, the results from the August testnet have exceeded industry expectations: 348,000 participants, 1,100 node miners, 8,800 verifications, and a voluntary donation of 214.26 ETH; technically, the scale of a single proof has increased from 3B to 50B (10 times), external miners set a new record of 23MHz (previous industry maximum was 2.5MHz), and 1,125 provers (nodes) far exceed the 3 in the similar project Succinct, also achieving 'proof of Ethereum full consensus', significantly enhancing data verification efficiency.
With many ZK projects, Boundless's core competitiveness lies in addressing the industry's 'real demand': developers no longer need to write complex circuits or build prover frameworks, and miners have dual income from order service fees and native token rewards; for the entire blockchain ecosystem, it acts like a 'super external chip', all L1 and L2 chains do not need to change code or consensus, and can gain ZK security and high computing power upon integration.
In September, Boundless has made significant moves: mainnet launch, TGE initiation, with similar projects like Succinct currently valued at 1 billion USD. It was last valued at 350 million USD in 2022, and its token currently has a market value of 800 million USD, still having considerable room for growth; backed by top institutions like Blockchain Capital, leading miners (like Bitmain), and top-tier ZK teams, its application scenarios cover Rollups, DePIN, blockchain games, zkML (AI on chain), and as long as there is a need for 'efficient, trustworthy, low-cost' computing in blockchain, it can play a role.
