@Boundless _network is the universal ZK protocol that lets independent prover nodes generate zero‑knowledge proofs for chains, rollups, apps, or infrastructure—essentially offloading computation off-chain while verifying on-chain. ([Boundless][1])
Its native token **$ZKC** powers the system: provers must lock it as collateral to accept proof tasks (failing that can lead to slashing), stakers earn rewards, and holders can vote on governance proposals. ([docs.boundless.network][2])
#Boundless launched mainnet in mid‑2025, adopting a “Proof of Verifiable Work” model that links token issuance to real proving work, scaling as more chains adopt it. ([cryptonews.net][3])
