Boundless is a decentralized computing market based on zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, aiming to offload complex computing tasks to off-chain processing and ensure the correctness of computations by generating zero-knowledge proofs, thereby providing verifiable computing power for blockchain networks. The table below summarizes its core features and market application directions:

Dimension Core Features / Application Directions Key Explanation

Technical Architecture Verifiable Compute Layer Uses ZK proofs as a tradable computing power commodity, connecting computing demanders and proof providers through market mechanisms.

Decentralized Proof Market Utilizes reverse Dutch auctions, where demanders post tasks, provers bid, and the proof is ultimately generated by the lowest bidder.

Innovative Consensus Mechanism (PoVW) Distributes rewards based on the valid computational contributions of participants, achieving a "more work, more reward" system to encourage network participation.

Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (The Signal) Validates the source chain state through ZK proofs, achieving trust-minimized cross-chain communication to enhance security.

Market Positioning and Potential Blockchain Scalability and Interoperability Provides outsourced computing for Rollups (such as the Kailua solution) and L1 blockchains, reducing on-chain burden. Supported by organizations like the Ethereum Foundation, Base, Wormhole, EigenLayer, and others.

Co-Processor (Steel) Allows DApps to move complex computations off the main chain, generating proofs and returning to the chain for verification, significantly reducing Gas costs.

AI and Data Auditing Provides verifiability for AI model inference results, enhancing transparency and credibility, known as "Verifiable Intelligence."

Traditional Finance and Compliance (RWA) Provides immutable and verifiable computational proofs for audits, compliance, and real-world assets (RWA) on-chain. @Boundless #boundless_notwork $ZKC
