w/ @boundless_xyz is probably the most ambitious attempt I’ve seen to fix blockchain’s core bottleneck: computational scarcity.

Instead of every chain reinventing ZK infra or relying on centralized provers, Boundless offers a universal, decentralized ZK proving marketplace. 

Rollups, apps, even L1s can tap into this shared pool of provers and request proofs pay per proof, with built-in economic incentives.

What makes it stand out?

→ Open, permissionless reverse Dutch auctions where provers compete
→ Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW) provers get rewarded based on actual cycles proven, not idle staking
→ A global market dynamic that naturally drives proving costs down

To me, this unlocks two huge things for the space:

→ ZK scalability becomes a service, not a chain specific feature
→ Projects can build complex apps without worrying about infra or trust assumptions

I honestly think Boundless has a real shot at becoming the “ZK Layer” of the blockchain stack something every chain can plug into without giving up sovereignty.

For devs, for rollups, for anyone chasing verifiable compute this feels like the infra we’ve been waiting for.
