#boundless $ZKC

Overview & utility: ZKC is designed as the infrastructure token for Boundless’s “proof marketplace” in which nodes (“provers”) stake ZKC as collateral to generate zero‑knowledge proofs for blockchains, apps and roll‑ups. Beyond staking, ZKC also supports governance, network fees and reward/penalty mechanisms.

Tokenomics & risks: Total supply is about 1 billion tokens. Circulating supply at listing was ~200.9 m (~20 %) of total. Inflation begins at ~7% in year one, tapering to ~3% by year eight. Key risks include modest initial adoption of the proof marketplace, lock‑up/vesting‑related sell pressure (team/investor allocations are large) and execution of the decentralized prover network.

Outlook: If demand for verifiable compute grows strongly and the network secures major proofs/jobs, ZKC’s utility could rise. But in a crowded zk‑infrastructure space and with adoption still early, it remains speculative for now. @Boundless
