ME News message, December 17 (UTC+8), Risc Zero recently announced the shutdown of its official custodial proof service, and the Boundless network has simultaneously entered a fully decentralized new phase, marking a complete shift towards an open, decentralized market driven by the general ZK proof market. Risc Zero previously offered zero-knowledge proofs officially, helping developers access zero-knowledge computing capabilities without the need to build their own hardware. As the Boundless network's functionality and verification capabilities gradually mature, proof requests will now be processed by independent nodes within the Boundless network, aligning the proof mechanism with the characteristics of blockchain built on elasticity and neutrality. Boundless: A fully decentralized open proof market. Boundless is designed as a general ZK proof market for multiple chains and applications, enabling any chain or application to leverage Boundless for zero-knowledge proofs to enhance scalability and interoperability. The network employs mechanisms such as 'provable work commitment' (PoVW) to reward based on the actual computational workload of the Prover. This creates a competitive environment that incentivizes provers to generate proofs faster and at a lower cost, benefiting all chains equipped with efficient and user-friendly zero-knowledge proofs.
