Privacy infrastructure project Boundless has officially launched its first network-wide upgrade, Surge. According to Foresight News, this upgrade is not merely an update to the Prover nodes but aims to optimize the performance and costs across the entire network. Key highlights of the upgrade include a 25% increase in proof capacity, a reduction in proof costs by up to 50% for various workloads, and a significant decrease in Prover RPC costs by up to 99%. Additionally, Boundless now supports multi-chain proofs, initially integrating with Taiko and Base.

The open market mechanism of Boundless ensures that the improvements in performance and cost reductions on the supply side are directly passed on to the demand side. All proof requestors will benefit from enhanced performance and lower-priced proof services.
