Risc Zero’s 'Boundless' Incentivized Testnet Goes Live
2025-07-15 13:35:52
Main Idea
RISC Zero's 'Boundless' incentivized testnet has launched on Base, enabling developers to build and test zero-knowledge proofs with a decentralized network of ZK provers, rewarding participants with early allocations of the $ZKC token.
Key Points
1. Boundless is a decentralized zero-knowledge (ZK) compute marketplace powered by RISC Zero, now live on Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network.
2. Developers can use the testnet to build and test ZK proofs with a network of independent 'ZK provers or miners' who generate and verify proofs.
3. Participants can earn early allocations of the $ZKC token based on the volume, speed, and complexity of proofs generated.
4. The network uses a Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW) consensus mechanism, rewarding ZK miners for verifying proofs within a ZK Virtual Machine.
5. Boundless aims to enhance blockchain scalability by enabling secure, cross-chain computing without redundant tasks, improving efficiency.
Description
Boundless, the decentralized zero-knowledge (ZK) compute marketplace powered by RISC Zero, has launched its incentivized testnet (which it is calling “Mainnet Beta”) on Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network. With Boundless’ incentivized testnet, developers can build and test applications in an environment as if the protocol is in fully live format. The network has already landed early support from industry heavyweights like the Ethereum Foundation, Wormhole and EigenLayer. A decentralized ma...
