Boundless: Ethereum's Native Rollup modular execution layer

Reasons to participate

Boundless can be defined as "Ethereum's native modular execution layer," a positioning that implies a paradigm shift in blockchain architecture. Just as cloud computing decomposes data centers into different layers, Boundless is breaking down ZK proofs into pluggable components:

• ZK mining market: Borrowing the competition mechanism from Bitcoin PoW, but replacing hash collisions with proof generation to eliminate energy waste;

• Verification as a service: Like AWS Lambda abstracts server management, developers no longer need to build their own verification nodes;

• Cross-chain execution layer: Similar to how the HTTP protocol unifies internet communication, Boundless becomes a shared ZK coprocessor for multiple chains.

Currently, over 30 teams plan to build and deploy applications on Boundless.

Regarding funding, Boundless is a project under RISC Zero, which has raised $54 million to date.

On July 16, Boundless announced on platform X that the Mainnet Beta is now live. Completing related tasks can earn you a whitelist for Boundless token sales and additional token rewards. Tasks are divided into four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. Currently, Bronze and Silver tasks have been unlocked.Additionally, it's worth mentioning that the final mainnet will be launched after the Mainnet Beta.
