INTRODUCING THE BOUNDLESS PROTOCOL

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Boundless Protocol, built by the RISC Zero team, is a decentralized marketplace that treats ZK-powered verifiable compute as a tradeable commodity across all blockchains, matching provers and requestors via auctions in a spot market. It introduces Proof of Verifiable Work, a primitive that meters and rewards proof generation and financializes compute through a tokenized market with price discovery, hedging, and a native ZKC token rewarding provers based on cycles proven. Deploys on each chain inherit that chain's security and liveness, while Boundless nodes provide horizontal scaling by aggregating abundant compute resources.
