One thing I’ve noticed in crypto is how often scalability comes up as a problem. When networks get busy, transactions slow down, and fees rise. Zero-knowledge proofs offer a different way to handle this by verifying activity without every node repeating the same work.


I came across Boundless ($ZKC), built by the RISC Zero team in 2022, which aims to bring zero-knowledge power to all blockchains. It uses independent prover nodes to generate proofs for layer 1s, apps, and rollups, offloading heavy computation and verifying onchain. This shifts blockchains from duplicated execution to proof-based verification, improving scalability and interoperability.


With $ZKC now listed on Bitget, I’ll be watching how it develops compared to other ZK-focused projects. It’s an interesting protocol with a practical approach to blockchain scaling, and anyone curious can explore more about the project
