[Risc Zero recently announced the shutdown of its official hosted proof service, and the Boundless network has entered a fully decentralized new phase] BlockBeats news, December 17, Risc Zero recently announced the shutdown of its official hosted proof service, and the Boundless network has simultaneously entered a fully decentralized new phase, marking the complete opening and decentralization of this general-purpose ZK proof market, driven by a decentralized market. Risc Zero previously provided official zero-knowledge proofs to help developers access zero-knowledge computing capabilities without the need to build their own hardware. As the functionality and verification capabilities of the Boundless network gradually mature, proof requests will now be handled by independent nodes within the Boundless network, aligning the proof mechanism with the blockchain characteristics built on resilience and neutrality. Boundless: Fully decentralized open proof market Boundless is designed as a general-purpose ZK proof market for multi-chain and application scenarios, enabling any chain or application to leverage Boundless for zero-knowledge proofs to enhance scalability and interoperability. The network adopts mechanisms such as "Proof of Verifiable Work" (PoVW), rewarding Provers based on their actual computational workload. This creates a competitive environment that incentivizes Provers to generate proofs faster and at lower costs, benefiting all chains equipped with efficient and user-friendly zero-knowledge proofs.
