Risc Zero has announced the termination of its hosted proof service as of December 17, 2025, marking a significant step towards full decentralization for the Boundless network. This transition is part of a broader trend of improved market performance in the zero-knowledge (ZK) proof sector. The Boundless network will now depend on independent nodes for proof generation, utilizing Verifiable Workload Proof (PoVW) to incentivize provers based on computational contributions. This move is expected to enhance the network's efficiency and scalability. As the market capitalization of ZK projects continues to rise, Boundless remains committed to supporting multi-chain and application-agnostic use cases.
