Sep 16, 2024, 06:53 PM

Risc Zero has introduced Boundless, a verifiable compute layer that promises unlimited execution, global composability, and on-demand scaling for developers on any blockchain. This new technology aims to enhance security by integrating blockchain technology with off-chain applications, expanding protection and ensuring a more secure environment for users. The initiative has garnered partnerships with several entities, including Spicenet, Citrea, and Nebra UPA, who are excited to leverage Boundless for their respective projects. The move is expected to break scalability barriers and reduce costs, making blockchain technology more accessible and efficient. Boundless utilizes ZK proofs, which are cheaper and faster, to achieve these goals.
