Boundless (RISC Zero)

RISC Zero is a crypto startup that is dedicated to developing a scalable and developer-friendly blockchain infrastructure using zero-knowledge proofs. Boundless is a verifiable compute layer built by RISC Zero, aiming to bring zero-knowledge (ZK) capabilities to every blockchain. Boundless is a universal ZK protocol that introduces verifiable compute across all blockchain ecosystems. It enables developers to offload heavy computation via zero-knowledge proofs, allowing any chain to validate outcomes without re-execution—unlocking scalable, efficient, and interoperable applications. Boundless features a decentralized prover marketplace, supports extensions like Steel (Solidity offloading for gas savings) and Kailua (fast finality), and launched its Mainnet Beta on Base, offering real deposits, proofs, and rewards.

Boundless Networks, Inc.

Boundless Networks, Inc. builds technology that coordinates distributed GPU supply, routes demanding compute jobs, and turns underutilized GPUs into reliable AI infrastructure. Its current focus is AI inference, with early access available to teams serving open models, training, and running evaluations; the company states that select AI startups are already using its services in production. Boundless originated in zero-knowledge proving and continues to support related developer and protocol resources, while clarifying that the decentralized Boundless protocol is open-source, third-party software stewarded by the Boundless Foundation rather than owned or operated by Boundless Networks.
