Today marks a milestone in verifiable computing. Boundless mainnet beta is officially live, starting on Base, as the first permissionless marketplace where provers from around the world compete to generate zero-knowledge proofs.
Connect your hardware, set your strategy, and start proving. After mainnet beta, 5 M ZKC (0.5 % of total supply) will be distributed retroactively to provers in proportion to their performance. The incentivized proving competition will run for approximately 5 weeks.
The infrastructure is live. The demand is real. The race starts now.
The marketplace operates through competitive auctions. Your share of the token pool depends on three performance metrics and the following formula:
Scoring Formula:
Score = (Total Cycles) × (Success Rate Multiplier) × (Max Effective HZ Multiplier))
