Summary

• Boundless now provides OP-stack rollups with access to fast finality.
• It introduced the first non-interactive dispute game enabled by ZK proofs
• Rollups can switch between ZK Fault Proofs and Validity Proofs using a single set of smart contracts.
• Built on the Boundless Network, rollups gain access to 400T cycles/day of proving capacity at a median cost of <$0.04 per billion cycles.
• Boundless can prove Base for $730K/Year (50T cycles/day) and BOB for $21.5K/year (1.5T/day) — with clear improvements in the pipeline that will drastically reduce costs more.
• Rollups like BOB, SOON, and MegaETH are already using Boundless on mainnet.

Rollups have brought scalability to Ethereum and beyond. They’ve proven that offloading execution from Ethereum works, and how user experience can improve without throwing away decentralization. But as more chains launch and the value secured by rollups grows, one question keeps returning: what secures the rollups themselves?

For years, optimistic rollups have relied on the same assumption. State proposals are considered valid unless proven otherwise. It’s an elegant model, but it comes with trade-offs: the 7-day challenge window, complex dispute games that increase attack surface, and significant capital requirements. This model slows liquidity, increases counterparty risk, and forces users through less decentralized bridging alternatives to move funds faster.

As the ecosystem matures, it’s clear the next evolution isn’t to abandon optimistic rollups, it’s about upgrading them.

Boundless for Rollups

Boundless for Rollups gives OP chains a direct path to faster finality and Stage 2 readiness.

It’s a direct upgrade to the optimistic model, replacing interactive dispute games with ZK proofs, the first system of its kind deployed for OP chains.
