Read on Substack ↗

Summary

Traces RISC Zero’s zkVM approach and how Boundless turns proof generation into an open, competitive marketplace.

Why it matters

Key ideas

01

General-purpose zkVMs trade some efficiency for developer accessibility.

02

Boundless frames proving as a competitive, priced marketplace.

03

Open proof markets could commoditize verifiable compute over time.
