Many people feel disgusted when ZK is mentioned, as the projects related to ZK have tarnished its reputation!
In reality,
✅ ZK stands for Zero-Knowledge Proof.
Imagine you go to a bar, and the security at the entrance asks you to show your ID to prove you are over 18. But you don’t want to reveal your name, address, or ID number. ZK is a mathematical tool that allows you to say: I am over 18, I can prove it, but I won’t tell you who I am.
Boundless @boundless_xyz is the team that has packaged this capability. It is not a new wallet, not a chain, and not a product that everyone can directly interact with. It builds the foundational ZKP infrastructure, transforming the incomprehensible and unusable ZK technology into a "state proof module" that every project can integrate.
Many people say Boundless is a ZK project; a more accurate description is: ZKP is the electricity of cryptography, and Boundless is the manufacturer of sockets, remote controls, and converters, enabling developers to utilize ZK capabilities with just a few lines of code.
For example, OG users can mint directly based on their interaction history, users can vote without exposing their wallet addresses, and project teams can identify cross-chain behavior and determine eligibility with one click, without repeated interactions. This is the "ZK for Human" toolkit provided by Boundless.
The familiar soon has already integrated Boundless technology, completing on-chain identity verification with minimal user awareness. The value of such applications will be increasingly recognized by more projects in the future.
ZK is complex mathematics, and Boundless is the tool that translates that math into modules, making it easy for developers to connect and for users to use smoothly.
If zkSync and Starknet are building ZK highways, then Boundless is issuing the passes. A proof that doesn’t require household registration, doesn’t expose privacy, and allows passage everywhere.

The market always operates 70% of the time in a boring manner to wear down the quick-rich mindset of impulsive investors.
Currently, we are in a period where most people are feeling discouraged and no longer care about Altcoins or the market?
Have you given up yet? Or are you still holding on until the end?
The market is boring, watching a camera from 1945 and how it was constructed, my friends 😁😁.

ZK is still a VC-heavy playground.
Some projects look too good to be true.
But beneath the hype, a new wave of ZK infra is quietly gaining traction.
If you're early to these, you won't need to chase the next alt season. 🧵

Is it rare to have a day when none of the popular coins are in the red?
A 1-2% gain is better than being in the red, my friends 😄.

ZKsync is a Layer-2 zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup designed to scale the Ethereum network and reduce the cost of transacting on the blockchain. ZK rollup, which underpins the platform, is a trustless protocol that allows validators to confirm a transaction's authenticity without revealing any information about the transaction. As a result, the protocol preserves user privacy and security on the network while supporting faster and cheaper transaction processing.
Built by Matter Labs, ZKsync is the first zkEVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) chain. It's designed to "look and feel like Ethereum," according to the project team, to help simplify adoption. Meanwhile, just like Ethereum, smart contracts are written using the Solidity and Vyper smart contract languages, and can be called via the same clients as other EVM-compatible chains.
How does ZKsync work?
ZKsync adopts ZK technology, a cryptographic method used to confirm the proof of a statement while obscuring any information about the statement itself. Think of the technology like an identity card that confirms you're an adult without revealing your actual age, name, or any other personal details.
ZK rollups help to improve the scalability of the Ethereum blockchain by performing computation and state offchain. The solution bundles transactions together at Layer-2 before they're posted on Layer-1. This method allows users to benefit from all the security advantages of Ethereum's base network but with higher throughput and lower fees.
ZKsync is compatible with EVM, and almost every smart contract written for EVM will be supported by the platform. That means most projects can be migrated over to the network with little to no modification.
Why is ZKsync significant?
ZKsync helps to address one of the most pressing limitations of the Ethereum network — scalability. Ethereum's relatively limited transaction throughput can lead to network congestion during periods of high demand, an issue that's only compounded as more users adopt the network. Meanwhile, congestion can lead to high gas fees, making transactions and interactions with decentralized applications costly. High latency is another challenge impacting the network's performance, as transactions are typically confirmed in a relatively slow 13 to 15 seconds.
ZKsync's use of ZK technology helps to ease these limitations while providing a platform that retains Ethereum's robust security and familiar usability. In theory, this should incentivize more developers to adopt Ethereum, strengthening the network's appeal at a time when competing solutions continue to launch.
ZK price and tokenomics
The ZK token has a total circulating supply of 21 billion. In June 2024, an airdrop was completed to distribute 17.5% of the token's supply to the project's community. Of the approximately 3.6 billion tokens reportedly airdropped to 695,232 wallets, 89% went to those who'd transacted on ZKsync — although the exact criteria wasn't announced — with 11% going to ecosystem contributors. This included ZKsync native projects, onchain communities, and builders. Meanwhile, 49.1% of the ZK supply will reportedly be distributed through "ecosystem initiatives", while 17.2% will go to investors and 16.1% will be allocated to Matter Labs members.
Due to a lack of liquidity, no ZK price was available as of the June 2024 ZK token airdrop. However, based on existing pre-launch futures available on Aevo, ZK perpetuals look to be trading at about $0.22.
About the ZKsync founders
ZKsync was developed by Berlin-based blockchain developer Matter Labs. The company was founded in 2018 by Alex Gluchowski and Alex Vlasov, and first deployed ZKsync to a closed testnet in December 2021. The platform was made publicly available on the mainnet on March 24, 2023.
The Matter Labs team, comprised of engineers, researchers, and technical experts, has made clear its focus on redrawing the limits of blockchain scalability through zk technology and open source developments. The organization is working towards the mainstream arrival of public blockchains, and is backed by numerous major players in the space, including the Ethereum Foundation.
