ZKC powers verifiable computation across all blockchain ecosystems through its collateral model. Universal Collateral Model The Boundless proving infrastructure is designed to power not just the blockchains themselves, but all dapps on those chains as well. Providing the entire stack with abundant verifiable compute. ZKC functions as collateral that provers must stake proportional to their proving capacity. Proof requestors pay in native tokens (ETH, SOL, USDC) while provers stake ZKC on the other side of the marketplace. More proving = more ZKC locked = reduced circulating supply. Proof of Verifiable Work Economics Provers earn both the network's native payment token AND ZKC emissions (75% of protocol rewards). This dual reward system makes Boundless proving cheaper than running individual provers, creating competitive economics that attract more capacity. Ecosystem Flywheel New blockchain integrations → increased proof demand → more ZKC staked as collateral → reduced supply → higher demand pressure. Each new ecosystem scales this effect. Scale & Security Over 3,000 proving clusters have completed requests, with top clusters scaling to 10+ GPUs each. ZKC collateral secures the entire stack: L1s, L2s, and dapps across all integrated ecosystems. The larger the ecosystems onboarded, the more ZKC gets locked. Value scales with aggregate blockchain value protected, not just transaction volume.
