Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

Boundless is a decentralized proof-generation network in which independent provers compete to execute zero-knowledge workloads submitted by applications and return succinct proofs that any client or chain can check. It separates proving capacity from the applications consuming it, so a program written for a zero-knowledge virtual machine can be proved on third-party hardware rather than by the requester.
