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.

Status as of the current dateline
AI-assisted assembly · derived results
As of 2026-09-30, verified readiness is 35 (claimed 55, reported 35, gap 20) — Strong evidence strength; current signals suggest Consider a limited proving integration after reviewing the exact contracts and operational requirements.
The readiness fact belongs to the canonical Readiness Verdict for Boundless (RISC Zero proving network).
