Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Real mainnet-beta with marquee integrations (Wormhole, Lido, BOB) and a sizable prover set shows momentum, but token-dependent incentives and beta status make it unsafe as a sole proving dependency.
Next
Pilot Boundless only for non-critical off-chain proof workloads behind a fallback to self-hosted proving; track ZKC price, live prover count, and (when published) proof-volume metrics before any hard dependency.
