An external prover, one who I am not in contact with, has generated a 50B cycle proof of Ethereum consensus. For context this is 50x+ more work than proving an Ethereum block @boundless_xyz lets people spin up their own prover networks in under an hour using the most powerful distributed proving code on the market right now. Higher🍓

Ethereum is going to be proven for awhile, proud to be helping bring this public good to the @ethereum ecosystem and beyond

Great day to deploy more proofs

A top 5 prover on the @boundless_xyz market right now is a single person, renting 8 GPUs from a DC running some cool bidding strategies So much inefficiency, so much opportunity, feels like the early Bitcoin mining days Gberry🍓

I am blown away by the engineering team @RiscZero to set industry standards - RISC-V zkVM: The first general purpose zkVM - Continuations: Scalable memory argument for zkVMs - Zeth: First block prover for OP and type 0 zkEVM - Efficient distributed proving stack (Bonsai/Bento) - Kailua: Most sophisticated ZK fraud proofs on the market - Steel: A contract call library for easily building EVM co-processors - Boundless: The first open, fully decentralized market for zkps in production - The Signal: The first client to prove Ethereum finality Happy to be apart of a team pushing the industry forward with open source contributions.

Weekly example of why ZK is bigger than blockchains: Combating predatory pricing mechanisms A golden objective for many companies is personalized pricing, charging each customer exactly what they’re willing to pay. One insidious variant is surveillance pricing, where businesses mine the vast troves of personal data they collect to exploit you. Take Delta Airlines, for example. On a recent earnings call, they announced plans to increase personalized pricing. Now imagine a scenario where they scan your email, see you’re flying home for a family funeral, and raise prices accordingly, because they know you’ll pay. Or a food delivery app ups your cost due to an allergy, knowing you have fewer alternatives. These practices evolve far faster than governments can regulate. But what if there were a technology that made this kind of exploitation much harder? That’s why ZK (zero-knowledge) is bigger than blockchains. It’s not just about standard privacy, it’s can extend to consumer protection. ZK tech can fragment and shield sensitive data, ensuring companies can’t use it against you while still allowing useful services to operate. Think bigger, be @boundless_xyz

Non-ZK people are excited about ZK, Higher 🍓

0xb78 just climbed to the top of the leaderboard, who’s going to claim #1 next?

0xb78 just climbed to the top of the leaderboard, who’s going to climb to the top next?

Four days into our incentivized mainnet, the leading provers are individuals we’ve never met. They deployed sizable GPU clusters without any direct contact and quickly rose to the top of the leaderboard. This is the essence of @boundless_xyz: a truly permissionless proof market. It’s not only that anyone can participate—anyone with the skill and resources can become the top prover. Who will take the lead next?
