Universal Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Infrastructure Identified as Boundless (ZKC)
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, a new player has emerged, promising to revolutionise blockchain scalability - ZKC. Built by the RISC Zero team, Boundless ZKC is making waves as a universal proving layer, offering a shared engine that helps different networks run faster, cheaper, and with more security.
Boundless distinguishes itself from zkSync or StarkNet by serving many chains and applications at once, rather than building its own ZK rollups. This universal approach makes it interoperable, seamlessly connecting with big ecosystems like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and future rollups.
At its core, Boundless operates on a system called Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW), rewarding provers only when they deliver useful work. The ZKC token powers this network, with provers staking it as collateral, earning rewards through PoVW, participating in governance, and benefiting from protocol staking rewards.
The ZKC token is not just a reward token; it fuels the network. Binance launched a HODLer Airdrop program, distributing 15 million ZKC tokens to users who were holding BNB during a snapshot in early September 2025, giving loyal BNB holders early exposure to the project.
ZKC went live on Binance on September 2025, with trading pairs including ZKC/USDT, ZKC/USDC, ZKC/BNB, ZKC/FDUSD, ZKC/TRY. The genesis supply of ZKC tokens was 1 billion, but it does not have a fixed maximum supply. The circulating supply at launch was approximately 200.9 million tokens.
The ZKC Token Sale took place on Capital Launchpad from August 25 to September 1, 2025, with a price of $0.29 per ZKC and 13,793,103 tokens sold, raising $4M. The Launchpool event occurred on Gate Launchpad from September 15 to 18, 2025, distributing ZKC tokens for free via farming/staking and allocating 0.01% of the total supply.
The founder of the Boundless project is Kaito, who publicly apologised for complications related to the initial distribution of Boundless ZKC tokens. The ZKC token allocation includes an Ecosystem Fund, Core Team & Early Contributors, Investors, Strategic Growth Fund, and other allocations.
As ZKC gains attention and becomes more widely traded, it could play a key role in how blockchain scales in the future. With its unique approach to proving layers and its universal compatibility, Boundless ZKC is poised to make a significant impact in the crypto space.
