Boundless Expands 4,000-GPU Network From ZK Proving to AI Inference

According to The Block, on July 14, Boundless expanded its approximately 4,000-unit GPU network from providing zero-knowledge proving (ZK proving) for blockchain networks like Ethereum and Base to supporting AI inference workloads. The company has optimized hardware, task scheduling, and routing, and plans to require AI operators to stake its native token ZKC to participate, with staking amounts linked to revenue caps.

Boundless said its asynchronous inference costs could be up to 50% lower than major cloud service providers by leveraging consumer-grade GPUs and existing hardware from mining and proving operations.
