04 Aug 2025Boundless integrations map: 20+ chains and protocols using the proving marketLists Boundless integrations across L2s, rollup-as-a-service providers, interop and Bitcoin projects including MegaETH, Anoma, Citrea, Union, Wormhole, Taiko, Linea and Base. Presents it as evidence of real traction for the proving market.MapZKL1/L2

01 Jul 2025RISC Zero spins out the Boundless foundation as a multi-zkVM home for ZKExplains the Boundless foundation split: RISC Zero keeps R&D while the foundation drives grants, RFPs and ecosystem growth, with a multi-zkVM approach instead of a walled garden. Cites 30+ teams shipping and a nearing TGE.BreakdownZKTooling

14 Nov 2024Taiko adds RISC Zero ZK proofs to its multi-proof based rollupTaiko moves from TEE-only proofs to a multi-proof setup adding RISC Zero R0 and Succinct SP1 alongside SGX, becoming the first based ZK rollup on Ethereum. Multi-proof hedges against bugs in any single proving system.ExplainerZKL1/L2

08 Jun 2024Execution layer innovation map: alt-VMs, parallel EVMs and zkEVMsLists the wave of new execution environments this cycle: blended EVM/SVM/Wasm, MoveVM chains, SVM L2s, zkEVMs, parallel EVM L1s and Linux-based VMs. Argues it broadens the app design space and lets millions of developers build in more performant or familiar languages.MapL1/L2
