介绍 ZK Coin

什么是 Boundless?

Boundless 是一套通用协议,旨在为每条区块链提供零知识(ZK)的能力。它使得独立的证明者节点能够代表一层(layer 1)、应用、rollup,以及跨所有链的基础设施生成零知识证明(ZK proofs)。

通过将计算卸载到 Boundless 网络并在链上验证证明,Boundless 提供了一致的可扩展性和互操作层,而无需对现有网络进行更改。其容量可横向扩展,新增节点即可直接提高吞吐量,使 Boundless 成为整个区块链生态系统中零知识证明的基础层。

什么是 ZK Coin?

ZK Coin,或称 “ZKC”,是 Boundless 协议的原生代币。在其底层机制中,每一个证明都由 ZKC 来保障:证明者在开始计算单个循环之前,必须质押 ZKC 作为抵押品。随着更多协议接入 Boundless,越来越多的 ZKC 将被锁定在它们的证明背后。从本质上讲,ZKC 是所有零知识证明的支柱。

在 Boundless 上,开发者使用其各自协议的原生代币来支付证明费用;例如,在以太坊上用 ETH,在 Solana 上用 SOL,或使用 USDC 等稳定币。因此,Boundless 成为了每个生态系统的原生零知识基础设施。

可验证工作量证明(Proof of Verifiable Work,PoVW)

PoVW 是 Boundless 内的一项全新发明,它是一种无需许可的激励机制,使证明者能够通过其证明工作来“挖掘”ZKC。生成独特零知识证明的证明者会获得 ZKC 奖励。为了获得这些奖励,证明者必须质押一定数量的 ZKC,该数量会随着其在特定周期(epoch)内的总体证明工作规模而增加。

这一机制使证明者能够质押 ZKC 并从任何市场或网络中获取 PoVW 激励,从而将 ZKC 的用途扩展到 Boundless 市场之外。其结果是一个清晰的循环:更多的证明会带来更多的 ZKC 被质押,而运营者为了争夺更大份额的 PoVW 奖励,将持续面临提升性能的压力。

ZK Coin 如何驱动 Boundless 协议

证明抵押(Proving Collateral)

在接受证明请求之前,证明者必须质押 ZKC 作为抵押品,通常至少为该请求最高费用的 10 倍。如果证明未能按时提交,质押会被惩罚削减:其中 50% 被永久销毁,另外 50% 会在链上被重新分配,作为悬赏奖励给其他完成该工作的证明者。该抵押机制为证明交付提供了更强的经济保障。

与此同时,随着请求数量的增长,被锁定的 ZKC 总量会按大约 10 倍的倍数增加,从而减少流通供应。

协议质押(Protocol Staking)

质押 ZKC 是参与 Boundless 的第一步。网络上的一切行动都从这里开始。通过质押,参与者可以:

  • 在运行证明者时获取可验证工作量证明(PoVW)奖励
  • 参与协议治理,共同塑造 Boundless 的未来

在实践中,质押既创造了承诺,也提升了容量。它确保证明者在网络中“有利益相关”,激励节点保持在线,并使代币持有者无论是否主动参与证明,都能在引导协议方向上发挥作用。鉴于这些角色在网络中的重要性,所有协议质押者都能获得周期(epoch)奖励的 25% 基础份额。

挖矿奖励(Mining Rewards)

证明者节点是 Boundless 协议的支柱。它们通过可验证工作量证明(PoVW)获得每个周期 75% 的代币发行量。这使代币发行与有用的工作直接对齐,并激励更快速、更高效的证明生成。

驱动治理(Powering Governance)

ZKC 持有者可以通过质押其代币参与协议治理。这包括对市场机制、ZK Coin、zkVM 增加、资助计划以及其他升级的控制。随着 Boundless 治理的上线,代币持有者将拥有否决权,并最终能够提议对 Boundless 的代币经济模型和架构进行升级。Boundless 将采用行业最佳实践,即基于时间的投票权,这一机制已被 Curve 等协议广泛采用。

ZK Coin 初始分配(Initial ZK Coin Allocation)

ZKC 分配

ZK Coin 的初始供应量为 10 亿枚代币,分配如下:

生态系统增长(Ecosystem Growth,49%)

大部分 ZKC 将分配给战略性举措,以推动零知识证明(ZK proofs)的主流采用。该资金池由两部分组成:

31% 生态系统基金(Ecosystem Fund): 由 Boundless 基金会持有。这部分代币中有 25% 会在 1 年锁定期(cliff)后解锁,其余 75% 将在接下来的 24 个月内以等额月度分期方式释放,至第 3 年末完全解锁。

资助将聚焦三个方向:

  • 可验证应用(Verifiable applications)
  • 提供资助、费用补贴和实践支持,帮助早期团队接入 Boundless 并交付基于证明的应用。
  • 协议集成与开发者工具(Protocol integration & developer tooling)
  • 为第三方开发者提供资金,支持其创建工具、抽象层和教育资源,从而让 Boundless 更易被采用。
  • 协议维护与基础设施开发(Protocol maintenance and infrastructure development)
  • 与证明者合作,降低市场中证明能力的波动性,并为开发者提供高水平服务。

18% 战略增长基金(Strategic Growth Fund): 专注于企业级集成、业务拓展,以及机构级证明者的接入。代币将在 12 个月内逐步解锁,且与可衡量的里程碑挂钩,如签署企业合作伙伴关系和建立新的证明集群。

总体而言,这些资金将确保 Boundless 在各个层面支持增长。它们既赋能基层开发者交付基于证明的应用,又推动机构级集成,为生态系统带来规模和成熟度。通过兼顾早期创新与企业采用,Boundless 将稳步提升整个协议对证明的需求。

核心团队与早期贡献者(Core Team & Early Contributors,23.5%)

总供应量的 20% 分配给核心开发团队和早期贡献者,他们将 Boundless 从概念阶段带到主网。额外的 3.5% 分配给最初孵化 Boundless 的公司 RISC Zero,用于资助未来的招聘和研究资助,旨在提升 zkVM 的性能。这部分代币中有 25% 会在 1 年锁定期(cliff)后解锁,其余 75% 将在接下来的 24 个月内以等额月度分期释放,至第 3 年末完全解锁。

社区代币销售与空投(Community Token Sale & Airdrop,约 6%)

为扩大 ZKC 的持有范围,约 6% 将分配给 Boundless 社区代币销售以及一次空投,以奖励早期贡献者,包括证明者和 kaito yappers。社区销售的代币将在 TGE(代币生成事件)时解锁 50%,剩余 50% 在六个月后解锁。空投代币将在 TGE 时 100% 解锁。

投资者(Investors,21.5%)

21.5% 分配给战略合作伙伴,他们在协议的形成阶段提供了资金、反馈、技术支持和行业资源。这部分代币中有 25% 会在 1 年锁定期后解锁,其余 75% 将在接下来的两年中以月度分期释放,至第 3 年末完全解锁。

通胀率(Inflation Rate)

与任何协议一样,ZK Coin 的分发会随着时间演变。证明者可能会出售奖励以覆盖运营成本,而质押者则通过帮助保障网络安全获得可预测的代币发行。按照算法,发行计划会逐步增加供应量,第一年为 7%,从第 8 年起逐步下降至 3%。

由于每个证明请求都必须质押 ZKC 作为抵押品,随着证明需求的增长,实际流通供应会收紧。结合因抵押品被削减而触发的销毁机制,这种动态机制将 ZKC 的分发直接与网络使用量挂钩,而不是保持固定或任意分配。

结论(Conclusion)

Boundless 是一套通用协议,为每条区块链提供零知识计算(ZK compute)能力。其核心是 ZK Coin:既可作为抵押质押,又可通过可验证工作获得,同时支撑网络交付的每一个证明。通过保障跨所有区块链的证明,ZK Coin 成为零知识证明在各处的支柱。

Standard Chartered Bank Places a 40x 'Bet', Calls for UNI to Rise to $100

Standard Chartered Bank’s digital asset research head, Geoff Kendrick, initiated coverage on Uniswap with a highly bullish long-term price target of $100 for its UNI token by 2030—a roughly 40-fold increase from its ~$2.60 trading price at the time of the report. The bank’s thesis hinges on the exponential growth of tokenized real-world assets (RWA), projected to surge from ~$340 billion to $4 trillion by 2028. It expects the share of these assets deployed in DeFi to rise from 3.5% to 30%, driving total DeFi TVL to around $2.7 trillion. As the leading decentralized exchange (DEX), Uniswap is positioned to capture a significant portion of this liquidity influx. A key catalyst is Uniswap’s “fee switch,” activated in late 2024, which directs a portion of protocol fees to UNI token buybacks and burns. This transforms UNI from a pure governance token into a yield-generating, deflationary asset, narrowing its valuation gap with centralized exchanges like Coinbase. The report draws an analogy: Coinbase operates like Netflix (centralized, high-cost), while Uniswap functions like YouTube (open, user-generated, network-effect driven). Despite its dominant market share and recent institutional adoption—such as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and Fidelity’s stablecoin using Uniswap for liquidity—the path faces challenges. Competition from Solana-based DEXs and aggregators threatens user mindshare, while regulatory delays or setbacks in RWA adoption could slow the projected growth. Furthermore, UNI remains down over 92% from its 2021 peak, reflecting persistent market skepticism. Ultimately, Standard Chartered’s report signals a shift in traditional finance’s perception of DeFi, valuing network effects and cash flow potential. However, realizing the $100 target depends on Uniswap successfully navigating intense competition, regulatory hurdles, and the multi-year timeline for massive tokenized asset adoption.

For Those Still Obsessed with Altcoins, Just Go All-in on HOOD

Title: "For Those Still Fixated on Altcoins, Just Bet on HOOD" The article argues that Robinhood (HOOD) stock is a compelling alternative for investors still holding onto hopes for altcoin rallies. It highlights HOOD's recent strong performance, briefly touching $100, and expresses continued optimism. The bullish thesis is multi-faceted: HOOD's operational data for May showed record highs in key metrics like total assets and funded customers, though crypto volume was weaker. Positive catalysts include Robinhood launching its own prediction market (Rothera) to capture more revenue, gaining approval to act as an IPO underwriter for major upcoming listings, and being selected to manage the new "Trump Account" government savings program for millions of future US newborns. Insider and institutional buying, along with raised price targets, provide further confidence. The core argument is that HOOD is successfully decoupling from the crypto market's fortunes. While crypto-related revenue was once a major contributor, its share of total revenue has been declining, hitting 13% in Q1 2026. Although HOOD's price historically moved with Bitcoin, a recent divergence is noted. The author posits that Robinhood's growing equity trading, prediction markets, and IPO-related businesses can drive growth independently of a crypto bull market. Thus, HOOD offers asymmetric exposure: it stands to benefit if the crypto market recovers but is no longer wholly dependent on it. For those disillusioned with altcoins' risks, HOOD presents a potentially safer way to maintain exposure to the fintech and speculative trading space.

For Those Still Obsessed with Altcoins, Just Buy HOOD

The author expresses bullish sentiment on Robinhood (HOOD) stock, citing multiple positive catalysts. Recent monthly operational data shows record highs in key metrics like total assets, funded customers, and margin balances. On the news front, Robinhood launched its own prediction market (Rothera), received approval to act as an IPO underwriter, and was selected to manage the new "Trump Accounts" for U.S. newborns, ensuring a long-term user base. Insiders and institutions are also buying or raising price targets. The core investment thesis, however, focuses on HOOD's evolving valuation narrative. Historically viewed as a "crypto proxy," its stock price was highly correlated with Bitcoin and its revenue heavily dependent on cryptocurrency trading fees. Recent data indicates this dependence is waning: crypto-related revenue hit a multi-quarter low of 13% of total revenue in Q1 2026, and the stock price has recently decoupled from BTC's trend. The author argues HOOD is transforming into a more diversified platform. Its growth is now driven by equities, options, prediction markets, and IPO-related services. This reduces its cyclical vulnerability to crypto bear markets. Crucially, if the crypto market recovers, HOOD would still benefit from increased trading activity. Therefore, for investors still hoping for gains from altcoins but concerned about their risks and liquidity, the author suggests HOOD offers a compelling alternative with higher safety margins—it can rise with a crypto bull run but isn't reliant on one.
