Boundless and Union Partner to Unlock Infinite Blockchain Scaling with ZK Tech

In a historical collaboration, Boundless and Union have launched a combined initiative to take blockchain scalability and interoperability to new levels.

Their partnership leverages the strength of the zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to interlink ecosystems in a trustless way and thereby open up a new chapter of verifiable computing and hassle-free cross-chain communication.

Boundless’s ZK Interop: The Final Form of Blockchain Connectivity

Boundless, the universal ZK protocol and habitat of berryfiable compute (@risczero), is partnering with Union, the expert in hyper-efficient interoperability. The objective they have on common ground is apparent: perpetual scaling of all blockchains and rollups.

During a recent post on X (an alternative to Twitter), Boundless announced, “Trustless interop is the end game of ecosystem connectivity.”

On the one hand, Boundless seeks to enable its infrastructure to utilize the knowledge base of Union with regard to ZK interoperability, as well as establish a heavy throughput with zero-cost in terms of decentralization and trust.

Union’s Vision: Connect Every Chain, Effortlessly

The partnership is also strong with interoperability capabilities offered by the union. As their profile describes, Union bridges all blockchains and rollups across any ecosystem.

Such extensive compatibility eradicates bottlenecked chains and creates an interconnected web of decentralized platforms in the truest sense of the word.

This is a mission that the team at Union has keenly focused on, tweeting, “When combined with zk interop and verifiable computing, Union and Boundless together will be bringing infinite scaling and connectivity to any ecosystem.”

The partnership focuses on an idea that ZK is not merely a technology, but also a game-changing strategy of the blockchain architecture.

Using ZK cryptography, Union and Boundless will make it possible to perform proof-based interactions between chains and be able to conduct proof-based messaging and interaction without having to implement elements of centralization (i.e., bridges) or wrapped tokens.

Why ZK Is the Endgame

Zero-knowledge is a scalability solution to Web3 that is finding popularity fast. They also enable participants to confirm data in a manner that does not disclose it, and this promotes privacy, security, and efficiency.

In interoperability, ZK tech can verify cross-chain communication without the need for a third-party validator.

Verifiable computing of Boundless and the ZK-based system of Union make a step in the right direction of establishing verifiably scalable decentralized systems. Their similar motto describes it all: ZK is the endgame.

A Future of Boundless Possibilities

As part of this strategic engagement, Boundless and Union indicate that they plan to transform the blockchain ecosystem, bridging siloed communities and minimizing friction, enabling cross-chain composable applications.

During this rollout of innovations, both developers and users can anticipate a more scalable, interconnected, and secure future of Web3.
