<p><strong>November 6, 2024  -</strong> The blockchain industry marks a significant milestone today as <strong>The ZkBoost Consortium </strong>officially launches. Comprising 39 of the leading blockchain companies with a collective fully diluted valuation exceeding $21 billion, this consortium is set to redefine the landscape of zero-knowledge (ZK) technology.</p><p>The consortium introduces the ZkBoost API, a pivotal development for decentralization born from Gevulot’s industry-wide Request for Proposal (RFP) aimed at abstracting the proof supply chain. This initiative establishes a credibly neutral hub-and-spoke model, serving as a generic unification layer for outsourced zero-knowledge computations, streamlining and consolidating the ZK sector.</p><h3 id="founding-members">Founding Members:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://aleo.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Aleo</a>, Alchemy,<a href="https://alignedlayer.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Aligned</a>,<a href="https://www.ankr.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Ankr</a>,<a href="https://aztec.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Aztec</a>,<a href="https://cysic.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Cysic</a>,<a href="https://eigen.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Eigen Network</a>, <a href="https://electronlabs.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Electron Labs</a>,<a href="https://www.fermatlayer.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Fermah</a>, <a href="https://www.gevulot.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gevulot</a>, <a href="https://x.com/gwyneth_taiko" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gwyneth</a>, <a href="https://crosschain-alliance.gitbook.io/hashi" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hashi</a>, <a href="https://www.helixlabs.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Helix Labs</a><a href="https://www.hyle.eu/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">, Hylé</a>, Ingonyama, <a href="https://www.kakarot.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kakarot</a>,<a href="https://linea.build/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Linea</a>, <a href="https://lumia.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lumia</a>,<a href="https://lumoz.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Lumoz</a>,<a href="https://www.marlin.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Marlin</a>, <a href="https://nexus.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nexus</a>,<a href="https://nil.foundation/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> &#61;nil; Foundation</a>, NovaNet, <a href="https://pi2.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Pi Squared,</a> <a href="https://risczero.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RISC Zero</a>,<a href="https://www.theradius.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Radius</a>, <a href="https://satori.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Satori</a>, <a href="https://scroll.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Scroll</a>, <a href="https://starkware.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">StarkWare</a>, <a href="https://succinct.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Succinct</a>,<a href="https://taiko.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Taiko</a>, <a href="https://therollup.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Rollup Co</a>, <a href="https://zeko.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Zeko</a>, <a href="https://zerocomputing.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Zero Computing</a>, <a href="https://www.zircuit.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Zircuit</a>,<a href="https://zksync.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> ZKsync</a>, <a href="https://zkverify.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">zkVerify</a>, <a href="https://www.zkrush.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">zkRush</a>, and <a href="https://www.o1labs.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">o1labs</a>.</li></ul><p><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdlTWujgNRs4IDvw8RfRLju7q5S5dK61CenruLULXFEvMvyPCYCBYIChYOJUbv__gJYSKwxRs7nurmiVtEUhp-VqvMM9TvyRawB1ohAV6ABvtI_q5KFdKxnqWl3g--3V8ijXPBp1we1dJODmGTgp2fRZKi2?key&#61;_qqW4oxP8rJIJ7fBVMllnQ" /></p><h3 id="what-is-zkboost">What is ZkBoost?</h3><ul><li>United Connectivity: ZkBoost acts like a universal adapter, connecting various sources of proof demand such as Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, co-processors, ZKML, ZK-bridges, and more with ZK proving services.</li><li>Universal Integration: It provides a standardized API that simplifies the integration process, making it easier for proving demand generators to ensure ongoing compatibility with proving options.</li><li>Unlimited Accessibility: By providing a unified interface to all proving services, ZkBoost streamlines the process of finding the optimal proving provider.</li></ul><p><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeuQsFkUNu-kRnWnxjf-V4lj_uknh6nbRJDHzNWLuDcket5_kVnTiDba7hQqhi_RosEf2NOO5Rw3mkKF6wOhubFxhOSB6usgka4jZxQtiV6bkqd062Ot7cMcbzxo2h6Ttd81A5URZFPkFeOpemXuXHYPu4?key&#61;_qqW4oxP8rJIJ7fBVMllnQ" /></p><h3 id="why-zkboost-matters">Why ZkBoost Matters:</h3><ul><li>One Integration vs Dozens: This solution preserves the benefits of diversity and competition without causing fragmentation, thus ensuring efficiency within the proof supply chain.
