In the world of blockchain, staking often signifies security and returns, but in the @Boundless network, it also represents mastering the entry to the future. ZK Coin (ZKC) is not just a token; it is the guarantee and driving force of the entire zero-knowledge proof market.
Prover nodes must stake ZKC before taking on tasks, with the amount usually far exceeding the task fees. This ensures the delivery of tasks while making every stake directly impact network security. Failed stakes may be partially burned or transferred, while completed proofs provide stable returns for nodes. The more they stake, the larger the scale of tasks they can receive, and the potential for returns increases accordingly.
The network employs a Proof of Verifiable Work mechanism, linking rewards to actual computational efforts. 75% of the rewards are allocated to the nodes running provers, while 25% are distributed to all stakers. Even without participating in computation, individuals can earn passive returns through staking. This distribution model allows everyone holding ZKC to benefit from the network's growth.
As more chains and applications connect to Boundless, the demand for proofs continues to rise, and the locked ZKC will expand accordingly. The token supply tightens, and both returns and security are enhanced in tandem. Staking is not only a way to protect the network but also a ticket to share in the ecological growth dividends.
Choosing to stake ZKC means placing oneself at the core of the zero-knowledge proof economy. As @Boundless expands into a cross-chain computational infrastructure, stakers will be among the first to enjoy the growth dividends.
