Boundless, a zero-knowledge verifiable compute layer, is now live on Mainnet Beta. Boundless enables computations to be performed by specialized prover nodes and verified efficiently by other chains or contracts through succinct zero-knowledge proofs, removing the need for re-execution on every node. Boundless also supports cross-chain interactions and elastic scalability. Boundless also introduced The Signal, an open-source ZK consensus client that compresses Ethereum finality into a single proof. Boundless is currently live on Base, with plans for additional chain deployments. Users can now vote on which chains The Signal should support next, request proof bundles, or run a prover node.
SharpLink Gaming is now the world’s largest corporate holder of ETH, with over 280,000 ETH in its strategic ETH reserve. The milestone follows SharpLink’s purchase of 74,656 ETH earlier this month, including a direct 10,000 ETH purchase from the Ethereum Foundation. Over 99% of the company’s holdings are staked on Ethereum. SharpLink also raised $413 million from an equity offering this month, with about $257 million of proceeds still available for future ETH purchases. SharpLink introduced an “ETH Concentration” metric, representing ETH held per 1,000 diluted shares, which stands at 2.46 ETH. The EF is now the second-largest entity to hold ETH.
The U.S. Department of Justice has ended its investigation into Polymarket, the leading crypto-based prediction markets platform, without filing any charges. Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan revealed that the FBI raided his home and seized his electronic devices just eight days after the 2024 presidential election. The investigation centered on whether Polymarket was accepting bets from U.S. users. Polymarket allows users to deposit USDC to buy and sell prediction tokens tied to real-world events. Polymarket is the 4th largest protocol on Polygon with over $90 million in TVL.
