ZkBoost is a generic abstraction for outsourced proving. In practice, it is a kind of proxy node that proving services and networks can integrate with, providing a single, standardized API for projects in need of proof generation to access all proving options.

The purpose of the ZkBoost Consortium Governing Council is to collaboratively develop standards for proof supply chain abstraction. We invite all ZK-rollups and proving services to unite in architecting and funding ZkBoost, a generic abstraction for outsourced proving.

Currently, 42 companies have now opted to join the Governing Council, which consists of a diversified group of organizations and enterprises including Layer 1s, other major Layer 2 partners, and a multitude of prover networks. With a range of industry roles, all companies who have vowed to participate are collectively committed to governing and extending ZkBoost’s capabilities, with the core mission of bringing decentralization to the proof supply chain.

We’re excited to announce that ZKRush, Leading Technical Solutions & Infrastructure Service Provider on Zero-Knowledge Track, has joined the ZkBoost Consortium. The Council Seat will be held by Steven Li, Chief Technology Officer. Steven Li, is a blockchain and cloud infrastructure expert with over 20 years of experience. He specializes in distributed storage, cyber security, Web 3 technologies and zero-knowledge proof. As the CTO and co-founder, he focuses on advancing decentralized technologies and driving innovation in the blockchain space.

At ZKRush, we are passionate advocates for the transformative potential of zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography in the blockchain space. Our team specializes in leveraging bleeding-edge hardware to accelerate the adoption and scalability of ZK proofs. Our commitment to advancing zk cryptography stems from its unparalleled ability to enhance blockchain privacy, security, and efficiency.

Looking towards 2025, we believe that ZK technology will be a cornerstone of the next generation of blockchain solutions. As the demand for scalable, privacy-preserving solutions intensifies, zero-knowledge proofs will become essential for enabling trustless, decentralized applications across industries. At ZKRush, we are excited about the future of ZK and its role in revolutionizing the blockchain ecosystem.

Joining the ZKBoost consortium represents an important step in realizing our vision. The collaboration fosters a shared commitment to developing accessible and standardized ZK proving resources. By contributing our expertise in hardware acceleration and zero-knowledge systems, we aim to help shape a more efficient, scalable, and decentralized proving infrastructure. We’re excited to work with other leading industry players in ZKBoost to unlock new opportunities for innovation and drive the broader adoption of ZK technology.

Gevulot Labs is funding early work on ZkBoost, but our goal is for this to be a public good, open-source software. To formalize how this implementation should be governed to ensure neutrality, apply to join the Governing Council of the ZkBoost Consortium.

We’ll be announcing the rest of the Governing Council members weekly over the coming quarter, so stay tuned to learn more about the folks participating in this innovative initiative.
