Boundless Foundation said its tokenized AI inference program will go live on Jan. 2, 2027, introducing a new reward structure for ZKC stakers. Under the plan, users who stake ZKC will receive model usage credits on the Boundless AI platform based on their share of the network’s total staked amount. Those credits can be used to access frontier open-weight models. The initial credit pool is set at about $1,000 and will be distributed once every two days. Boundless said staked ZKC will not be consumed under the new setup, and users will not need to migrate or restake their tokens. The foundation also said ZKC will gradually move to a fixed supply, with new issuance ending after the final staking reward cycle is settled. At the same time, Boundless will suspend its ZK proving business indefinitely starting Nov. 5, 2026. On that date, it will stop accepting new proving requests and close the reward claim channel for proving rewards. The Explorer user interface is scheduled to go offline on Nov. 30, while staking will remain available through a separate interface. The last staking reward cycle will end on Jan. 1, 2027.
Boundless Foundation said its tokenized AI inference plan will launch on Jan. 2, 2027.
Under the program, users who stake ZKC will periodically receive model usage credits on the Boundless AI platform based on their share of the network’s total staked amount. The credits can be used to call frontier open-weight models. The initial credit pool is about $1,000, with distributions taking place every two days.
According to the announcement, staked ZKC will not be consumed, and users will not need to migrate or restake. Boundless also said ZKC will gradually shift to a fixed supply and stop new issuance, while AI usage credits will replace the existing staking and proving rewards.
Separately, Boundless said its ZK proving business will be suspended indefinitely starting Nov. 5, 2026. On that day, it will stop accepting new proving requests and shut down the claim channel for proving rewards.
The Explorer user interface will go offline on Nov. 30, while staking will continue through a standalone interface. The final staking reward cycle will end on Jan. 1, 2027. After rewards are settled, ZKC will stop inflating.
