: : Verify to Trust - Two Different Approaches of EigenCloud and Boundless
Verification is human instinct. We constantly verify - confirming meeting times, checking product reviews, validating information.
But in the age of cloud computing and AI, we're increasingly unable to verify what happens behind the scenes. This gap between our verification instinct and capability has created a fundamental trust crisis in digital systems.
@eigenlayer and @boundless_xyz are two pioneering projects tackling different aspects of this challenge.
1. EigenCloud
EigenCloud targets "intersubjective" verification, things that can't be mathematically proven but rational observers would agree on (e.g. DAO governance decisions, incentive fairness). Leveraging $EIGEN, a token with unique fork mechanism, EigenCloud implements verifiability supported by economic security.
2. Boundless
As a decentralized prover market built upon @RiscZero zkVM, Boundless implements verifiability which is guaranteed by cryptographic proof. Thus, Boundless specializes in deterministic computations with clear inputs/outputs.
Those two aren't competing visions; they're complementary layers. EigenCloud excels where subjective judgment matters, and Boundless dominates where mathematical certainty is possible.
We're at an inflection point where verification technology meets market demand. The projects building this infrastructure today will define how we interact with digital systems tomorrow. The question isn't whether verifiable computing will become standard; it's how quickly we can get there.
