Risc Zero has recently announced the shutdown of its official hosted proof service, as Boundless Network simultaneously enters a fully decentralized new stage.

3 hours ago

On December 17th, Risc Zero announced the shutdown of its official hosted proof service, while the Boundless Network has entered a fully decentralized new phase—marking the universal zero-knowledge (ZK) proof market’s full transition to a completely open, decentralized, market-driven landscape. Previously, Risc Zero provided official ZK proofs to help developers access zero-knowledge computing capabilities without building their own hardware. As the Boundless Network’s functionality and verification capabilities mature, proof requests will now be handled by independent nodes in the network, aligning the proof mechanism with blockchain’s core traits of resilience and neutrality. ### Boundless: A Fully Decentralized Open Proof Market Boundless is a universal ZK proof market built for multi-chain and application-focused use cases—any chain or app can leverage it to get ZK proofs, boosting scalability and interoperability. The network uses a **Proof of Verifiable Work (PoVW)** mechanism, rewarding Provers based on their actual computational effort. This fosters a competitive environment that incentivizes Provers to generate proofs faster and at lower costs, delivering efficient, user-friendly ZK proofs to all chains.

Analysis: Weak U.S. Employment Data May Prompt Fed to Cut Rates Earlier Next Year

On December 17, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) noted that U.S. non-farm payrolls data points to a further weakening in the labor market, while more resilient consumer spending signals demand conditions remain fairly strong. Overall, this could prompt Federal Reserve policymakers—who held differing views at the central bank’s last meeting—to reassess their stances, raising the likelihood of a rate cut in 2026. That said, Goolsbee and Schmidt, the two key dissenters who pushed to keep rates unchanged at last week’s meeting, will lose their voting positions next year. They are likely to be replaced by Hammack and Logan, who may take a more hawkish stance. Convincing these incoming policymakers to shift their views and back more aggressive rate cuts will be a tough task. However, the cooling labor market will continue to erode their hawkish resolve, as the balanced mix of economic data has undermined the Fed’s rationale for keeping rates on hold. As a result, the probability of th

Binance: Do not trust any "listing agent," as we do not charge any fees for listing applications. Reporting a listing agent could result in a reward of up to $5 million.

On December 17, Binance issued a statement noting a sharp rise in listing-related scams, per official sources. Scammers are impersonating Binance employees (including business development staff), purported "listing agents," or authorized intermediaries—often promising guaranteed token listings in exchange for fees. These claims are entirely fraudulent: Binance does not charge fees for project evaluation or listing applications, and any listing commitment is false. **Key Principles to Follow:** 1. **No Third-Party Intermediaries:** Binance does not appoint, accept, or recognize individuals/organizations to represent projects in listing applications or negotiations. Anyone claiming to collect Binance listing fees is committing fraud. All listing-related communication must come directly from a project’s core team (e.g., founders, co-founders, C-level executives). Projects using third parties for listing applications will be immediately disqualified and blacklisted, blocking future

Former Theta Executive Accuses CEO of Fraud and Retaliation

On December 17, two former executives of blockchain firm Theta Labs have filed whistleblower lawsuits in California against the company and its CEO Mitch Liu, alleging years of fraud, market manipulation, and retaliation. Former executives Jerry Kowal and Andrea Berry filed separate complaints in Los Angeles Superior Court. They claim Liu used Theta Labs and its parent company Sliver VR Technologies to artificially inflate token prices through deceptive partnerships and undisclosed insider token sales, while retaliating against employees who raised concerns. Kowal’s attorneys note Liu treated Theta Labs as a personal trading tool for fraud, self-dealing, and market manipulation. His orchestrated pump-and-dump schemes repeatedly wiped out value for investors and employees—including creating false NFT bids linked to high-profile collaborations like one with Katy Perry. Berry’s complaint also calls out Theta’s past statements about Google, accusing the company of misrepresenting
