Boundless is building a decentralized ZK proving network that allows high-performance nodes to lock orders and complete zero-knowledge proofs for on-chain programs.

By participating early and running a node, you contribute compute to the Boundless testnet and earn points or rewards based on your performance.

Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your Boundless Node on RapidNode:
