On Monday, the Wormhole team announced via a blog post that Boundless (RISC Zero’s proof generation network) has built a custom verifier with Wormhole. It uses their Ethereum consensus ZK client to prove Ethereum mainnet finality for Wormhole’s NTT (Native Token Transfers) standard.
With this feature, NTT integrators can optionally enable ZK proof-verified transfers for Ethereum, configured as a two‑of‑two alongside the Wormhole Guardian signing mechanism for defense-in-depth security.
Wormhole is adding a Boundless NTT verifier for Ethereum and L2s, allowing for proofs generated by the Boundless Ethereum consensus ZK client (TSEth) to accompany Wormhole Guardian signatures.
This release targets institutional integrators and infrastructure partners that want defense‑in‑depth and independent trust lines in their bridging stack. It also serves builders who want to incorporate cryptographic verification of L1 finality in addition to hardened Wormhole attestation.
Wormhole is a leading interoperability platform powering multichain applications and bridges at scale. Wormhole’s modular suite of open-source, permissionless protocols and tools is being used by multichain builders to create some of the most popular web3 applications.
