Steel
on Boundless
Run Solidity code without gas restrictions.
Complete millions of state queries in a single call
Query entire token holder sets, balances, or historical transactions with a single function call without the prohibitive gas costs.
Overview
Go cross-chain with Steel
Connect your smart contracts across multiple blockchains without trusted bridges or oracles. Steel's unique approach lets you read and verify data across chains with the security guarantees of Ethereum L1.
- Unpack L2 state roots to verify data from any OP Stack chain
- Generate light-client proofs for secure cross-L1 verification
- Enable fast, secure L2-to-L1 and L2-to-L2 message passing
Malda uses Steel to offer unified lending: enabling users to seamlessly lend assets across multiple chains and borrow from any supported chain.

Why Steel
Challenge
Onchain Today
With Steel
Compute Limits
Execution contrained by block size and gas limits.
Run unlimited computations off-chain, only pay for verification.
State Access
Expensive to query large datasets.
Query millions of state entries in a single call.
Complex Logic
Often infeasible due to gas costs (e.g., moving averages, pricing models)
Run complex algorithms or advanced math at a fixed cost.
Let Boundless handle the rest.
Boundless powers proof generation behind the scenes: resilient, decentralized, and built-in by default.
High Liveness
Multiple independent provers ensure proofs keep flowing 24/7 without disruptions.
Ultra Low Costs
Prover competition and market dynamics significantly drive down costs, so ZK is always affordable.
Censorship Resistant
No single party can block or withhold service to your rollup.
