zkVerify’s mainnet is live and from day one, we’ve been supported by some of the most experienced validator partners in Web3.

Today, we’re proud to spotlight Openbitlab Validator, one of zkVerify’s genesis validators and a long-standing infrastructure provider securing dozens of major blockchain ecosystems since 2016.

With deep expertise in validator operations and a track record of reliability, Openbitlab is helping ensure zkVerify’s network remains secure, decentralized, and resilient as it scales to become the universal verification layer for zero-knowledge proofs.

Why This Matters

zkVerify is purpose-built to verify zero-knowledge proofs at scale, providing millisecond-fast, cost-efficient verification across blockchain, AI, and verifiable data. A robust validator foundation is critical to that mission.

Openbitlab Validator brings years of experience operating across 80+ blockchains, managing over $40M in delegated assets (and historically peaking at $250M). From securing the Lisk network in 2016, the first-ever delegated proof-of-stake chain, to validating Tezos, Polkadot, Cosmos IBC chains, and Ethereum, Openbitlab has consistently demonstrated excellence in infrastructure management and staking reliability.

By joining zkVerify as a genesis validator, Openbitlab reinforces the network’s early decentralization and sets the standard for operational performance at mainnet scale. Their presence ensures that proof verification remains not only efficient but secure and independently validated across the protocol.
