Welcome to Bonsol

Welcome to the official documentation for Bonsol, the verifiable computation framework designed to extend Solana's computational boundaries. Our mission is to allow developers to build complex, computationally-intensive applications on Solana without being constrained by its native limitations.

What is Bonsol?

Bonsol is a Solana-native verifiable computation framework that enables developers to:

  • Off-load complex computations off-chain while maintaining on-chain verifiability

  • Remove computational constraints by generating cryptographic proofs for resource-intensive tasks

  • Maintain security and trust through zero-knowledge proofs that can be efficiently verified on Solana

  • Build previously impossible applications with unlimited compute potential

Bonsol transforms Solana from a place where only certain things are possible, to one where anything is possible.

Why Bonsol?

Solana has established itself as a high-performance blockchain with ultra-fast transactions and low fees. However, as applications grow more sophisticated, they face inherent limitations:

  • Fixed compute unit (CU) caps per transaction

  • Transaction size limitations

  • Constraints on complex logic execution

Bonsol breaks through these barriers by providing a decentralized prover network and developer toolkit that brings infinite computation to Solana-based applications.

Key Features

  • Unlimited Compute Power: Execute computationally intensive operations off-chain

  • On-Chain Verifiability: Produce succinct, constant-size cryptographic proofs regardless of computational complexity

  • Native Solana Integration: Seamlessly connect with existing Solana programs and resources

  • Privacy-Preserving Capabilities: Support for private data proofs without exposing sensitive information

  • Community-Driven Development: Open-source foundation with contributions welcome

Use Cases

Bonsol enables a wide range of applications previously impossible on Solana:

  • Verifiable Agents: Autonomous, provably secure agents operating without human intervention

  • Storage and Transaction Proofs: Prove historical ownership or specific on-chain events

  • Provable Game Engines: Build complex game mechanics by outsourcing simulations off-chain

  • Private Liquidity Pools: Create pools where balances are provable without revealing participants

  • Cross-Chain Activity Proofs: Enable secure cross-chain operations with trust-minimized proofs

Join the Community

Bonsol is a community-driven initiative. We're building the Bonsol Collective, a collaborative ecosystem of people, projects, and companies working together to extend Solana's capabilities.
