In a significant industry milestone, Lagrange has struck a two-year deal with Matter Labs to route up to 75% of ZKsync’s outsourced proofing demand through the Lagrange Prover Network (LPN). This marks a pivotal step in transitioning the ZK Stack to fully decentralized proof generation.
Lagrange had earlier integrated a decentralized version of ZKsync’s prover, showing that centralized entities are no longer necessary for efficient proof generation. With this agreement, ZKsync becomes the first ecosystem of its size to entrust the majority of its proving workload to a decentralized network.
“Decentralized proving is the future and every rollup will be a ZK rollup,” said Lagrange CEO Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh. “This partnership cements ZKsync’s leadership in scaling the Elastic Network without sacrificing decentralization.”
The LPN framework is designed to cut costs, enhance performance, and increase network resilience. For users, this translates into cheaper and faster transactions. For builders, it ensures greater uptime and security guarantees.
Matter Labs CTO Anthony Rose emphasized: “Expanding proof generation to decentralized provers increases redundancy, strengthens resilience, and empowers builders with more hardware flexibility.”
With an ecosystem of 25 ZK stack chains, 300 decentralized applications, and 1.3M monthly transactions, ZKsync is already scaling rapidly. Meanwhile, rollup-as-a-service providers such as Caldera and AltLayer are tapping into Lagrange’s proving infrastructure to support their growth.
To date, Lagrange has generated 9M+ proofs, operates with a network of 85+ independent provers, and secures over $29B in restaked ETH underscoring its role as a cornerstone of the next generation of decentralized ZK rollups.
