For off-chain computation to truly take off, three key challenges must be addressed simultaneously: speed, trustworthiness, and economic closed loop. The Lagrange Coprocessor uses STARK proofs to ensure trust, offloading recalculations to improve speed, but without a solid token economy, a sustainable market cannot form. The three-track design of LA is crucial—
Fuel: Users estimate gas-equivalent costs in LA when submitting tasks, locking the fees into the task contract to prevent settlement disputes caused by price fluctuations.
Collateral: Provers/Aggregators must stake LA first; proving invalidity or delays triggers a slash; the insurance pool is automatically replenished by forfeited funds, so users need not worry about footing the bill for node errors.
Governance: The fee ratio, minimum staking amount, and aggregation depth are all decided by LA token holders via voting with a 48-hour timelock; participating in governance can earn additional vault dividends, encouraging long-term locking of tokens.
As a result, as computational demand increases → LA consumption and destruction become greater → circulation decreases; meanwhile, increased staking locks tokens, creating a dual effect that forms natural deflation, laying the economic foundation for the entire trustworthy computation market.
