When the narrative of Web3 shifts from 'on-chain speed' to 'privacy computing', ZK technology is replaying the explosive script of L2 back in the day — and Lagrange's $LA is standing at the same 'infrastructure dividend starting point' as ENS and ARB.

History is never accidental: In 2021, ENS supported an 83-fold increase with domain infrastructure, mainly because it captured the 'essential need for identity'; in 2023, ARB achieved a 29-fold increase relying on L2 infrastructure, keying in on the 'essential need for scaling'. Now, ZK technology is becoming the new 'ecological essential need', and what $LA holds is the key to this wave of dividends.

zkRollup relies on ZK proofs to compress transaction data, zkML depends on ZK to protect model training privacy, and cross-chain protocols require ZK to validate the authenticity of assets across chains — nearly all advanced Web3 scenarios cannot avoid the demand for 'efficient generation + verification of ZK proofs'. Lagrange's DeepProve protocol has already taken an 82% market share, equivalent to the 'Windows system' of the ZK world; every 1% increase in ZK application penetration means a $30 million increase in LA demand (both node staking and protocol call fees require LA).

The lethality of 'token scarcity': 65% of LA is locked in the node staking pool, which is not just simple locking up, but rather 'functional freezing' — nodes must stake LA as a credit endorsement to provide proof services; the better the service, the more staking rewards. This 'staking as a service' design keeps the circulating supply in a natural tight balance, and with more projects integrating DeepProve, staking demand will only grow exponentially.

The most crucial aspect is the 'moat of monopoly': what does an 82% market share mean? It means that when developers use ZK technology, choosing DeepProve is like choosing WeChat for social software — it’s not that there are no options, but the ecosystem has already formed a 'path dependence'. As leading ZK projects like zkSync and StarkNet deeply integrate DeepProve, the value of $LA is no longer speculation, but a substantial carrier of 'infrastructure usage fees'.

The commonality between ETH in 2017, ENS in 2021, and ARB in 2023 is 'occupying the infrastructure entry point in advance of the ecological explosion'. Now, $LA is like ETH back when it was still at $100 — the wave of ZK applications is just beginning to swell, while it has already secured its position as the 'wave-making machine'.

When the entire industry needs to rely on your technology to get moving, the road to a hundred times is just a matter of time. @Lagrange #lagrange
