🔄 Dual-Staking & AVS: Redefining Trust in Proof Markets
Lagrange’s security model stands out with a robust dual-staking AVS (Actively-Validated Service) architecture that goes beyond traditional slashing schemes. Here’s how it works:
Provers stake LA to be eligible to generate ZK proofs—whether for data queries, rollup analytics, or zkML inference.
Guardians restake ETH (via EigenLayer) to validate those proofs. If a Prover submits faulty data, it’s the Guardian’s job to challenge it.
If a challenge succeeds, the Prover is slashed and the Guardian earns the bounty—aligning economic incentives with proof integrity.
This model delivers two critical advantages:
Verifiability at scale — Any dApp can outsource ZK security to Lagrange’s decentralized AVS without bootstrapping its own validator set.
Triple-layer trust — The protocol combines the LA security budget, ETH restaking, and cryptographic soundness of SNARKs.
Public AVS testnet is expected Q4 2025. As Lagrange becomes a plug-and-play ZK backend for AI, rollups, and RWA protocols, this staking framework could become the new gold standard for decentralized verification.
