#lagrange @lagrangedev Lagrange is a modular, ZK-powered infrastructure protocol designed for verifiable off-chain computation and multichain interoperability. It achieves this through two core components:

• ZK Prover Network: A decentralized system that accepts proof requests (e.g., for rollups, AI, cross-chain validation) and delivers verifiable outputs using various proving systems (like Plonky2/3), backed by a distributed operator network such as via EigenLayer.

• ZK Coprocessor: A trustless computation engine enabling smart contracts to perform SQL-like, verifiable queries across chains—streamlining complex on-chain data retrieval with cryptographic proof The LA token is the economic backbone of the Lagrange ecosystem, essential for its trust-minimized computation framework:

• Fee Payments: Used to pay for ZK proof generation. Payments in ETH or USDC are partially swapped for LA, creating buy pressure and value accrual through client activity.

• Rewards & Subsidies: Provers receive payment in LA—either directly or via token emissions. The protocol maintains a 4% annual emission rate that subsidizes proof generation costs.

• Staking & Delegation: Holders can stake or delegate LA to provers, earning rewards while helping secure the network. Malicious or underperforming provers can be penalized (slashed)..
