The Lagrange Foundation has announced a major $LA token buyback to stabilize prices amid market volatility. This comes after $LA’s June Binance listing, where it surged 185% to $1.50 before correcting to around $0.39. Analysts now believe the buyback could push $LA back toward the $1 mark by September.
Why Lagrange Matters
Lagrange is more than a token—it’s a modular ZK proving layer powering verifiable computations for AI, rollups, and Web3 apps.
ZK Prover Network: Built on EigenLayer’s restaking, with 85+ operators (including Coinbase Cloud & Kraken), decentralizing proof generation for maximum security and uptime.
ZK Coprocessor: Enables SQL-like queries on historical blockchain data, verifying results on-chain with ZK proofs—cutting gas costs by up to 90% for DeFi projects on Polygon, Arbitrum, and more.
DeepProve zkML: Verifies AI inferences 158x faster than competitors, with backing from NVIDIA’s Inception Program and over 3M verified inferences—critical for trustless AI in high-stakes industries.
Tokenomics & the Buyback
Supply: 1B tokens, 4% annual inflation
Community Allocation: 35% (10% via airdrops)
Utility: Proof fees (in ETH/USDC) are used to buy back $LA and pay provers
Staking: Delegation to subnetworks earns rewards based on demand
The July 14, 2025 buyback plan will use foundation reserves to repurchase tokens—reducing the circulating supply (currently 193M) and potentially increasing scarcity.
Adoption & Momentum
75% of ZKsync proofs now outsourced to Lagrange
140K+ users, 11M proofs generated
Average 2025 price target: $1.38—but the buyback could accelerate this timeline
Bottom line: This isn’t just about propping up prices—it’s a strong signal of confidence in Lagrange’s position as the verifiable backbone of Web3. With AI, modular blockchains, and zero-knowledge tech on the rise, LA could be one of the year’s biggest gainers.
