Recently, writing such articles has made my scalp tingle, brothers, just bear with it haha.
What is the positioning of this project?
In the blockchain industry, zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) are no longer a novel term, but few projects can truly apply this technology to complex computations and cross-chain verifications. Lagrange's positioning is to provide a universal ZK infrastructure for Web3. It does not merely focus on scaling, but aims to enable developers to use zero-knowledge verification capabilities in various scenarios, such as cross-chain bridge security, large-scale data calculations in DeFi, validation of AI inference results, and more.
Lagrange is more like an underlying service platform, where developers can treat its proof network as a 'toolbox' that can be called upon at any time to solve problems of insufficient on-chain computing power and verification reliability.
Lagrange's technology mainly consists of three parts:
ZK Prover Network: A distributed proof network responsible for generating and verifying zero-knowledge proofs. After users submit computation requests, network nodes complete the calculations and generate proofs, directly verifying results on-chain, saving time while ensuring trustworthiness.
ZK Coprocessor: Enables smart contracts to call complex data processing functions. Developers can use it for large-scale on-chain data calculations, such as asset settlement, transaction volume analysis, profit distribution, etc. Results are verified by the proof network, avoiding issues of insufficient computing power in the contract itself.
zkML (DeepProve): This is Lagrange's exploration in the AI direction. It supports validating the inference results of AI models, allowing others to confirm the authenticity and reliability of results without disclosing model details.
These three parts combined allow Lagrange to cover multiple popular tracks such as finance, cross-chain, and AI.
Lagrange's native token LA serves multiple functions within the entire ecosystem:
1. Payment fees: When calling the ZK Coprocessor and generating zero-knowledge proofs, LA needs to be used for payment.
2. Node incentives: Operators are rewarded for providing computing services, with LA as the settlement method.
3. Staking mechanism: Nodes need to stake LA to participate, which can prevent malicious behavior and enhance network security.
4. Governance functions: In the future, holders can participate in community governance, deciding on protocol upgrades, fund flows, and ecological development directions.
This design tightly binds the token to ecosystem operations, avoiding the issue of 'shell tokens'.
Lagrange has strong resource integration capabilities in the industry. It has also established partnerships with infrastructure platforms like Polygon, EigenLayer, and LayerZero. For an infrastructure project, having these collaborative endorsements can significantly enhance credibility and implementation speed.
The total supply of LA is 1 billion tokens, with approximately 19.3% in circulation at launch. The team has set an annual inflation rate to subsidize nodes, which can both reduce developer costs and ensure node enthusiasm. Initially, Binance also conducted an airdrop activity to further expand community influence.
What about the future? Brothers, I still have a relatively optimistic view.
Lagrange (LA) takes a more stable approach: it does not emphasize hype but starts from infrastructure, empowering developers with the capabilities of zero-knowledge proofs. The LA token serves functions such as payment, staking, incentivization, and governance, forming a complete closed loop. With ecosystem expansion and increased collaboration, Lagrange has the opportunity to occupy a long-term position in the ZK track.
However, for investors and developers, the value of this project lies more in long-term logic than in short-term market heat. A steady and solid approach may be its greatest competitive advantage.
