A project's real moat is not just its technological advantage, but its irreplaceability within the industry ecosystem. The market entry strategy of @Lagrange Official is considered classic; it chose not to compete directly with the application layer, but instead positioned itself as 'the infrastructure of infrastructure', deeply embedding itself in the core layers of other key protocols.
The two most typical cases are:
Empowering ZK-Rollup: Lagrange has reached an agreement with Matter Labs to handle up to 75% of ZKsync's outsourced proof needs. As a leading Layer 2, ZKsync's decentralization, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are its core narratives. Lagrange's decentralized prover network (LPN) perfectly addresses the centralized prover bottleneck faced by ZKsync. Through this collaboration, Lagrange has become a key partner in ZKsync's grand vision, deeply binding this vast ecosystem.
Securing LRT Ecosystem: The Liquid Re-Staking Token (LRT) is one of the most significant innovations in the current DeFi space. Protocols worth billions of dollars, such as Ether.fi, Renzo, and Swell, originally relied on centralized oracles for their core operations (like point calculations and token re-basing). Lagrange's ZK co-processor is being used by these protocols to achieve the aforementioned trustlessness. This equates to Lagrange becoming a core component that ensures the safety and fair operation of these massive assets.
Through this 'enabler' strategy, Lagrange is not merely selling a service but has become the foundational layer upon which other businesses rely to build and operate. The value of $LA is thus firmly tied to the growth and security needs of the entire Web3 infrastructure layer.
