Lagrange's significant underlying support lies in its operation on top of EigenLayer and its ownership of over 85 node operators. This is crucial for investors as it ensures the network's security and level of decentralization.
Many projects face a problem in their early stages: a low number of nodes, which makes them vulnerable to attacks and even centralization risks. However, Lagrange's approach is to leverage EigenLayer's restaking security, delegating validation tasks to a large decentralized node network. This architecture ensures that even if individual nodes go offline, the network's liveness and security can still be maintained.
From an investment perspective, this has two implications:
Strong risk resistance — 85+ nodes mean the cost of attacks is extremely high, significantly reducing the likelihood of malicious behavior.
Long-term sustainability — node operators earn $LA through staking and delegation, providing stable demand and value capture for the tokens.
In other words, Lagrange does not rely on one or two large nodes in a 'centralized solution,' but is a truly decentralized network. In future competition, this combination of 'security + decentralization' will become Lagrange's confidence in capturing the market. For investors, this is an important indicator of whether a project can sustain itself in the long run.
