Lagrange Labs, a zero-knowledge (ZK) company, has raised $4 million in a pre-seed round to advance its patented ZK-proof system designed to solve one of blockchain’s longest-standing challenges: interoperability. The round was led by 1kx, with participation from Maven11, Lattice Fund, CMT Digital, and Daedalus Angels, highlighting strong early-stage investor confidence in Lagrange’s approach.
At the core of Lagrange’s mission is enabling developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) that can seamlessly access and interact across multiple blockchains. Traditionally, cross-chain communication has relied on bridges or intermediaries to transfer information — mechanisms often prone to security vulnerabilities and limitations in the type of data they can transmit. By leveraging ZK-proofs, Lagrange Labs eliminates the need for such intermediaries, offering dApps secure access to both real-time and historical data across multiple Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks.
Founder Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh explained: “Modern DeFi applications require more sophisticated relationships between data on different blockchains, and we’re excited to see how our technology can unlock new multi-chain DeFi primitives.”
While zero-knowledge technology has already gained recognition for tackling Ethereum’s scalability issues, Lagrange is extending its utility to the interoperability layer. This approach could open new possibilities in DeFi, decentralized identity, cross-chain GameFi, and governance, providing a foundation for more complex, multi-chain ecosystems.
The fresh capital will accelerate Lagrange’s research and development of its ZK-proof methodology, strengthening its position at the forefront of blockchain interoperability. By removing the reliance on insecure bridges and offering a trustless standard for cross-chain communication, Lagrange Labs is positioning itself as a key infrastructure provider in the next era of Web3.
