Here's a detailed breakdown of **Lagrange (LA)**, the cryptocurrency

Core Concept & Vision

* **Focus:** Lagrange aims to be a high-performance, scalable, and energy-efficient blockchain platform designed for mainstream adoption, particularly targeting **Decentralized Finance (DeFi)** and real-world **payment solutions**.

* **Key Differentiator:** Its unique **Proof of Contribution Time (PoCT)** consensus mechanism, designed to be fairer and more accessible than traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) or even some Proof-of-Stake (PoS) systems.

## Technical Details

1. **Consensus Mechanism: Proof of Contribution Time (PoCT)**

* **Core Idea:** Rewards network participants (validators) based on the **duration and consistency** of their active contribution to the network's security and operation, not just raw computational power (PoW) or sheer token holdings (PoS).

* **How it Works:**

* Validators "stake" their LA tokens to become active contributors.

* They run nodes to validate transactions and propose blocks.

* **Rewards are earned proportionally to:** The *amount* of LA staked **multiplied by** the *time* those tokens have been continuously staked and actively contributing ("Contribution Time").

* This incentivizes **long-term commitment** and stable network participation over short-term speculation or hoarding large amounts of capital just for staking rewards.

* **Benefits:** More decentralized distribution of rewards over time, potentially lower energy consumption than PoW, resistance to certain attacks targeting temporary stake concentration.
