🔸BNB HODLer Issue 26 Lagrange $LA At first, I thought it was Los Angeles, but it actually belongs to the "ZK Coprocessor" category of projects. This thing is quite obscure to understand. As someone who trades... I forced myself to read through the project materials and will try to explain my understanding of this project in the simplest terms possible 👇 ZK Coprocessor means "ZK Co-processor". What is its purpose? First, ETH Layer2 Rollup has two technical routes: OP (Optimistic Validation) and ZK (Zero-Knowledge Proof). ZK offers higher security and privacy, making it suitable for fields that demand extreme security and privacy, but it has slow proof generation, high costs, and high entry barriers; therefore, it hasn't been widely adopted like OP. The "ZK Co-processor" aims to address the aforementioned disadvantages of ZK. @lagrangedev has built a dual-stack system of ZK Prover Network + ZK Coprocessor, providing the underlying infrastructure for ZK proof and computation services across the entire on-chain world. From Rollup to data analysis, from on-chain SQL to cross-chain queries, it almost covers all "blind spots of on-chain intelligence". ZK capabilities are no longer point integrations but network-level outputs. ⚠️Important Information Alert Lagrange's technical architecture has three highlights: 1. ZK Prover Network A decentralized ZK computing network built on EigenLayer, with 85+ institutional-level validation nodes generating proofs in parallel, supporting any request type and data calls from any chain. Thanks to its "multi-subnet + custom proof system" architecture, it breaks through the traditional single-gateway bottleneck, achieving true horizontal scalability. 2. ZK Coprocessor A set of off-chain MapReduce engines that transforms contract storage into a "verifiable SQL database". You can execute complex queries across chains and obtain ZK proofs for direct on-chain verification. No need for bridges, no need for oracles, and no need to run full nodes yourself. 3. DARA Auction Mechanism Efficiently solves the supply-demand matching problem in the prover market, supporting price allocation based on the true value of computing resources, allowing buyers to spend less and sellers to earn, without waste or collusion, ensuring sustainable operation. From an ecological perspective, the role of the ZK Coprocessor is much greater than imagined. Currently, multiple projects like Axiom, Brevis, ORA, RiscZero, etc., are laying out Coprocessors, with scenarios ranging from L2 data indexing, NFT whitelist generation, DEX on-chain backtesting, AI smart executors to LLM interface verification, gradually moving beyond pure infrastructure. Lagrange's differentiating factor is that it is not a tool but a platform, a project that establishes a "computing grid" for the Coprocessor track. It does not create scenarios itself but enables all scenarios to have low-threshold access to proving capabilities + query capabilities. 📌To summarize If you believe ZK is the future of Rollup and even Web3, Lagrange may be the most fundamental and irreplaceable infrastructure. It should not be an isolated tool but a unified trust interface across the entire chain.
