Join the Lagrange Expedition towards Mainnet
August 8, 2024
For the last several months, Lagrange Labs and the early Lagrange community have been building and testing the foundations of the Lagrange ZK Coprocessor. The Lagrange ZK Coprocessor scales blockchains by enabling developers to verifiably compute over large sets of onchain data using SQL queries, in order to build more expressive and data-rich apps. We’re now excited to announce the Lagrange Expedition, where community members can participate and help build towards the mainnet launch of the Lagrange ZK Coprocessor.
Lagrange Expedition Roadmap
As seen above, we have completed testing of the basic features of the Lagrange ZK Coprocessor during the public Euclid Testnet and also launched on EigenLayer the Lagrange ZK Prover Network – the decentralized network of operators which generate ZK proofs with high liveness guarantees for the ZK Coprocessor. We are now approaching the launch of ZK Coprocessor 1.0, where we will activate custom features and start onboarding key partners who are interested in integrating the Lagrange ZK Coprocessor into their stack. 2.0 will follow, which is the final stage of additional features, optimizations and testing, before full production launch and network incentives later this year.
How to Participate
Community Quests
To help build towards the Lagrange ZK Coprocessor mainnet launch and a vibrant ecosystem, anybody can join the Lagrange Expedition by participating in various community quests:
- Lagrange Expedition: Mission 1.0 - a series of weekly quests released throughout August, focused on growing the ecosystem and supporting the launch of the Lagrange’s ZK Coprocessor 1.0 upgrade.
- Lagrange Expedition: Mission 2.0 - quests and activities starting in September, to test and improve the performance of the Lagrange ZK Coprocessor 2.0, before mainnet launch.
Start participating in Mission 1.0 now to earn rewards and swag!
Running Provers
Lagrange’s ZK Coprocessor’s hyper-parallel quality is thanks to our unique architecture – by dividing computations into many small tasks that can be distributed to multiple machines to compute in parallel - and then recursively aggregating the proofs back together. This essentially means that our ZK Coprocessor’s proving speed increases as our ZK Prover Network grows in size. The Lagrange ZK Prover Network currently has more than 60 operators, including exchanges like Coinbase and OKX as well as top validator teams like P2P.org. If you are interested in becoming an operator for the Lagrange ZK Prover Network to generate proofs for the Lagrange ZK Coprocessor (as well as other use cases as new Gateways are created), sign up here.
Developers/Protocols
Lagrange’s ZK Coprocessor can unlock previously inefficient, expensive and even impossible use cases by allowing developers to easily compute historical storage, receipt and transaction data, directly in their smart contracts. If you have an app or use case that can be brought to life by the offchain verifiable computation enabled by Lagrange’s ZK Coprocessor, reach out to us, and keep an eye out for upcoming announcements about programs to support builders.
Participation in the Lagrange Expedition and contributions to the Lagrange ecosystem will be the basis for rewards for community members upon mainnet launch. Join the Lagrange Expedition today!
