Why ZK Will Power Crypto's Next Killer Apps with Lagrange
Building the Internet of Proofs and Lagrange’s Vision for ZK Everywhere
Welcome to episode 16 of EigenLayer Unlocked. We’ve got a lot to cover, and we’re excited to share some insights from our recent technical talk focused around ZK coprocessors with Ismael from Lagrange.
The “internet of proving” is a network where ZK proofs are the centerpiece of all blockchain interactions onchain. We discussed the rise of proof markets onchain, why Lagrange is building their own prover network, and why they have decided to build their tech stack as an EigenLayer AVS.
Lagrange is one of the earliest AVSs on EigenLayer, powering their prover network. We touched on their technical choice to build a double auction mechanism—an efficient way to match ZK proof buyers and sellers, making sure the market remains as steady as possible while keeping costs low for applications and consumers of ZK proofs.
We also discussed some particular topics around liveness, economic security, and where the reliance on EigenLayer comes into play.
If you're curious about ZK proofs, economic security, and efficient network design, this technical talk is for you.
