Lagrange Partners With Matter Labs to Direct Up to 75% of Outsourced Proofs to LPN
Lagrange, a decentralized ZK Prover Network, announced today that he has partnered with Matter Labs, an Ethereum scaling research and development company.
The collaboration aims to direct up to 75% of Matter Labs outsourced proof demand to the Lagrange Prover Network (LPN) over the next two years.
While the partnership is coming a few months after Lagrange successfully integrated a decentralized version of ZKsyncs ZK Stack prover, it marks a notable milestone for the company in its journey to further transition its ZK Stack to decentralized proof generation.
The move seeks to enable ZKsync to process more of its proving demand on a decentralized network, showing that proof generation no longer needs to rely on centralized single-entity solutions.
Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh, Co-Founder & CEO of Lagrange, commented on the development, saying,
Every rollup will be a ZK rollup, and thats the future of Layer 2 scalingZK rollups offer unmatched scalability, security, and cost efficiency, making them the inevitable choice for next-generation decentralized applications. With this partnership, ZKsync is enabled to lead the charge, and the Elastic Network will operate at an unprecedented scale without compromising on decentralization.
With Lagrange spending the last year establishing that decentralized proving networks can outperform centralized alternatives, the development has further fortified its position as a leader in blockchain-based cryptography and decentralized applications that require complex, high-volume data processing.
While this move will build on the success of the Lagrange Prover Network (LPN), which has already reduced costs, increased throughput, and eliminated reliance on single points of centralized failure, Matter Labs decision to commit to LPN for up to 75% of its outsourced proofs, promises the possibility of a fully decentralized ZK rollup ecosystem.
Notably, this means lower gas fees, faster transactions for ZKsync users, and greater confidence in the performance and liveness of L2s on the Elastic Network for businesses. With this move, Lagrange has proven to operate at a massive scale, unlocking the next phase of ZK rollup evolution.
Anthony Rose, the CTO of Matter Labs, a contributor to ZKsync, also commented on the partnership saying,
This collaboration further increases the ability of ZKsyncs Elastic Network to scale and gives ZKsync builders more options for customization.
Rose also added that;
Decentralization proving increases the resilience of the network, relative to a centralized model, and expands the total available hardware that can be used to generate proofs which is important as network activity increases. By integrating with Lagranges infrastructure, were also expanding the flexibility and control available to builders, reinforcing ZK Chains as the most powerful and adaptable scaling solution for the future of web3.
