Lagrange is a cryptocurrency project (la) utilizing Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs and AI. It consists of two main components: a decentralized ZK Prover Network and a ZK Coprocessor. The ZK Prover Network provides universal proving capabilities for various applications, including rollups and other coprocessors. The ZK Coprocessor allows developers to perform and prove custom SQL queries on on-chain data directly from smart contracts. DeepProve, Lagrange's zkML advancement, enables verifiable AI at scale, proving that AI models produce results according to their expected functions.

Lagrange addresses the limitations of traditional blockchain computation by providing verifiable off-chain compute. It tackles the challenges of scalability, trust, and data access by enabling developers to lift computationally intensive workloads, such as SQL queries over historical blockchain data, off-chain and prove the results on-chain using ZK proofs. The ZK Prover Network removes censorship and liveness risks associated with single points of failure, enabling thousands of proof requests to be handled simultaneously across a decentralized network.

Lagrange distinguishes itself through its combination of a ZK Prover Network and a ZK Coprocessor. Its ZK Coprocessor 1.0 is the first SQL-based ZK Coprocessor, allowing for custom SQL queries over on-chain data. The Lagrange Prover Network is production-ready and powered by top operators on EigenLayer, and designed with a modular architecture that allows for dynamic scaling. Lagrange also offers DeepProve, enabling verifiable AI at scale. Its Double Auction Resource Allocation (DARA) mechanism further ensures cost efficiency.

Traditional bridges use isolated 'k-of-n' validator sets with capped security, while Lagrange's State Committees pool security through EigenLayer restaking. This creates a shared security zone where economic protection scales superlinearly with node participation, making attacks exponentially more expensive compared to fragmented bridge models.

The coprocessor specializes in parallelizable computations like SQL queries and MapReduce operations. While Turing-complete computations are possible, optimal performance occurs in distributed workloads. Hyper-parallel architecture allows horizontal scaling across operators, but complex sequential computations may face latency challenges.

While State Committees require EigenLayer for restaking security, the ZK Coprocessor operates independently. Developers can run verifiable computations without restaking dependencies, though EigenLayer integration enhances proof liveness guarantees through operator SLAs.

The network uses a modular architecture with dedicated proving subnetworks, avoiding single-gateway bottlenecks. Operators must meet proof-generation SLAs or face penalties, while the DARA mechanism aligns incentives through competitive resource pricing. With 85+ independent operators including major exchanges, decentralization is structurally enforced.

Key differentiators include: (1) Horizontal scaling via parallel proof generation across operators, (2) Integrated restaking security for high liveness, (3) SQL/MapReduce-native proof system optimized for big data, and (4) Onchain verification compatibility with any EVM chain.
