Blockchain technology startup developing ZK coprocessing for verifiable computations, focused on DeFi, AI, and dApp interoperability.
Lagrange Labs, based in New York, New York, develops zero-knowledge (ZK) coprocessing technology to enable verifiable computations on blockchains at big data scale. Their solutions support decentralized finance, AI inference verification via DeepProve, and cross-chain interoperability for dApps, providing a production-ready ZK Prover Network powered by operators on EigenLayer. The company has raised a total of $17.2 million, including a $13.2 million seed round led by Founders Fund, with participation from investors like 1kx and Archetype Ventures. Its Euclid testnet has generated over 40,000 proofs with 40+ node operators, while its ZK Prover Network now boasts 85+ operators. DeepProve, their ZKML library, offers up to 700x faster verifiable AI inference. Lagrange Labs was founded in 2022 by Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh.

Lagrange Labs is a technology company building blockchain infrastructure for verifiable computation, specializing in zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to enable secure cross-chain interactions, AI inference verification, and scalable app development.[1][2][3] Its core products include the Lagrange ZK Prover Network—live on EigenLayer with over 85 operators—and the ZK Coprocessor, which support proofs for AI models (via DeepProve), rollups, cross-chain messaging, and off-chain compute, serving developers in Web3 and AI sectors.[2][3] The platform solves trust and scalability issues by providing cryptographically secure proofs without bridges or intermediaries, with proven traction: over 3 million AI inferences, 11 million ZK proofs generated, 140,000 DeepProve users, and 30+ top AI projects integrated.[3]
Lagrange targets AI projects needing verifiable outputs, Web3 developers scaling rollups and apps, and enterprises requiring decentralized proving for defense and cyber operations, addressing problems like unprovable AI decisions and inefficient cross-chain data access.[2][3]
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in New York, Lagrange Labs emerged to tackle blockchain interoperability and computation verifiability, developing a cross-chain platform with secure state proofs.[1][3] The team's expertise in ZK technology drove early innovations like the decentralized ZK Prover Network on EigenLayer and DeepProve for zkML (zero-knowledge machine learning), enabling rapid AI verification up to 158x faster than competitors.[2][3]
Pivotal moments include launching the production-ready prover network, achieving massive scale (queries over 50,000+ blocks), and in May 2025, establishing the independent Lagrange Foundation to manage network operations while Labs focuses on R&D for ZK and verifiable AI.[3][4] This separation ensures decentralized governance and ecosystem growth, marking a shift toward broader adoption.
Lagrange rides the convergence of ZK proofs, AI verifiability, and Web3 scalability, enabling trustless AI inference and cross-chain ops amid rising demands for provable computation in decentralized systems.[2][3] Timing aligns with AI's explosion in defense/cyber and Web3's rollup boom, where unverified models risk errors and bridges create vulnerabilities—Lagrange's network counters this with decentralized proving.[3]
Market forces like EigenLayer's restaking (hosting its prover) and zkML growth favor it, influencing the ecosystem by powering 140K+ users and top AI projects, fostering verifiable apps that bridge AI-Web3 silos.[2][3][4] The Foundation's role accelerates adoption, standardizing ZK infrastructure for a "provable by design" internet.[4]
Lagrange Labs is positioned to dominate verifiable AI and ZK infrastructure, with R&D yielding faster zkML and coprocessors while the Foundation scales the network.[3][4] Upcoming trends like autonomous AI agents and massive rollups will amplify demand; expect deeper EigenLayer ties, more AI integrations, and token (LA) utility expansions for provers/operators.[2][5]
Its influence may evolve into the backbone for trust-based internet apps, tying back to its core mission: cryptographic assurance for AI and Web3, transforming assumptions into proofs.[3]
