The story

Lagrange Labs was founded as a ZK cryptography infrastructure company focused on zero-knowledge proofs for blockchain applications. It evolved from building ZK coprocessing tools (SQL-based on-chain verifiable queries) to operating a full decentralized ZK Prover Network secured by EigenLayer restaking, with institutional validators like Coinbase and Kraken. In 2025 it pivoted toward verifiable AI with DeepProve (zkML), positioning itself as critical infrastructure for defense, compliance, and enterprise AI workloads. The embedded finance angle is nascent — Lagrange uses Toku for token compensation infrastructure and operates its own LA token ecosystem.
