ANECDOTE

Partnerships With Major Chip And Cloud Players

  • Lagrange announced collaborations with NVIDIA, Intel, and a major hyperscaler to commercialize ZKML.
  • Those partnerships aim to address confidential AI needs across regulated industries.
ADVICE

Align Token With Proofing Revenue

  • Design token economics so network fees flow to stakers and provers who deliver correct proofs.
  • Use staking, slashing, and fee-sharing to align prover behavior with service reliability.
ADVICE

Build Tokens With Real Revenue

  • Build real revenue streams for infrastructure tokens to avoid meme-coin dynamics.
  • Capture fees from actual usage so token value aligns with protocol utility.
