Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
