Lagrange Labs got $13.2M during their seed round last week. The company is creating zk-coprocessor, which is said to "unlock new data-intensive and cross-chain applications".

To understand this tech and how it got so much cash, we decided to dive into the zk-coprocessor field.

🖥What is zk-copressor?
A coprocessor is a microprocessor designed to supplement the capabilities of a primary processor. In this case, the primary processor is Ethereum.

Essentially it takes tensive computations off-chain and generates ZK proofs of the result to bring back on-chain

📊Practical Applications
Instead of building blockchains on top of blockchains, Web3 can pursue an even more modular approach to scaling by breaking away even more components, such as DA, consensus, state, and more.

This provides companies with a flexible and dynamic solution space for scaling blockchains

🔮Future
Innovations in the ZK space, specifically multi-chain verification, as well as improved ZK performance, will enable projects to really expand the solution space for coprocessors.

The future that RISC Zero (another zk-project) imagines is a universal ZK layer, one that connects and translates consensus states, DA, across a whole variety of blockchains.

In the future, it can connect it to Web2, bringing in off-chain identity, healthcare records, defence tech, AI.
