Lagrange Labs Launches its ZK Prover Network on EigenLayer, Powered by Coinbase, Kraken and OKX

NEW YORK, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lagrange Labs has announced the launch of its Zero Knowledge (ZK) Prover Network on EigenLayer’s Mainnet, powered by Coinbase, OKX, Staked (a Kraken company), P2P.org, Ankr, Nethermind, Luganodes, and more. As the first decentralized proof network deployed in the industry, Lagrange’s ZK Prover Network is backed by more than 20 of the best institutional validator teams in the space. This marks the first time top-tier operators have united to run production-grade ZK provers as part of a decentralized network to finally enable mainstream access to ZK technology. Lagrange Labs’ latest $13.2M seed funding round served to accelerate the development of the Prover Network, which supports its hyper-parallel ZK Coprocessor protocol.

Lagrange’s ZK Prover Network launching as an Actively Validated Service (AVS) on EigenLayer offers unique advantages beyond the security and privacy inherent in ZK proofs. While ZK proofs guarantee the validity of a computation, there is no guarantee of liveness of when a proof will arrive to a blockchain. With Lagrange’s Prover Network, however, operators run provers and commit to generating proofs within a given time period and collateralize the commitment with capital. Failure to generate a proof on time results in a penalty in the form of slashing or non-payment, which incentivizes operators to perform as promised, resulting in high liveness guarantees. By deploying on EigenLayer’s low cost-of-capital environment with restaked ETH, users also benefit from a favorable cost structure, whereby they are required to pay less for liveness than alternative staking sources.

The Prover Network supports Lagrange’s ZK Coprocessor as its first proof type. The ZK Coprocessor allows developers to access verifiable compute at an extremely large scale by lifting intensive computations offchain and generating ZK proofs of the result to bring back onchain. Its specific approach involves breaking down and distributing work to Lagrange’s decentralized Prover Network, which is able to perform computational tasks in a hyper-parallel manner. As a result, Lagrange’s ZK Coprocessor can handle a much larger scale of computations and can generate the results and proofs significantly faster, compared to other ZK coprocessors on the market. 

Due to its network architecture, Lagrange’s ZK Prover Network is also able to support different categories of proofs, including data consumption, database construction, data ordering, etc. The Prover Network consists of two primary actors: Gateways and Provers. Each Gateway is responsible for managing a queue of work that different Provers commit to perform. While Lagrange Labs operates the first Gateway for its ZK Coprocessor, operators can also define and operate their own Gateways to support different dapps and protocols, by setting their own rules around the types of proofs, hardware requirements, the distribution of work and operator payment splits.

Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh, Founder and CEO of Lagrange Labs, elaborates, “The hyper-parallel nature of Lagrange’s ZK Prover Network and its deployment on EigenLayer supported by top operators enables an efficient two-sided marketplace where different types of complex queries can be supported by reliable proof categorization and generation. This will finally open up ZK’s functionality for mainstream adoption.”

The Lagrange ZK Prover Network is supported by 20+ operators at launch, with more operators onboarding continuing to join. Those who are interested in becoming operators to run provers for Lagrange’s Network can do so by visiting Lagrange’s technical documentation. By deploying the first decentralized ZK prover network in the space, Lagrange Labs and partners are focused on bringing ZK into the hands of more builders and supercharging dapps with large scale verifiable compute.

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
