A New Paradigm of Rollup Technology: ZK Platform Solutions

As the number of users on the Ethereum network increases, the network becomes increasingly busy, especially during primary market activities, where gas fees often rise significantly. Meanwhile, due to the continuous increase in the price of ETH tokens, high transaction fees hinder the possibility of small transactions. Therefore, improving storage efficiency, transaction throughput, and reducing transaction delays are crucial for the development of Ethereum.

Layer 1 scaling solutions typically include both on-chain and off-chain forms. On-chain refers to optimizations made within Layer 1 by changing the consensus mechanism, implementing sharding, and increasing block size; off-chain mainly includes sidechains and Layer 2 solutions. Compared to sidechains, Layer 2 relies more on the mainnet's security protocols, thus usually offering higher security.

In the development of Layer2, Rollup has become the mainstream implementation solution. Rollup is essentially a further extension of the Plasma solution, with higher security, state validity, and data verification capabilities, and has become the main direction for Layer2 development.

Rollups are mainly divided into two categories: Optimistic Rollups and ZK Rollups. Optimistic Rollups assume that the submitted transaction results are correct, allowing for fast processing of transactions, but they have a challenge period of about a week. In contrast, ZK Rollups immediately verify the correctness of transactions through zero-knowledge proofs, providing higher security and faster transaction confirmations, and are therefore considered the main line of Layer 2 development.

However, due to the technical implementation difficulty of ZK-Rollup being far higher than that of Optimistic-Rollup, the current Rollup market is still dominated by Optimistic-Rollup. How to build a standardized ZK-Rollup solution and gradually expand its application market has become a key issue.

A project called Lumoz has proposed a comprehensive ZK-Rollup solution. Lumoz is a globally distributed modular computing network that combines DePIN networks, providing computational support for ZK-Rollup, ZK ML, ZKP, and more. Lumoz focuses on ZK-RaaS(Rollup as a Service) development, aiming to provide a complete ZK-Rollup deployment and implementation solution to address multiple issues such as the incompatibility of current ZK-Rollup solutions, centralized computing power, and concentrated risks.

The Lumoz team has many years of experience in the ZK field. Since its establishment in March 2022, the project has undergone multiple rounds of financing, with its valuation continuously increasing. In terms of actual operations, Lumoz has launched a testnet, has a large number of POW nodes, operational Rollups, and a significant amount of ZKP submissions and transaction records.

On a technical level, Lumoz has launched the ZK-Rollup Launchbase, which supports multiple mainstream blockchain testnets and provides various modular components. At the same time, Lumoz has achieved several technological breakthroughs, such as the ZKP Two-step Algorithm, NCRC, and the zkVerifier node verification mechanism.

Lumoz provides a modular computing layer, including the settlement layer, execution layer, consensus layer, data availability layer, and proof layer. The proof layer offers censorship-resistant distributed computing, implements ZKP, and ensures the authenticity and validity of transaction states.

Lumoz combines powerful ZK computing resources with the EigenLayer restaking mechanism. Users can restake their already staked tokens into EigenLayer to enhance the security of the active verification service (AVS). At the same time, the staked tokens serve as collateral for the nodes, preventing malicious behavior.

In the ZKP computation and submission mechanism, Lumoz supports parallel computation and sequential submission of ZKPs, and introduces a recursive aggregation algorithm that can aggregate multiple ZKPs into a smaller ZKP, reducing the consumption of blockchain resources.

Lumoz's ZK-RaaS Launch Base supports all mainstream zkEVM technologies, allowing developers to easily deploy and launch ZK-Rollups. The platform supports various architectural models, including modular computation layers, native cross-Rollup communication, and customizable infrastructure services.

Lumoz adopts a dual-token governance model, which includes two tokens: MOZ and esMOZ. MOZ is the native token of the mainnet, used for paying transaction fees and service fees. esMOZ serves as the ecological governance token, used for network incentives and decentralized governance.

In summary, the emergence of Lumoz is expected to integrate the ZK-Rollup ecosystem, optimize the construction process of ZK-Rollup, and provide the industry with a simple deployment solution. This may promote further development of ZK-Rollup technology, addressing current challenges such as high deployment difficulty and centralized computing resources, paving the way for the widespread application of ZK-Rollup.
