Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
Despite recent controversies surrounding its airdrop, there is no doubt that EigenLayer has emerged as the most prominent project of 2024, thanks to its re-staking mechanism. Its outsized returns have not only driven explosive growth in total value locked (TVL), but also prompted users to swiftly exit meme-driven "pump-and-dump" cycles and reallocate capital and confidence back into the Ethereum ecosystem.
As of press time, EigenLayer’s ETH TVL has surpassed 5 million ETH, with over 54 million Eigen tokens staked. The number of active AVSs (Actively Validated Services) and Operators stands at 11 and 251, respectively. The EigenLayer ecosystem is now experiencing rapid expansion, with over 20 leading projects across various sectors—including Lumoz, Espresso, Near, and Dodo—joining the network.
In an instant, a revolution centered on ETH and powered by EigenLayer has begun reshaping blockchain security and yield generation.
This article takes Lumoz as a case study to explore its technical innovations on EigenLayer, shedding light on how such advancements are driving progress within Ethereum and the broader blockchain industry.
1. Lumoz Announces Launch of AVS Compute Layer Based on EigenLayer
As a leader in modular compute layers and ZKRaaS (Zero-Knowledge Rollup as a Service), Lumoz has consistently delivered strong performance in both capital markets and technological innovation. In April 2024, Lumoz first announced the completion of its Pre-A funding round (with a valuation reaching $300 million), followed by support for an Op Stack + ZK Fraud Proof Layer 2 architecture, ushering in a new model for L2 design.
This week, Lumoz officially launched its AVS compute layer built on EigenLayer, composed of zkProver and zkVerifier components, significantly enhancing network computing power and security.
Lumoz’s zkProver specializes in generating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), verifying data authenticity without revealing underlying information. Leveraging powerful computational resources, zkProver can rapidly generate efficient ZKPs, greatly improving privacy and security across blockchain networks. The zkVerifier, meanwhile, is responsible for validating these proofs, ensuring their correctness and reliability. Integrated with EigenLayer’s re-staking mechanism, zkVerifier not only leverages Ethereum’s security but also offers additional economic incentives to validators. This dual-verification framework significantly strengthens overall network security and reduces trust assumptions.
Note: EigenLayer’s re-staking mechanism enhances the security of the Ethereum ecosystem by providing AVSs, thereby addressing trust issues and reducing capital costs.
By integrating robust computing infrastructure with EigenLayer’s re-staking mechanism, Lumoz has created a highly efficient and secure computing service ecosystem. This innovation not only boosts computational capacity and security but also unlocks new application scenarios and value propositions for developers and users alike. Through zkProver and zkVerifier, Lumoz brings unprecedented innovation to the blockchain space, advancing the entire industry’s technological frontier.

4. Detailed Workflow
4.1 zkProver
zkProver is the core component responsible for generating zero-knowledge proofs. ZKPs allow a prover to demonstrate the truth of a statement to a verifier without revealing any additional information. zkProver supports multiple types—including zkRollup Prover, zkFraud Prover, and zkML Prover—each optimized for specific computational tasks to ensure peak performance and system efficiency in their respective domains.
Workflow:
1. Task Acquisition: The Lumoz AVS Oracle and Dispatch module fetch tasks from the blockchain and synchronize them to Lumoz Chain—these are assertions or computations requiring proof.
2. Task Distribution: Tasks are assigned via the Dispatch module to appropriate provers. Acting as a task scheduler, Dispatch uses intelligent algorithms to dynamically allocate computing resources based on task type, load, and prover performance, ensuring system stability during peak demand.
3. Proof Generation:
-
zkRollup Prover: Focuses on proofs related to batch transaction compression, enhancing blockchain speed and scalability.

Other Prover: Additional provers for specialized proof types.
4. Proof Submission: Generated proofs are sent to Lumoz Chain for validation and archival.
4.2 zkVerifier
zkVerifier is another critical component in the architecture, tasked with validating ZKPs generated by zkProver. It ensures the correctness and validity of proofs submitted on-chain, safeguarding trust and security. Through optimized validation workflows, zkVerifier efficiently processes proofs while minimizing operational costs and gas consumption.
Workflow:
-
Proof Submission: Proofs generated by zkProver are submitted to Lumoz Chain, initiating the validation process.
-
Proof Verification: Lumoz Chain distributes the validation task to multiple zkVerifier nodes, which perform decentralized, independent verification.
-
Consensus Decision: At least two-thirds of the verifier nodes must confirm the proof as valid, ensuring authoritative and consistent validation outcomes.
-
Result Handling: Validated proofs and their results are relayed back by the Lumoz AVS Oracle to the Lumoz Proof Contract on the blockchain. The Task Manager Contract records the outcome and responds accordingly on Lumoz Chain.
