New Paradigm of Rollup Platform: Lumoz's Path to ZK Integration

The Environment Drives the Transition of Rollup

As the number of Ethereum users continues to increase, the network is becoming increasingly busy, and gas fees often rise sharply. High transaction fees hinder the possibility of small transactions. Therefore, improving storage efficiency, transaction throughput, and reducing transaction latency is very important for the development of Ethereum.

Traditional Layer 1 scaling solutions consist of two forms: On-chain and Off-chain. On-chain refers to updates and optimizations made on Layer 1 by changing the consensus mechanism, implementing sharding, and expanding block size; Off-chain refers to off-chain scaling, mainly including sidechains and Layer 2 solutions. Layer 2 operates relying on the mainnet's security protocols, so from a security perspective, Layer 2 often has the upper hand.

The mainstream implementation solutions for Layer2 currently include three types: Channel, Plasma, and Rollup. Rollup is essentially a further extension of the Plasma solution, offering higher security, state validity, and data verification capabilities. Therefore, Rollup has become the fundamental direction for the future development of Layer2.

Comparison of Rollup Branches

There are two major branches in Rollups: Optimistic-Rollup and ZK-Rollup. Optimistic-Rollup assumes that the transaction results submitted to the main chain are optimistic, setting a challenge period of about a week. ZK Rollup verifies the correctness of transactions immediately through zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that the transactions are almost 100% fraud-proof.

Overall, ZK-Rollup offers higher security compared to Optimistic-Rollup, and there is no delay in transaction confirmations due to challenge periods, making it more promising for applications. However, due to the significantly higher technical implementation difficulty of ZK Rollup compared to Optimistic-Rollup, the mainstream market for Rollup technology is still dominated by Optimistic-Rollup.

How to shape a standardized ZK-Rollup solution and gradually expand the application market for ZK-Rollups has become an important issue. The holistic solution that Lumoz can provide may become the key to breaking the deadlock.

Technical Background of Lumoz

The Lumoz network is a globally distributed modular computing network that, in conjunction with the DePIN network, shapes a powerful, secure, and flexible computing platform that provides computational support for ZK-Rollups, ZK ML, ZKP, and more. At the same time, Lumoz focuses on the construction of ZK-RaaS, aiming to provide a complete set of deployment and implementation solutions for ZK Rollups, addressing various issues such as incompatibility among existing ZK-Rollup solutions, centralization of computational power, and concentration of risks.

Lumoz has been deeply involved in the ZK field for many years. Its founder possesses rich technical knowledge and excellent blockchain project management skills, leading the team to explore and research in the ZK field since 2018.

Lumoz launched its testnet in May 2023, and so far has 28,403 POW nodes, 16 allowed Rollups, 470,000 ZKP submissions, and 20 million transactions.

On the technical side, Lumoz has launched ZK-Rollup Launchbase, increasing support for multiple testnets and providing various modular components. It has achieved several groundbreaking technological inventions. At the same time, it has provided ZK computing support for multiple projects, preliminarily realizing the implementation of technology.

Unified ZK Technical Solution

Modular Computing Layer

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

ZK computing resources and EigenLayer re-staking

Lumoz integrates powerful ZK computing resources with EigenLayer's restaking mechanism to enhance the security of active validation services. The staked tokens will serve as collateral for nodes, preventing malicious behavior.

This process improves resource utilization and computing efficiency, which is extremely important for ZKP generation with high computational demands. Through re-staking, Lumoz can better support various EVM-compatible blockchain environments, increasing the platform's scalability.

ZKP calculation and submission mechanism optimization

Lumoz supports ZKP parallel computation and sequential submission, decomposing ZKP into multiple subtasks that are computed on different zkProver nodes and ultimately submitted in the correct order.

In addition, Lumoz proposed a novel recursive aggregation algorithm that can aggregate multiple ZKPs into a smaller ZKP, reducing the consumption of storage and computing resources on the blockchain.

High Compatibility ZK-RaaS Solution

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

These features make the deployment of ZK-Rollup transition from difficult to easy, possibly marking the beginning of the trend for ZKP applications.

Token Model

Lumoz adopts a dual-token governance model, offering two tokens: MOZ and esMOZ.

MOZ is the native token of the mainnet, used for paying gas fees and service fees. esMOZ serves as the ecological governance token, used for the construction and maintenance of the mainnet ecosystem.

The exchange rate of esMOZ to MOZ varies over time, with a redemption period and corresponding redemption rate. This mechanism can alleviate the market pressure from miner tokens and effectively prevent potential risks.

The Development Prospects of Lumoz

ZK-Rollup is considered the best solution for Layer2 Rollup in the future. The emergence of Lumoz will integrate the previously fragmented situations of ZK-Rollup, optimizing the construction of ZK-Rollup while creating a complete set of easy deployment processes.

The advantages of Lumoz include:

• Meet the needs of integrating ZK-Rollup and driving industry updates.
• Provides a modular computing layer, enhancing security and scalability in conjunction with EigenLayer.
• Optimize the ZKP process to improve the efficiency of computing resource utilization.
• Provide a complete ZK-Rollup deployment solution, which may drive a new round of project development.

Overall, Lumoz has addressed the issues of high deployment difficulty and high computational resource requirements for ZK-Rollup, laying the foundation for the further development of ZK-Rollup.
