Since launching in 2022 as Opside, the company now known as Lumoz has dedicated itself to making ZK-Rollup technology more approachable and user-friendly. Lumoz pioneered the concept of ZK-RaaS (ZK-Rollup as a Service), serving developers’ needs to build customized ZK-Rollup (zkEVM application chains) across various L1 networks.

Let’s take a detailed look at the Lumoz ecosystem, their ZK-RaaS, and their modular computing layer!

Modular Blockchains 101

Modular rollup technology offers a novel method for addressing the so-called “impossible triangle” issue in traditional blockchain systems. This approach divides the blockchain into different modules, each serving a specific function, allowing for a layered architecture that enhances transaction processing and data management. This structure helps balance decentralization, security, and scalability. The typical modules of a rollup include:

Settlement Layer: Manages the updating of asset statuses on the blockchain, generally functioning on Layer 1 (the main chain). This layer verifies the data from the rollup and updates the main chain, ensuring the security and accuracy of assets.

Execution Layer: Handles transaction processing within the rollup, recording and updating transaction statuses. This layer enables faster transaction execution on the rollup network without requiring main chain confirmation, thus boosting speed and efficiency.

Consensus Layer: Maintains consensus on the status of transactions, ensuring their legality and security. This layer often utilizes efficient consensus algorithms like Proof of Stake or Proof of Authority.

Data Availability Layer: Logs all transaction data occurring on the rollup and ensures complete data availability when updating asset statuses in the settlement layer. This layer supports data traceability and integrity, enhancing the overall system security and reliability.

For ZK-Rollups, an additional crucial module, the Prover Layer, is necessary.

What is Lumoz?

The Lumoz Network, a globally distributed modular computing network, collaborates with the DePIN network to provide a secure and flexible computing platform for users around the world. This network focuses on offering advanced zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) services, supporting the development of Rollup networks, and supplying robust computational power for technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). In response to the challenges associated with computational costs in the zero-knowledge computing sector, the Lumoz Network applies its extensive expertise in the ZKP field to innovate and optimize circuits and algorithms, significantly enhancing computational efficiency. This improvement addresses the issues of high costs and low efficiency that Rollup projects often encounter and reduces the barriers for general users to engage in the ZK computing market.

The forthcoming zkVerifier Node from the Lumoz Network aims to simplify user participation. By using just a standard server, users can readily engage in the zero-knowledge computation verification process within the Lumoz Network. This adjustment lowers the participation threshold, allowing more individuals to easily join the Lumoz DePIN network, thereby maintaining the network’s security and efficiency and enabling them to benefit from the network’s rewards and incentives.

Understanding the Lumoz Modular Compute Layer

The computational layer of Lumoz, which functions as the computing module, exhibits several characteristics:

Decentralized Computing: Operating as a blockchain network, the Lumoz computational layer uses a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Proof of Stake (POS) and Proof of Work (POW). This setup ensures decentralized computing power, facilitating continuous ZKP computing for zkRollups and providing a secure environment for data processing and model training in AI applications.

Robust Computational Stability: Composed of thousands of GPU/CPU nodes, the Lumoz computational nodes deliver ongoing computational capacity for ZKP and ZKFP, and support the extensive parallel computing required by AI technologies. This guarantees efficient execution of computational tasks.

Wide Compatibility: Lumoz is highly compatible with leading Rollup solutions in the blockchain sector, including Polygon zkEVM, zkSync, Scroll, and Starknet. It also meets diverse computational demands in the AI sector, supporting different technological stacks through its distinctive computing mechanism.

Cost-Efficiency: The decentralized computing layer of Lumoz integrates a comprehensive economic model that yields low-cost ZKP generation. This cost-efficiency extends to AI computational tasks, offering users an economical and effective solution for both AI and blockchain computing needs.

Lumoz Nodes

The Lumoz Network, through its extensive research and ongoing innovation in the zero-knowledge (ZK) domain, has notably lowered the costs and barriers to entry for zero-knowledge computing, enabling a broad spectrum of users to access advanced computing technologies. Participants in the Lumoz zero-knowledge computing network can choose from multiple flexible options:

zkVerifier Node: This node is integral to the Lumoz network, tasked with rigorously validating the computation processes and results of the zkProver Node. This verification ensures the accuracy of computation results and the reliability of the network, playing a crucial role in upholding the integrity of the system.

zkProver Node: Serving as the computational engine of the network, the zkProver Node is responsible for performing tasks within the Lumoz network and generating the corresponding ZKPs or ZKFPs. These proofs are essential not only for verifying the correct execution of tasks but also for safeguarding the privacy and security of information throughout the process.
