Lagrange, the decentralized ZK Prover Network, has entered a deal with Matter Labs to direct up to 75% of Matter Labs’ outsourced proof demand to the Lagrange Prover Network (LPN) over the next two years. This marks a pivotal moment in furthering the ZK Stack’s transition to decentralized proof generation.
In January 2025, Lagrange successfully integrated a decentralized version of ZKsync’s ZK Stack prover, demonstrating that proof generation no longer needs to rely on centralized single-entity solutions. This new partnership cements that progress, enabling ZKsync to process more of its proving demand on a decentralized network, something never before achieved at this scale.
“Every rollup will be a ZK rollup, and that’s the future of Layer 2 scaling,” said Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh, Co-Founder & CEO of Lagrange. “ZK rollups offer unmatched scalability, security, and cost efficiency, making them the inevitable choice for next-generation decentralized applications. With this partnership, ZKsync is enabled to lead the charge, and the Elastic Network will operate at an unprecedented scale without compromising on decentralization.”
Lagrange has spent the last year establishing that decentralized proving networks can outperform centralized alternatives. The Lagrange Prover Network (LPN) has already reduced costs, increased throughput, and eliminated reliance on single points of centralized failure. Now, with Matter Labs committing to LPN for up to 75% of its outsourced proofs, the industry has a clear path forward toward a fully decentralized ZK rollup ecosystem.
For ZKsync users, this translates into lower gas fees and faster transactions. For businesses, this translates to greater confidence in the performance and liveness of L2s on the Elastic Network.
“This collaboration further increases the ability of ZKsync’s Elastic Network to scale, and gives ZKsync builders more options for customization,” said Anthony Rose, CTO of Matter Labs, a contributor to ZKsync. “Decentralized proving increases the resilience of the network, relative to a centralized model, and expands the total available hardware that can be used to generate proofs – which is important as network activity increases. By integrating with Lagrange’s infrastructure, we’re also expanding the flexibility and control available to builders, reinforcing ZK Chains as the most powerful and adaptable scaling solution for the future of web3.”
The ZKsync ecosystem boasts nearly 25 ZK stack chains, 300 applications, and 1.3M onchain transactions in the last month alone (source: DappRadar). Lagrange has proven it can operate at a massive scale, unlocking the next phase of ZK rollup evolution.
Rollup-as-a-service platforms, including Caldera and AltLayer, are also benefiting firsthand from Lagrange by relying exclusively on the Lagrange Prover Network for their ecosystems’ proof generation.
Key Takeaways:
- Decentralization – The majority of proof generation for a major rollup will happen entirely via a decentralized network.
- Lower Costs – Decentralized proving significantly reduces operational expenses, lowering users’ gas fees.
- Liveness & Security – LPN’s network of independent provers ensures continuous uptime, resilience, and higher security than centralized alternatives.
- Revenue & Growth – By capturing more of ZKsync’s proving demand, Lagrange unlocks new revenue generation and network expansion opportunities.

Claims issued in the UK High Court against BE Club co-founders in relation to OneCoin have been withdrawn in full by agreement. All allegations were withdrawn without financial settlement, and a worldwide freezing order was lifted.
The resolution in the case (CL-2024-000213), made public on January 25, 2025, came after the Islam brothers submitted compelling evidence countering all the claims against them. Notably, the claimants have agreed to contribute to the legal costs incurred by the brothers.
Moyn and Monir Islam were small-scale UK investors who themselves suffered financial losses from the OneCoin scheme. They held no operational roles in the fraudulent organization and attempted to alert others once they became suspicious of its legitimacy.
“For years, misinformation surrounding OneCoin has affected my reputation, including allegations of dishonesty, fraud, and fleeing the UK. This resolution shows we have been telling the truth. We’ve been unfairly targeted, and this is a vital step in setting the record straight,” said Moyn Islam.
The brothers’ subsequent business ventures, including Melius, later rebranded as BE Club, have been subject to misrepresentation.
The resolution includes the lifting of a worldwide freezing order previously imposed on the brothers’ assets and establishes a binding agreement preventing any future OneCoin-related claims against them by these claimants.
This outcome allows the entrepreneurs to focus fully on their current business ventures without the shadow of unwarranted allegations.
Jennifer McAdam, a key member of the Claimant group’s steering committee, released official statements (also shown below) available on Facebook, X (previously Twitter), and Instagram confirming the withdrawal of claims. The statement is also available at the end of this article.
The brothers were represented by separate law firms, which have put out statements on the resolution: Enyo Law & Peters & Peters.
Understanding OneCoin
The OneCoin scheme, which began in 2014, exploited early cryptocurrency enthusiasm to attract investors on a massive scale, leading to an estimated $4 billion in losses.
By 2016, nearly 1.6 million people had already joined the scheme. During this period, the Islam brothers also joined, believing they were supporting a system that had already amassed a significant global following under promises of financial success.
The events surrounding OneCoin remain a subject of global discussion among regulators, financial analysts, and investors.
About BE Club
BE Club is a product-first company redefining Network Marketing. We focus on empowering affiliates with in-demand products and the support they need to achieve sustainable success.
With a commitment to tech-driven solutions and competitive commission structures, BE Club opens the door to limitless opportunities, providing affiliates with the tools and resources to thrive. For more information, users can visit beclub.com.
STATEMENT BY ONECOIN INVESTORS REGARDING UK LAWSUIT
We wish to confirm that the claim (CL-2024-000213) brought in the UK by the Claimants (who are OneCoin investors) against Mr Moynul and Mr Monirul Islam (the “Islam Brothers”) in July 2024 in relation to OneCoin, together with the accompanying worldwide freezing orders, have been withdrawn by mutual agreement between the parties. No payments whatsoever have been made by Mr. Moynul and/or Mr. Monirul Islam to the Claimants in relation to the claim, although the Claimants have contributed to the legal costs that the Islam Brothers have incurred in relation to defending the claim and the accompanying worldwide freezing orders. For the avoidance of doubt, the withdrawn claims include (but are not limited to) all allegations of fraud and dishonesty made against the Islam Brothers. Moving forward, none of the Claimants will be pursuing any allegations against either of the Islam Brothers whatsoever. All parties appreciate the resolution of this matter and are committed to putting this unfortunate matter behind them and moving forward positively.

House of Doge, Dogecoin Foundation, IndyCar Driver DeFrancesco, and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Launch Dogecoin Indy 500 Voting and Donation Platform – Letting Fans Make Doge History and Win The Ultimate Collectors Prize
Dogecoin Racing, launched by the House of Doge and the Dogecoin Foundation is teaming up with NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver Devlin DeFrancesco and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing to bring Dogecoin to the iconic motorsports event—the Indy 500—while supporting a cause that is deeply personal to the team. The Indianapolis 500, known as “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” returns for its 109th running on Memorial Day weekend on May 25, drawing over 350,000 spectators in person and reaching a global audience in over 140 countries. This year brings with it a historic partnership with the Dogecoin race car taking center stage, empowering fans with the opportunity to vote on DeFrancesco’s Indy 500 car design featuring the iconic Dogecoin Shiba Inu.
Dogecoin, like DeFrancesco, was born FAST!
DeFrancesco was 15 weeks premature and weighed just one pound at birth, given his last rights on two occasions, and spent four months in the Neo-Natal ICU before making a miraculous recovery.
Now, as a professional race car driver, he’s using his platform to give back to critically ill children. As part of this Dogetastic partnership, DeFrancesco, a dog lover, and Dogecoin fan, will personally donate $25,000 in Dogecoin to Riley Children’s Foundation in Indianapolis, aligned with Riley Children’s Health, a leading pediatric care center.
This initiative also marks a historic moment in motorsport, as DeFrancesco has committed to receive $100,000 of his salary in Dogecoin. A bold step forward for crypto adoption in professional sports.
“I first invested in Dogecoin in 2020 and drove everyone crazy, telling anyone who would listen that they needed to own it. It’s not only my favorite crypto, but the plan to become a global currency and drive payment adoption is awesome. I’m pumped to be part of the community and an ambassador for the vision,” Devlin shared.
Voting to Bring an Iconic Doge Design to the Indy 500 Track and Make Doge History
To celebrate the making of Dogecoin History, House of Doge, the Dogecoin Foundation and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing are launching a fan-powered contest, allowing the Dogecoin community to choose the official race car wrap and helmet design that Devlin will wear at the Indy 500.
From March 19 to March 25, fans can vote on their favorite design and enter to win a Dogecoin wallet loaded with $1,000.
VOTES OPEN TODAY: Three potential versions of the No. 30 Dogecoin Honda include:
● Blaze – This livery burns so hot, it makes the sun look like a nightlight. Some say it was forged in the volcanic fires of Kīlauea and once it hits the track, all that’s left behind is smoke, embers, and the shattered dreams of others
● Turbowave – This livery is so 80s, it comes with a free synthwave soundtrack and a pair of neon sunglasses. Some say if you drive it at night, it glitches into a parallel universe where Miami Vice never ended and every race runs in slow motion with looping palm trees in the background.
● BananaBoost – This livery is so slippery, that Mario’s filing an official complaint. Powered by pure potassium, it’s sure to slip past the competition while making swift work of pesky turtle shells.
“Dogenate” to Children’s Health for a Chance to Win the Ultimate Collector’s Prize
As part of this partnership, House of Doge and the Dogecoin Foundation are rallying the Dogecoin community to join DeFrancesco in making a real-world impact by supporting children’s health. In addition to casting a vote, contributions in Dogecoin to Riley’s provide an opportunity to win the ultimate collector’s prize.
The largest Dogecoin donor leading up to race day will receive an exclusive, one-of-a-kind Indy 500 racing helmet, worn – and signed – by DeFrancesco himself during his Indy 500 qualifying run.
The Dogecoin-powered fundraising campaign will directly benefit Riley Children’s Foundation, which supports Riley Children’s Health, home to one of the nation’s top-ranked neonatology programs by U.S. News & World Report. The funds raised will help provide life-saving medical care to newborns, including those born prematurely or with critical conditions requiring immediate and specialized treatment.
House of Doge encourages the Dogecoin community to race toward generosity, make history, and support this incredible cause leading up to the Indy 500 on May 25.
Fans can vote and donate at dogecoin.com/indycar.
About House of Doge
The House of Doge team believes the future of money is already digital, and with Dogecoin’s speed and efficiency, it’s the ideal solution for the modern financial ecosystem. The team’s goal is to make Dogecoin a widely accepted decentralized currency for everyday use worldwide. To achieve this, House of Doge focuses on aggregating Dogecoin liquidity through robust operations in the U.S., creating a strategic reserve that will support its seamless use in commerce and government transactions. They are building the infrastructure necessary to ensure secure, efficient, and scalable Dogecoin transactions.
About Dogecoin Foundation
The Dogecoin Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to developing open-source technology that enhances Dogecoin’s accessibility and utility as a peer-to-peer digital currency.

PropellerAds, a global leader in performance-driven advertising solutions, has launched a groundbreaking advertising format: ads within Telegram Mini Apps. This new traffic type is designed to tap into Telegram’s rapidly growing ecosystem, offering advertisers unparalleled access to a crypto-oriented audience. With the integration of blockchain technology and the rise of Telegram Mini Apps built on the TON, this initiative opens a powerful new channel for advertisers in the crypto, Bitcoin, and blockchain sectors.
The announcement comes as PropellerAds officially rolls out this feature, which provides advertisers with immediate access to traffic with strong engagement from users, including those interested in crypto and blockchain. .
Telegram Mini Apps: A Gateway to Crypto-Oriented Users
Telegram Mini Apps are lightweight applications hosted within the Telegram messenger. Users can access a wide range of services — from crypto wallets to decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms — without leaving the app. PropellerAds’ new advertising solution allows brands to reach this highly engaged audience through ad formats natively integrated into Mini Apps , including interstitial ads, task-list placements, and banners, seamlessly integrated into the Telegram Mini Apps experience.
A key feature of this offering is that the audience is actively engaged with in-app activities, and various ad delivery mechanisms are available — ranging from traditional online advertising formats like interstitial ads to more engagement-driven approaches, such as displaying ads when a user has depleted their in-game lives. This flexibility allows advertisers to choose the most suitable format for their campaign goals. This approach enhances engagement and aligns perfectly with the behavior of crypto users, who are accustomed to earning tokens and rewards through blockchain-based platforms, making engagement-driven formats a natural fit for certain segments of the audience.
Unlocking New Opportunities for Crypto Advertisers
PropellerAds’ integration with Telegram Mini Apps offers a new opportunity for advertisers in the crypto and blockchain space. This traffic type provides access to a global audience, including key regions such as Europe (including CIS countries), India, and parts of Africa—areas with strong crypto adoption.
Unlike traditional channels such as search engines and social media, PropellerAds offers a crypto-friendly moderation process, allowing blockchain-related brands to launch campaigns without the need for dedicated agencies or massive budgets. With a minimum deposit of just $100, advertisers of all sizes can access this high-potential traffic stream.
PropellerAds already provided services for various blockchain-oriented products, including crypto wallets, educational applications for crypto enthusiasts, and Telegram channels. This diverse range of partners demonstrates the flexibility and effectiveness of our platform for the crypto and blockchain industry.
The platform’s advanced targeting capabilities ensure that advertisers can connect with the most relevant users. PropellerAds’ CPA-based bidding model further enhances ROI, giving advertisers complete control over campaign performance and budget allocation. Additionally, today’s PropellerAds platform includes almost all the features advertisers are accustomed to in traditional ad networks, such as auto-optimization, CPA-based bidding, retargeting, and smart bidding models powered by machine learning technologies. These tools allow advertisers to fine-tune their campaigns, maximize efficiency, and scale with precision.
Telegram Mini Apps and Their Role in Crypto
Telegram’s ecosystem is uniquely positioned for crypto advertisers. Many Telegram Mini Apps operate on the TON blockchain, meaning users are familiar with crypto wallets and blockchain-based transactions. This creates a highly receptive audience for crypto-related offers, from trading platforms to tokenized rewards programs.
PropellerAds’ solution addresses a critical need in the market by providing a seamless advertising channel for Telegram-based crypto projects. Whether promoting a new DeFi app, a DEX, or a blockchain-based game, advertisers can now reach their target audience directly within Telegram’s trusted environment.
Key Features for Crypto Advertisers
PropellerAds’ Telegram Mini Apps traffic offers several advantages tailored to the crypto industry:
- CPA Goal Bidding: Optimizing campaigns to achieve specific cost-per-action targets, ideal for driving wallet sign-ups or token purchases.
- Advanced Targeting: Reaching users based on platform, OS, browser, language, and connection type, ensuring precision in audience targeting.
- Flexible Moderation: Compared to Telegram’s direct advertising policies, PropellerAds offers a more streamlined and efficient approval process.
- Scaling Beyond Telegram: For advertisers looking to expand beyond Telegram’s ecosystem and attract fresh audiences, PropellerAds provides access to additional traffic sources. By integrating with broader marketing channels and alternative ad formats, brands can scale their campaigns to the maximum, reaching users beyond the in-app environment.
Pricing Models and Ad Formats
PropellerAds supports multiple pricing models, including CPC, Smart CPC, and CPA Goal, allowing advertisers to choose the option that best suits their campaign objectives. The platform also offers auto-creatives, simplifying ad management and enabling advertisers to focus on strategy and benefit from real-time statistics and advanced automation tools, including auto-bidding and automatic ad placement filtering. These features help streamline campaign management, optimize performance, and maximize ROI.
Ad formats are designed like familiar push-and-click styles, ensuring ease of use while delivering high-performance results. This combination of simplicity and innovation makes PropellerAds’ Telegram Mini Apps traffic a must-try for crypto advertisers.
Traffic Suitability for Various Sectors
PropellerAds’ new offering is designed for advertisers in the following verticals:
- Crypto and Blockchain: Supports promotions for exchanges, wallets, DeFi platforms, and NFT marketplaces.
- Finance: Targets audiences interested in Bitcoin, altcoins, and blockchain-based financial services.
- Gaming: Reaches gamers engaging with blockchain-based games and play-to-earn platforms.
- Rewards and Sweepstakes: Facilitates engagement with tokenized rewards and bonus coin campaigns.
A New Era for Crypto Advertising
With the launch of ads in Telegram Mini Apps, PropellerAds is empowering crypto advertisers to connect with a highly engaged audience. This innovative traffic type enhances brand visibility and drives meaningful interactions and conversions within Telegram’s ecosystem.
For advertisers looking to capitalize on the intersection of crypto, blockchain, and messaging apps, PropellerAds’ Telegram Mini Apps traffic is the ultimate solution.
