With the conclusion of the third round of the testnet on September 27, Lumoz has officially entered the countdown to its mainnet launch. The number of participating nodes in Lumoz's third round of the testnet reached 752, attracting over 1 million users and submitting a total of over 7 million validations. This article will break down Lumoz's ecological development strategy and business competition strategy to explore how new players should correctly enter the ZK-Rollup ecological track.

Starting from the Technical Foundation: Innovating OP Stack + ZK Technology Optimization Architecture

From a technical perspective, Lumoz's technical team and overall strength can be described as luxurious.

Lumoz is a globally distributed modular computing network that combines with the DePIN network to provide users with a powerful, secure, and flexible computing platform. This network focuses on providing advanced zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) services, supporting the development of Rollup networks, and providing strong computing power for cutting-edge technologies such as AI. Lumoz effectively addresses the high costs and low efficiency issues faced by Rollup projects while lowering the threshold for ordinary users to participate in the ZK computing market. Since 2023, Lumoz has completed Seed, Pre-A, and Strategic rounds of financing, with participating VCs including OKX Ventures, HashKey Capital, Polygon, Kucoin Ventures, IDG Blockchain, among others, raising a total of over $14 million.

Lumoz's OP Stack + ZK technology optimization architecture has brought revolutionary improvements on multiple levels. By integrating ZK-Proof technology, Lumoz has created a brand new zk-proposer component, significantly reducing integration and maintenance costs. Meanwhile, with on-chain data synchronization and an optimized proof process, the overall security and stability of the network have been unprecedentedly enhanced.

The uniqueness of this architecture lies in the optimization of the ZK Fraud Proof module, allowing nodes to quickly achieve a seamless switch from OP-Stack to zk-Verifier, further enhancing the flexibility of the entire ecosystem. Additionally, by replacing the traditional challenge mechanism with non-interactive ZK proofs, Lumoz has accelerated the verification process, setting a new benchmark for the scalability of blockchain networks. While improving speed, security, and flexibility, Lumoz's new solution also ensures a high degree of consistency between on-chain data and off-chain states through logical optimization of verification contracts, truly achieving a balance between technological innovation and practical application.

In terms of the testnet, based on the participation of over 280,000 people and more than 60 cooperative ecological projects in the first two rounds, the third round of the testnet has significantly increased these figures to over 1 million participants and over 200 cooperative ecological projects; in terms of node sales, since the sale of nodes began in June, node sales have been booming, with Tier 8 nodes nearly sold out, and the cumulative number of nodes sold exceeding 80,000 (out of a total of 100,000), with an FDV exceeding $160 million.

A solid technical foundation is a fundamental guarantee for occupying an ecological niche, but to stand out in this competitive track, it is still necessary to find some "creative deviations."

ZK-RaaS Selling Shovels: How to Promote the Prosperity of Its Own Ecosystem

How can one ensure a win in the casino—by being the dealer selling chips. In Lumoz's ZK-RaaS ecosystem, Lumoz plays the role of the "shovel seller," providing key infrastructure support to other projects, helping them reduce costs and improve efficiency. Projects like Merlin and HashKey Chain can avoid building complex Rollup infrastructures by using Lumoz's ZK-RaaS services, directly leveraging Lumoz's powerful ZK-Rollup and hybrid consensus mechanism, greatly enhancing system security and operational efficiency. Lumoz's decentralized Prover mechanism ensures that multiple miners can participate in ZKP calculations simultaneously, allowing these projects to confirm transactions faster while also reducing reliance on single points of failure. This technology not only saves project parties hardware and operational costs but also ensures their security and scalability when facing large user volumes and transaction volumes.

For users, by participating in Lumoz's node operations, users have the opportunity to receive airdrop rewards from multiple public chains, which essentially provides them with a ticket to enter dozens of public chain ecosystems. This approach allows users to profit within a broader ecosystem, increasing their stickiness and participation in Lumoz. Lumoz continues to expand partnerships, and its innovative ZK-RaaS business model has attracted numerous Layer2 projects such as ZKFair, Merlin, Duckchain, Ultiverse, and HashKey Chain, as well as chains based on Lumoz that are being issued or are about to be launched.

Additionally, the recent addition of projects like Moongate, 0G Labs, and Swan Chain has injected new vitality into the Lumoz ecosystem. By continuously expanding market cooperation, Lumoz not only maintains a technological edge but also gains widespread recognition in the market, promoting rapid expansion of the ecosystem and forming a prosperous situation driven by both technological innovation and market application. This model benefits both project parties and users while further consolidating Lumoz's leadership position in the ZK-RaaS track.

In the RaaS track, Lumoz demonstrates strong advantages with its ZK-Rollup technology. Based on cryptographic foundations, Lumoz's ZK-Rollup not only enhances the security of data and transactions, but its PoS and ZK-POW hybrid consensus mechanism also ensures decentralization and resource mobilization capabilities. The market-oriented computing power mechanism of ZK-POW effectively incentivizes miners to participate, providing ample support for the computational needs of ZK-Rollup. In contrast, other RaaS projects typically rely on a single consensus mechanism, making it difficult to compete in terms of security and scalability. Lumoz also supports multi-chain deployment, granting developers greater flexibility to choose the appropriate chain based on their needs. This architecture not only meets the current technical requirements of RaaS services but also provides strong expansion support for more complex applications in the future, such as AI processing, giving Lumoz a unique advantage in the RaaS track.

Future Outlook: Opportunities and Challenges Coexist

As Lumoz officially enters the countdown to its mainnet launch, enormous opportunities and challenges coexist. With its innovative ZK-PoW algorithm and robust ZK-RaaS ecosystem, Lumoz has already proven its technical capabilities and market appeal during the testnet phase. Against the backdrop of the upcoming mainnet and TGE launch, Lumoz is expected to continue expanding its ecosystem, attracting more projects and users to join.

However, as competition intensifies, Lumoz still faces numerous challenges in further optimizing technology, maintaining decentralization, and responding to ever-changing market demands. Currently, Lumoz is at the forefront, amidst high enthusiasm, with voices of support and opposition from the community rising and falling. How to maintain a leading edge in technological innovation after the official mainnet launch and ensure the continuous attraction of high-quality ecological partners and community cohesion will be key to future success.

Ultimately, only technology + strength + community is the true core growth strategy for any project.
