In this article, we’ll provide a comprehensive overview of Lagrange and explain its origin and inner workings, as well as the tokenomics of its native token, LA.

Artificial Intelligence is widely believed to be the most impactful technology of the twenty-first century. However, the industry faces two major challenges: reliability and privacy. Lagrange aims to address both of these concerns using blockchain technology, and to propel AI into a new paradigm. 

In this article, we’ll provide a comprehensive overview of Lagrange and explain its origin and inner workings, as well as the tokenomics of its native token, LA. We’ll also guide you through a step-by-step process for trading Lagrange’s LA token on Bybit.

, inspired by the mathematician and astronomer Joseph-Louis Lagrange, began as a venture using cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs to solve interoperability challenges between blockchain protocols. However, Lagrange’s scope has evolved beyond solely cross-chain solutions. The project now aims to unlock data-intensive and cross-chain use cases by enabling verifiable computation over blockchain data through its hyper-parallel ZK Coprocessor. Furthermore, Lagrange’s State Committees generate state proofs for 

, supporting secure interoperability via protocols like LayerZero, Axelar and Polymer.

Lagrange has also launched DeepProve, a groundbreaking zkML (zero-knowledge machine learning) library designed to make verifiable AI inferences faster and more scalable than ever — up to 158x faster than the leading zkML solution.

The project has successfully raised a total of $17.2 million across two rounds from noted investors like Maven11, Lattice Fund, CMT Digital, Founders Fund and Archetype Ventures.

, a cryptographic technique that allows one party to prove the validity of a computation without revealing its underlying data. It combines a ZK proving technique called DeepProve with its ZK Coprocessor and Prover Network. This combination enables complex tasks to be computed while providing on-chain verifiability that they were executed as intended. Let’s look at each of these components in detail below.

Lagrange’s zero-knowledge machine learning (zkML) framework allows developers to cryptographically prove the correctness of AI model inferences without revealing the underlying model parameters or data. This can be used by projects to protect their proprietary data while proving the authenticity of the output.

By utilizing advanced cryptographic techniques, DeepProve achieves proving times that are significantly faster than previous zkML solutions. For example, it can prove the inference of a neural network 

Lagrange has pioneered an SQL-based ZK Coprocessor that’s designed for performing complex off-chain computations on data and verifying the results on-chain with cryptographic proofs. To achieve this goal, blockchain data is transformed into a ZK-friendly format. Provers use this data to perform intensive off-chain computations and generate ZK proofs that attest to the correctness of the computations. These proofs are then submitted to 

 on-chain, enabling trustless verification without revealing the underlying data.

The Prover Network is a decentralized network system for generating ZK proofs at scale. The participants include well-known institutions like Coinbase, OKX, P2P and many more. They perform computational tasks off-chain, and are rewarded for their service. Each Prover participant is required to stake via 

, and is penalized for delays or malicious activities in order to ensure the network’s reliability.

In addition to these three components, Lagrange has also introduced Lagrange State Committees, a decentralized network that acts as a ZK light client protocol for optimistic rollups like 

.These nodes monitor rollup activity and attest to the finality of blocks. Their collective signatures are aggregated into succinct ZK proofs that applications can use to verify rollup states without waiting for lengthy challenge periods.

LA token utility, distribution and listing

The LA token is integral to Lagrange’s decentralized ZK infrastructure, as it’s used for facilitating proof generation fees, staking and governance participation. The total supply of LA is capped at 1 billion, and as of Jun 2025, 193 million of these tokens are in circulation. During the initial distribution,34.8% of the tokens were allocated to the community, 25.4% to early contributors, 18.5% to the foundation and 21.3% to investors.

Tether (USDT) is the world's most traded cryptocurrency, ahead of even the market flagbearer 

 (BTC). Launched in 2014, USDT is the oldest surviving 

 in the crypto industry. It acts as a go-to asset for on-ramping, off-ramping and numerous other use cases where its stable rate based on the US dollar is useful. Most importantly, USDT is the top choice for spot and derivatives operations at many exchanges. 

Bybit offers you a broad selection to use USDT for your crypto trading. From basic swap operations to the most advanced forms of automated derivatives trading, you can use USDT on Bybit to derive profit. USDT offers the most complete set of trading options on the exchange, making it ideal for traders of all experience levels.

This article will cover all the primary ways you can utilize USDT for crypto trading on Bybit, depending upon your preferred risk profiles and preferences. If you think that USDT is for asset value preservation only, these trading alternatives may very well change your opinion.

 (USDT) is a USD-pegged stablecoin backed by cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits and commercial paper held in Tether's reserves. 

In an industry in which most other assets may jump and decline violently based on news, online hype and other factors, USDT retains its stable rate of nearly $1 at nearly all times. USDT is supported on multiple blockchains, such as 

 (TRX), granting it great flexibility and compatibility.

. You can buy the stablecoin via Bybit's 

 (P2P) trading market by placing a buyer ad or selecting from existing seller ads. Another way is via the platform's One-Click Buy function, which offers you the option to quickly purchase USDT using your preferred payment method, such as your Visa or Mastercard bank card, bank account or favorite external wallet, such as Google Pay. One-Click Buy is a convenient and user-friendly option that speeds up buying USDT.

, a Mastercard-powered crypto debit card, and 

, an easy-to-use option to swap cryptocurrencies without waiting for your orders to be matched on the platform's trading markets.

All USDT purchase options are available in most countries through the Bybit website and app, allowing customers to transact securely and transparently.

Once you have USDT funds in your wallet, you can use them for trading via several channels on Bybit. Below, we cover the main ways to put your USDT to use on Bybit, beginning with lower-risk trading all the way to high-risk alternatives suitable for experienced traders.

 is the most basic and low-risk option for trading USDT on Bybit. You can carry out a variety of Spot trades — direct swaps of one crypto for another at either current prices or some prespecified target price. Three main Spot order types are available: 

 and conditional orders. Using market orders, the simplest form of Spot trading, you can buy or sell USDT for another crypto asset at the immediately available price. 

Limit orders allow you to buy or sell USDT when its rate against some other cryptocurrency reaches a certain level. Conditional orders are executed when some predefined conditions set by the trader are met. In essence, limit orders are a simple subtype of conditional orders.

You may also automate your USDT Spot trading using Bybit’s 

, which enables you to set up automated execution of grid trades. Grid trading involves specifying multiple price points above and below a specific base price. Upon reaching the target price levels, your trades are automatically executed. Bybit’s Spot Grid Bot features enhanced features, such as a maximum of 200 grids, using both assets in a pair for bot activation, real-time parameter adjustments and more. The bot also simplifies your grid strategy and reduces any possible manual trading errors. 

, which offers a combination of various other assets, including crypto, gold, other commodities, forex, indices and stocks via

Bybit Pre-Market Trading (low-to-medium risk) 

You can also put your USDT funds to use with 

 — an over-the-counter (OTC) platform that lets you buy and sell promising, early-stage tokens before their public listings on the main Spot market. This is an excellent way to invest in new tokens using your USDT at potentially favorable prices before the rest of the crowd receives access to them. 

A key advantage of Pre-Market Trading is the rigorous vetting process that Bybit applies to ensure that only tokens with solid fundamentals and potential qualify for listing. This eliminates the bulk of risk involved in buying newly launched cryptocurrencies. The stringent selection process also reduces the time required to research the tokens, allowing you to focus on other trading and analysis activities.

 involves replicating the market moves of some established, experienced trader to benefit from their expertise and efficiency. It’s one of the most efficient ways for beginners to become profitable from day one of their trading career. It may also suit more experienced traders who’d like to spend less time analyzing the market and placing trades. All you need to do is pick a trader you’d like to follow and set up an automated strategy of copying their trades.

The trader whose orders are copied is known as the

 who are willing to adopt higher-risk strategies can benefit from Perpetual and Options contracts, Bybit’s main Derivatives products.

, or Perps, are futures contracts settled in USDT that track the price of some underlying cryptocurrency, such as BTC or ETH. These contracts have no expiration dates and can be settled whenever you decide to do so. By holding a Perpetuals contract, you don't assume direct ownership of the asset. Instead, the contract simply tracks the asset's price, and the trader only owns the crypto once they’ve claimed it by closing their position.

 charged every eight hours. Contracts that align with the prevailing market sentiment — e.g., long Perps on a coin when the market is also long on it — are charged the funding fees. On the other hand, contracts that go against the prevailing market direction receive the funding fees. 

Bybit offers a variety of trading bots to automate your Perpetuals trading. The 

 is designed to automate grid-based Perps. There's also the

Bybit Pre-Market Perpetuals (high risk) 

 enable you to speculate on the future price of early-stage, promising tokens before their main public listings via Perps contracts. In an earlier section, we covered the Pre-Market Spot platform, on which you directly buy these tokens. In contrast, Pre-Market Perpetuals allow you to speculate on the future prices of these assets without directly purchasing them.

 allows you to buy and sell two related instruments in order to hedge against market risks or profit from price discrepancies. Simultaneously, you take long and short positions on your targeted asset to balance the risks. For instance, you may Long/Buy BTC via the Spot market and open a Short/Sell Perpetuals contract for BTC.

The wide variety of trading options above gives you unparalleled flexibility to use your USDT for buying and trading with Bybit. Beginners may start with less risky options in order to avoid losing money in the volatile world of crypto, while experienced pros can certainly consider riskier — but also more potentially rewarding — opportunities. One thing is certain: Irrespective of your experience level, Bybit has something to offer you to put your USDT funds to active use.

This article will explore what MiCAR entails, detail Bybit EU's journey to obtaining this license and introduce the tangible benefits that it brings to crypto traders and investors in the EEA.

 (Bybit EU) recently achieved a major milestone by 

 in Austria. This is a landmark development for users across the European Economic Area (EEA). This article will explore what MiCAR entails, detail Bybit EU's journey to obtaining this license and introduce the tangible benefits that it brings to crypto traders and investors in the EEA.

What is the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR)?

, or MiCAR, is a comprehensive framework established by the European Union to regulate the crypto asset market. Introduced by the European Commission in 2020 and formally approved in 2023, MiCAR's full implementation started on Dec 30, 2024, with certain provisions for 

The primary goal of MiCAR is to create a harmonized regulatory environment for crypto assets across all EU member states. It aims to enhance transparency, ensure robust consumer protection, prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and guarantee the stability of the crypto market within the region. MiCAR applies to 29 countries within the EEA. It aims to establish a unified standard for crypto asset service providers (CASPs) and foster a safer, more reliable ecosystem for everyone involved.

In May 2025, Bybit achieved a significant regulatory milestone: Bybit Europe, operating under Bybit EU GmbH, 

 from Austria's Financial Market Authority (FMA). This officially designates Bybit EU as a regulated CASP and grants passporting rights, enabling us to offer regulated products and services to nearly 500 million people across 29 EEA member states.

Bybit chose Austria as its EEA hub because of the country’s forward-thinking regulatory environment and strong commitment to financial innovation. In addition to obtaining this license, Bybit has established Bybit EU's official European headquarters in Vienna. This new base will be pivotal for our operations throughout the EEA, allowing us to better serve the European crypto community with localized and compliant offerings.

What does this licensure mean for EU crypto users?

This development brings important changes designed to enhance the trading experience for our users in the EEA. Bybit EU GmbH is now the dedicated entity for residents within this region. The EEA includes Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden (Note, however, that services via Bybit EU will not be available to Maltese residents at this time.)

Effective immediately, new users residing in the EEA can no longer register on the global Bybit platform. Instead, they’re invited to pre-register on the new 

. Starting Jul 1, 2025, the full Bybit EU platform will go live. On this date, existing users from eligible EEA countries will also be able to onboard to the new, fully licensed European platform, ensuring they can continue to access our services within a compliant framework.

Benefits for EU crypto traders and investors

The MiCAR framework — and Bybit EU's compliance with it — brings numerous advantages for our users. MiCAR's stringent standards translate to enhanced security measures, greater operational transparency and significantly improved consumer protection. Its framework is designed to reduce risks associated with fraud and financial crime, providing a safer trading environment.

Bybit EU is focused on delivering a suite of tailored and regulated products and services specifically for the European market. Initially, this will include seamless fiat on-ramp and off-ramp solutions, 

 for everyday crypto spending. Bybit is also establishing a dedicated EU customer support team to ensure users across the EEA receive timely assistance in various languages. This commitment to regulatory compliance and user-centric service is designed to boost trust and provide a reliable platform for all your crypto activities.

Bybit EU's MiCAR license is more than just regulatory approval — it's a foundational step toward fostering broader crypto adoption across Europe. This license allows us to tap into a vibrant market of nearly 500 million people, offering them secure and compliant access to the world of digital assets. Bybit is committed to investing in Austria's dynamic fintech and blockchain ecosystem, and to cultivating local talent and driving innovation. Our plans include hiring over 100 professionals in Vienna in order to support our European expansion.

, "We are actively collaborating with regulators and pursuing licenses globally to ensure our users can access our innovative platform with the highest levels of regulatory and compliance assurance."

Existing EEA users can switch over to Bybit EU from July 1, 2025. All eligible new users from the EEA can
