About

Lu Heng is the founder and CEO of LARUS, a company focused on IPv4 infrastructure and first-party address leasing. His work centers on the economic and legal structure of Internet number resources, particularly the implications of IPv4 scarcity and the structural risks that arise when high-value network assets are administered by institutions with limited liability.

He is also the founder of i.lease, an IPv4 marketplace platform, the LARUS Foundation, and the operator of the .help top-level domain registry. Heng has been actively involved in global discussions on Internet governance, registry stability, and the long-term alignment between routing reality and registry authority.

Through his writing and public commentary, he examines the intersection of Internet infrastructure, property rights, and governance systems. His essays and notes are published on his personal site, heng.lu.
