$ALT AltLayer: The Infrastructure Powering the Modular Rollup Revolution
AltLayer is a decentralized protocol and a Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform designed to solve the critical challenges of blockchain scalability, security, and decentralization. It sits at the forefront of the modular blockchain movement, making it simple for developers to launch highly customized Layer 2 (L2) execution layers.
AltLayer’s core innovation lies in its concept of Restaked Rollups, a unique fusion of existing rollup technologies (like OP Stack and ZK Stack) with EigenLayer's restaking mechanism for enhanced security.
⚙️ Core Technology: Restaked Rollups
AltLayer does not force projects to use a single type of rollup; instead, it provides a modular infrastructure that can reinforce existing rollups with extra layers of security and speed. This is achieved through three integrated, on-demand Actively Validated Services (AVSes):
VITAL (Decentralized Verification): Ensures the correctness of the rollup's state by allowing decentralized operators to monitor and verify state roots, enhancing trust and security.
MACH (Fast Finality): Provides rapid transaction confirmation. It allows operators to restake Ethereum-based assets to cryptographically guarantee the rollup's state, drastically reducing the time it takes for transactions to be considered final.
SQUAD (Decentralized Sequencing): Eliminates the single point of failure risk inherent in single-sequencer rollups by providing a decentralized sequencing service with economic backing.
🛠️ Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) Platform
The practical heart of AltLayer is its no-code RaaS launchpad. This platform allows developers—even those with limited blockchain experience—to deploy a custom, application-specific rollup in minutes with just a few clicks.
