AltLayer. Or just ALT. A new player, new blood, and perhaps a new headache for the old school. As the saying goes: 'While you were sleeping, the world was changing.'
So, what is AltLayer? Imagine Layer 2, but on steroids. It’s not just another rollup protocol — it’s an army of rollups united under one banner with decentralization, speed, and the restaking mechanism from EigenLayer. The names sound like they were invented by a crazy person on energy drinks: VITAL, MACH, SQUAD. But the essence is brilliant. You take the entire zoo from OP Stack, zkSync, Arbitrum, Polygon, and… combine them for the blockchain.
At the time of writing, ALT is trading at $0.036. Modest? Perhaps. But don't forget: with a market capitalization of around $90 million and a circulating supply of 2.79 billion tokens — this is just the warm-up. Remember Solana when it was $0.20. People laughed. Today they cry — from joy or envy.
Now let's look at the rank: ALT is hovering outside the top 150. For some — an alarming signal. For others — a gold mine before the hype begins. Because if you want to be among the first, you need to get in.
And here’s the point: AltLayer is not a meme coin, not a hype empty shell. This is infrastructure. They are already collaborating with EigenLayer, Chainlink, and RISC Zero. Binance Labs is involved. These are not guys in a basement with PowerPoint, these are serious players. And if you haven’t heard of ALT until now — maybe it’s because you read The New York Times instead of blockchain forums.
Forecast?
I'm not a fortune teller, but consider this: the market cap is $90 million, the maximum is 10 billion tokens. If ALT enters at least the top 50 — that’s a $1.5–2 billion cap — we’re talking about x15–20 from the current price. And that’s without crazy speculation, just based on infrastructure potential. Add to that the possible launch of its own network layer on EigenLayer, and you have a candidate for the crypto-Oscar of 2025.
AltLayer is not just another attempt to cash in on a bull market. It’s an attempt to reshape the very fabric of the L2 ecosystem. And if all goes according to plan, ALT could become that token you bought for 3 cents and sold when it was already too late.
