🧩 AltLayer (ALT) – “Restaked Rollups”: Accelerating Modular Ethereum L2s

(Data updated until 07/2025 and is just basic information about the project to facilitate basic evaluation – Not investment advice)

(many of my peers are into this, so this information may be necessary for holders)


🧭 Project overview

- @alt_layer is an open protocol supporting the launch of Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS), creating easy-to-deploy specialized Layer-2s compatible with EVM/WASM (from Blogtienao)

- Differentiation in the mechanism of Restaked Rollups – integration with EigenLayer to utilize restaked ETH, creating 3 services: VITAL (verify state), MACH (finality), SQUAD (sequencing) to enhance security, speed, and decentralization

- Integrated ecosystem: OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, Polygon CDK, zkSync ZKStack, EigenDA, Celestia… along with SDK/no-code dashboard for easy development


📅 Important timeline (2024 – 07/2025)

- Jan 17, 2024: Launch of ALT token – $22.8 million raised in private funding, Launchpool on Binance (500M ALT)

- Mar 2024: Integration of AVS services (VITAL/MACH/SQUAD), completing Restaked Rollups

Jul 23, 2024: Change in token vesting schedule, transparency in unlock timeline

- Jun 9, 2025: Integration of “Fast Finality Layer” for Soneium (Sony) – reducing finality time >98%, aiming for 7 million users

- Jun 26, 2025: Supporting Gattaca-based rollups – enhancing security and interoperability

- Jun 16, 2025: ALT listed on Upbit, expanding liquidity

- Jul 5, 2025: Expanding support for Polkadot rollups, launching website and community program


🤝 Partnerships & strategic collaborations

- Linked with EigenLayer, Espresso, Astria, Radius, Celestia, Avail, OP Stack, ZK Stack, etc. to build a strong modular system

- Partnership with RISC Zero, OP Labs in security, MEV, sequencing, privacy

- Sony Soneium has integrated Fast Finality; Upbit listing increases market accessibility.


💰 Revenue & operational fees

- No official data on fees yet; however, the restake + AVS model could generate revenue from staking fees, finality fees, sequencing fees

- Like other rollups, fees are shared between token validators and the protocol treasury


📊 Tokenomics & ALT price

- Current price $ALT : ~$0.028–0.029; Market Cap: ~$135 million; FDV: ~$285 million; Circulating: ~3.8 billion / Max: 10 billion ALT

- ATH: ~$0.68 (Mar 29, 2024); ATL: ~$0.0226 (Apr 7, 2025)

- Current price down ~96% from ATH, but has recovered ~28% from ATL

- Tokenomics allocation: Treasury 21.5%, Dev 20%, Investors 18.5%, Team 15%, Ecosystem 15%, Launchpool 5%, Advisors 5%

- Token unlock date July 25, 2025: ~240 million ALT (~2.4% supply)


⚙️ Technology & dev

- Structure includes RaaS, restaked AVS (VITAL/MACH/SQUAD), supports multi-VM EVM/WASM, SDK & no-code IDE

- Supporting ephemeral rollups – quickly create/stop L2 cycles as per app demand

- Commitment to decentralization of sequencing nodes and integration of data availability via EigenDA, Celestia.


🛣️ Roadmap & vision 2025

- Q3 2025: launch of permissionless RollApps, optimize block time, enhance UX & developer experience

- Expanding RaaS for DeFi, gaming, AI agents, infra-service use cases.

- Strengthening community & validator decentralization (support Polkadot, Cosmos)


⚠️ Strengths & challenges

✅ Restaked rollups use security from EigenLayer, increasing security & finality

✅ Integrating multiple rollup stacks, supporting quick deployment for developers

✅ Partnership with Sony, Upbit increases visibility & credibility

⚠️ Market cap only ~$100M, needs to increase real usage

⚠️ Deep price drop causing wait-and-see sentiment

⚠️ Strong competition from Arbitrum Orbit, Optimism Superchain, zkSync, Polygon CDK, Celestia


🧾 Conclusion

AltLayer innovates the RaaS + Restaked Rollups model providing strong infrastructure for modular L2s. The project has deeply integrated with the modular system (OP Stack, Celestia), partnered with Sony, listed on Upbit, and is preparing for permissionless RollApps. With flexible tokenomics and the next roadmap for Q3/2025, AltLayer could become a key infrastructure for next-gen L2s. However, it needs to drive adoption through the launch of real rollups & increase TVL usage…
