AltLayer 🤝 Injective

are creating the first-ever restaking security framework for on-chain inEVM applications.

AltLayer's restaked rollup product MACH will join the Injective ecosystem to provide fast finality to inEVM!

2x the security, scalability, speed!

Drawing on our restaked rollups expertise, AltLayer's AVS-based MACH product for fast finality will be integrated into inEVM, providing not just super-speed but also protecting users with Ethereum-derived security ⚡🛡️

We're eager to work together to bring billions in assets into the inEVM world and help devs buidl better, right as we enter the blobosphere with
Ethereum!

Proud to Restake/Accelerate with Injective!

AltLayer 🤝 Lagrange

Great news! Lagrange's co-processor will now be available to all rollups serviced by AltLayer. By integrating their parallel prover into our rollups, innovative new zk-compute features will be easily available to our users!

We will also act as an operator for Lagrange's coprocessor and state committee AVS. Given that our restaked rollups are essentially AVS products that offer decentralized sequencing, fast finality & reliable verification, it's a natural fit.

Devs - you can soon experience our rollups elevated by Lagrange's parallel prover. Their coprocessor generates zk proofs, allowing you to verify the integrity of the result of your computation on-chain; removing uncertainties around trust for off-chain provers altogether!

Excited to Restake/accelerate with Lagrange!
