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!

AltLayer 🤝 Sei


We are excited to partner with Sei to make it easier for devs to launch the groundbreaking ‘Parallel Stack’. It will empower hundreds of rollups to unlock parallelized execution on Ethereum!

Devs building on EVM will greatly benefit from a parallel runtime to address throughput bottlenecks & restricted design spaces and allow for more performant and feature-rich applications.

Our RaaS offers a fast, reliable, and robust service to customize & deploy rollups in minutes! Our restaked rollups will enable Parallel Stack rollups to benefit from EigenLayer's restaking mechanism alongside parallelized execution of transactions!

Thrilled to kick this off with Sei!

AltLayer 🤝 Xterio

We're pumped to partner with Xterio Games to launch the first-ever gaming & AI-centric Restaked Rollup that taps into EigenLayer's shared security model. The chain operates as an L2 settling on Ethereum, using Optimism's OP stack & EigenDA for its data availability needs.

We will manage the Xterio chain & implement MACH: an AVS offering fast finality with economic security to upgrade performance. Dual staking of restaked ETH assets powered by EigenLayer and AltLayer will launch soon to safeguard the Xterio gaming universe!

Proud to help Xterio in their mission to onboard billions of gamers and bring AI-powered Web3 games to everyone.

Let's restake/accelerate & play infinite sum games with Xterio 🎮 🚀

AltLayer’s MACH AVS Goes Live on Testnet

Inviting all ETH and LST delegators to test out MACH -- a fast finality AVS for Optimism's OP Mainnet and Arbitrum One.

MACH AVS is now live on the Holesky testnet!

User Delegation Guide: https://blog.altlayer.io/altlayers-mach-avs-goes-live-on-testnet-ec12f78cf6aa

MACH will be the first AVS under the restaked rollup framework to serve two of the largest rollups, viz. OP Mainnet and Arbitrum One.

By delegating ETH/LSTs with ALT tokens, the economic collateral deposited will be used to secure the validation of a rollup’s state & offer fast finality! Testing MACH is a vital step towards the mainnet launch & we hope you can all be part of it!

Congratulations to our partner EigenDA on their mainnet launch. 🎉🎉 This marks the first AVS leveraging restaking on mainnet!

We’re supporting the newly launched EigenDA by operating a node fully run and managed by AltLayer.

Join us by delegating your assets to our EigenDA operator as we play infinite sum games ♾️!

👉 Delegation Tutorial:

https://blog.altlayer.io/altlayer-run-eigenda-operator-is-live-on-mainnet-5e1b15a0d307


Why delegate to AltLayer? Our extensive RaaS experience underscores our deep understanding of the technical intricacies and operational nuances involved with an infrastructure such as EigenDA and therefore uniquely positions us to operate EigenDA.

Moreover, AltLayer is deeply involved in the EigenLayer ecosystem. We will be launching several AVS viz. MACH, VITAL and SQUAD as a part of our restaked rollup framework which will provide improved security, decentralization and faster finality to rollups.

Our commitment to supporting EigenDA is rooted in our belief in the potential of restaking and the need for a cheaper, scalable and secure DA layer. By operating a secure and reliable node, we aim to bolster EigenDA's infrastructure and help facilitate its growth.

We are super stoked to announce that two AltLayer-powered Actively Validated Services (AVS) are now live on EigenLayer mainnet.

♾️ AltLayer MACH AVS to serve Optimism mainnet
♾️ Xterio MACH AVS to serve XterioGames’ OP Stack rollup mainnet

These are one of the very first AVSes on EigenLayer to go mainnet following the launch of EigenDA.

For those new to MACH, it is a fast finality layer set up for a given rollup and operates as an AVS, where users can restake ETH or LSTs, with any of the registered operators. The economic collateral delegated to secure MACH is then used to attest to the validity of a given rollup’s state.

Unlike Ethereum, that takes about 12 mins to finalize transactions, or the rollup sequencer that gives pre-confirmations but lacks economic backing, MACH which is built as an overlay network on top of Ethereum can give fast pre-confirmations with economic backing via restaking.
Check out the linked blogpost for more details on the two MACHs and how to engage as an operator or delegator.

Let’s play infinite sum games together ♾️!

Unveiling Dual Staking for MACHs, allowing users to stake ALT alongside restaked ETH. Dual staking debuts with Xterio MACH – a fast finality AVS on eigenlayer mainnet for XterioGames.

Dual stakers will be rewarded with upcoming Xterio ecosystem rewards.

📣 A few hours ago, we reset ALT main staking pool's unstaking cooldown period to 0. This will have two key benefits:

🥩 Remove the barrier for unstaking and encourage more stakers to engage.
🔄 Allow users to swap from the main staking pool to any other MACH AVS ALT pools (e.g., Xterio MACH).

Our vision: With the launch of our MACH AVS on EigenLayer mainnet, we are now ready to start the transition of ALT staking to restaking. This transition will take a multi-phase approach.

In the first and immediate phase, we will be resetting the ALT main staking pool's unstaking cooldown period to 0. This means stakers can choose to swap from the main pool to any other MACH AVS ALT pools, e.g., Xterio ALT launchpool without waiting for the 21-day cooldown period to pass.

In the next phases, we plan to change the reward mechanism to allow stakers to earn both ALT and the launchpool rewards at the same time. The portal will also adapt to EigenLayer's upcoming reward mechanism. Stay tuned for more info on this!

Please note that all MACH AVS pools will still have a 21-day cooldown period. The 0 cooldown period only applies to the ALT main staking pool. Hence, a restaker of ALT will still need to decide which MACH AVS pool he/she wishes to pledge his/her assets to.

Restake away folks! We are eager to transition ALT into a new restaking collateral.

AltLayer 🤝 Brevis

AltLayer will be integrating Brevis - a smart ZK coprocessor - into our restaked rollups, bringing trustless data access and computation to all dApps!🔥
