AltLayer x MyShell

AltLayer is delighted to work with MyShell to deploy their upcoming Layer2, which is powered by EigenDA and Optimism.
This AI consumer layer aims to make blockchain frictionless for 1.2M web3+ AI users.

AltLayer will manage and deploy MyShell's testnet, which goes live next week!

MyShell taps into the Optimism stack's security, low-cost, high throughput features & EigenDA's secure DA sampling to create a frictionless, decentralized haven for AI creators.

Stay tuned for the testnet details of this exciting project by following @myshell_ai on Twitter - coming SOON!

AltLayer 🤝 Nebra

AltLayer is thrilled to boost its rollup infrastructure using Nebra's cutting-edge proof aggregation tech, which can reduce overall verification fees up to 1/10th!

Why Proof Aggregation? Well - verifying ZK proofs on-chain is so expensive! Devs have spent $50M+ in gas fees to verify proofs on Ethereum and its Layer 2s. Proof aggregation combines the proofs into one unit, making it more efficient and affordable to get verified on-chain quickly.

Nebra's Universal Proof Aggregation (UPA) is the perfect solution.

This integration will enable AltLayer's users & dApps to benefit from substantial cost reductions, particularly during periods of high transaction volumes, while maintaining the highest levels of security & integrity.

AltLayer’s rollups will be integrated with Polyhedra's zkBridge features - enriching trustless & secure cross-chain interoperability across 30+ L1/ L2 networks, & enabling devs to build more sophisticated dApps 🚀

We will also be a node operator for Polyhedra’s Bitcoin dual-staking AVS leveraging EigenLayer. Thanks to this dual staking model, the bridge will enjoy higher decentralization & network security - paving the way to a frictionless user experience!

Devs deploying via our RaaS will enjoy greater security, interoperability & a smooth on-chain experience with minimal gas consumption.

They will benefit from fast message passing and secure asset bridging.

AltLayer 🤝 Inco

Confidential service integration for rollups is now here, thanks to our partnership with Inco!

Their Universal Confidential Computing Layer tech enables a variety of new dApps that require computing over confidential and private data.

In addition to the scalability, decentralization, and security in our rollups, devs can now enjoy confidentiality features in their dApps via Inco.

★ INTRODUCING reALT ★

The restaked ALT token - 'reALT' - is here, ushering in Phase II of our staking program!

What is reALT?
reALT is an auto-compounding ERC20 share token that captures a user's ALT staking contribution & accumulates the compounding rewards earned.

How does it benefit our ecosystem?
With reALT, you can participate simultaneously in many pools to maximize exposure & choice and benefit from auto-compounding.

Once issued, redirect reALT to supporting launchpools like Xterio to earn additional rewards & secure MACH!

OFFICIAL PORTAL: https://stake.altlayer.io/stake

DETAILS: https://blog.altlayer.io/altlayer-staking-enters-phase-ii-with-restaked-alt-realt-token-117a222729f4

❗Important Note for Existing Xterio LaunchPool stakers❗ Enjoy seamless migration from Phase I-II of staking.

AltLayer will deprecate the existing Xterio LaunchPool & facilitate rapid migration to the reALT-powered pool.
➡️ Tutorial ⬅️
https://docs.altlayer.io/altlayer-documentation/alt-staking/migration-from-xterio-legacy-alt-pool-to-xterio-restaked-alt-pool

We reset Xterio's Phase I LaunchPool cooldown period to 0 days, which will apply to all future LaunchPools.

The cooldown period for ALT staking will temporarily remain at 0 days, and on May 9 (7 days from now) it will be updated to 21 days.

📢 Restaked Rollup (MACH) Adds Support for Arbitrum One Mainnet

AltLayer’s fast-finality AVS 'MACH’ now supports Arbitrum One Mainnet! This major integration extends the power of Eigenlayer via restaked rollups to one of the most active L2 crypto ecosystems!

Users and dApps on Arbitrum One can now leverage MACH and benefit from (a) Faster finality with economic backing; (b) State verification with a shared security guarantee and (c) Faster interoperability.

AltLayer MACH also offers streamed access to rollup states/blocks for exchanges, bridges, explorers & other ancillary services in the Arbitrum ecosystem. By tapping into AltLayer MACH, these providers in the Arbitrum ecosystem can offer a faster service to the end users! 🔥

AtLayer MACH is proud to be the newest AVS supported by the Coinbase operator

Coinbase's engagement in EigenLayer and AltLayer's ecosystem, and their endorsement of AVS, will play a big role in bringing thousands more into the restaked rollups world, and ring in a new era for Ethereum 🌎

Welcoming you to delegate to Coinbase's operator using this guide: https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/delegation/docs/eigenlayer-delegation/

To recap, MACH (fast-finality) is part of AltLayer's comprehensive AVS suite, designed to accelerate Ethereum and advance its mission. The others include VITAL (verification) & SQUAD (decentralized sequencing). Together, these act as a powerful engine to enhance rollup performance 🚀

MACH, which supports both ZK and optimistic rollups, provides fast confirmation for rollup transactions, crypto-economic security & support for different proof systems/runtimes. MACH can verify the validity of rolllup states in various modes ⚡

Staking plays a central part in securing our restaked rollup products. By leveraging Eigenlayer's restaking mechanism, the collateral deposited to secure MACH is then used to attest to the validity of rollups.

In turn, our trusted network of operators and supporters grow the AVS world.

INTRODUCING WIZARD 🪄
The world’s first AVS-as-a-Service platform designed to hyper-accelerate AVS adoption

AltLayer has introduced the first AVS-as-a-Service platform offering rapid AVS deployment and management for builders in the EigenLayer ecosystem. Called “WIZARD,” this platform empowers builders to leverage Actively Validated Services (AVSs) using templatized tools, creating a 10x faster and 100x easier experience than manual AVS deployment.

WIZARD features a sleek and simple UI/UX and offers services like faster finality, and bridges - helping hyper-scale AVS adoption without worry, and reducing deployment time from months to minutes!

With Wizard, we’ve made a big leap forward in growing and enriching the restaking ecosystem.
