INTRODUCING BLITZ! AltLayer's new fast-finality layer that taps into Babylon's BTC staking - made especially for Arbitrum Orbit chains!

BLITZ is designed to fix slow finality in optimistic rollups that Orbit chain rollups often face. BLITZ's near-instant finality is invaluable for latency-sensitive applications such as games, DeFi & SocialFi etc.

What drives BLITZ and makes it unique?
BLITZ leverages native BTC staking through Babylon to provide crypto-economic guarantees. Staked BTC acts as collateral for slashing -- keeping the fast finality providers in check!

BLITZ also enhances cross-rollup bridging - reducing liquidity fragmentation & enabling stronger cross-chain interoperability - taking the Arbitrum Orbit L2 ecosystem to a new, "super-fast" & more scalable era.

What's next? Get involved!
➡️ Staker: via Babylon's staking protocol
➡️ Orbit Chain: 📥 support@altresear.ch

ECOSYSTEM UPDATE!

Excited to integrate our RaaS with OpenLedger's rollup, which runs atop Optimism's OP Stack!

Our product will help OpenLedger's decentralized trust infra thrive, boosting performance of the datanets that fuel a dynamic & transparent AI era in Web3.

https://www.openledger.xyz/

Excited to support top exchange HashKey as they join Optimism's Superchain fam! AltLayer's rollup infra will be integral to accelerating Hashkey Chain's mainnet, expanding network capacity, and offering their users a superior, seamless experience on-chain.

⭐ Benefits deploying with Hashkey Chain ⭐
Offers complete EVM compatibility. So it's easy migration & interoperability for devs/dApps
Incorporates utility token HSK- aiding asset tokenization and sustainable, incentivized ecosystem growth

📈 Tremendous Testnet success. The chain recorded:
24.7M txns from
860,000+ wallet address
Avg block time: 2 seconds
50+ projects deployed

Sitting front-row to see how RaaS can boost this for mainnet! Let's accelerate! 🚀

Bringing fast-finality to Soneium with Astar Network: A PROPOSAL

AltLayer & Astar Network bring you an ingenious proposal to integrate a fast-finality layer to Soneium L2's rollup.

We suggest the use of our Eigenlayer-powered MACH AVS to bring fast-finality to Soneium, using restaked ASTR to secure the network ↓

MACH, built on EigenLayer's restaking mechanism + enabled by token staking, provides fast confirmation for rollup txns, crypto-economic security guarantees, support for both ZK/optimistic rollups & more.

Astar's bridged ASTR token will be leveraged for economic security alongside Eigenlayer's restaked ETH/other LSTs.

Finality in <10s. 90x faster than Ethereum. Full-blown ecosystem support 🔥 let's go!

📢 PSA: Due to an increased demand for ERC20 ALT on Binance, the ERC20 ALT liquidity on the exchange has become critically low. The Binance team has therefore requested us to help them with a token swap from BEP20 ALT to ERC20 ALT to balance the liquidity.

We will be facilitating this swap on chain by burning BEP20 tokens on the BNB chain and minting an equivalent number of ERC20 tokens on Ethereum. The total token circulation will therefore remain unchanged. You will see withdrawal transactions of 400M BEP20 ALT from Binance followed by burning of those tokens on the BNB chain and then an unlock transaction of an equivalent number of ERC20 ALT on Ethereum which will then be moved to a Binance-controlled wallet.

Both the withdrawal (BEP20 ALT) and the eventual deposit (ERC20 ALT) can be verified on-chain. For transparency, we will share the transaction links once the swap process is complete.

Thank you for your understanding.

🎉 AGENTIC CRYPTO DAY WILL BLOW THE ROOF OFF DENVER.

Legends of a different league will drop alpha - it's unmissable! Lean into a future where infra, applications, & AI collide to REWRITE Web3 🔥

Stay tuned for more on speakers/agenda. Coming 🔜

As a follow-up to today's PSA announcement, the swap process for Binance is now complete.

A gentle reminder that the Binance team had requested us to help them swap 400M BEP20 ALT for an equivalent ERC20 ALT. The swap process involved Binance withdrawing BEP20 tokens from the exchange; these tokens were burnt on the BNB Chain and then an equivalent number of ERC20 tokens were unlocked on Ethereum. The unlocked ERC20 tokens were deposited back to a Binance-controlled wallet. The total ALT token in circulation therefore remained unchanged.

The entire swap process can be verified on-chain and for transparency to the community here are the transaction links for independent verification:

Test Swap:

Withdrawal of 1,000 BEP20 ALT by Binance on the BNB Chain ➡️
