AltLayer is a fully open and decentralized protocol developed for multiple Roll-ups. In addition to its decentralization, AltLayer offers innovations such as high security and interoperability.

The project has developed these capabilities with a system called Restaked Roll-up. Thanks to Restaked, Roll-ups can be produced in the fastest and safest way using Roll-up stacks such as OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, ZKStack, and Polygon CDK. Additionally, this system uses the EigenLayer restaking mechanism to create a decentralized network.
What does it do? What opportunities does it offer?
The Restaked Roll-ups in the AltLayer project use the Actively Verified Services (AVS) system. These are divided into three: VITAL (AVS for decentralized verification), MACH (AVS for fast results), and SQUAD (AVS for decentralized sorting).
The AltLayer project, which is built on such a protocol, offers many opportunities to users. Users who are not developers and do not know how to code have the opportunity to produce Customized Roll-ups in a very short time, such as 2 minutes.
In addition, the AltLayer project interacts with and supports many DA layers such as OP Stack, Starkware, Celestia EigenLayer, and Avail.
In addition to these, there is one more innovation. This innovation in the Roll-up design area is the concept of Ephemeral Roll-up. The benefits of this are as follows:
- A fast and scalable application on the Layer 1 side can produce Roll-ups faster.
- This Roll-up can be used seamlessly for the duration of its need.
- Roll-up can be thrown away with the “expiration date” option, if desired.
What makes the AltLayer project so important?
Roll-ups are used in many places. But many of them are designed for general purposes or for application-specific uses. Today, Roll-ups can be produced heterogeneously using Arbitrum Orbit or ZKStack. However, AltLayer offers a universal and neutral protocol against this situation.
What is the ecosystem of the AltLayer project?
AltLayer works with Dapp developers to build partnerships with many projects in the ecosystem. In this way, it aims to both help new projects and grow with them. Currently, they have announced their partnerships with Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Singularity, Snapshot, and many more projects.
The people behind the project
In addition to having many partnerships, the supporters of AltLayer also consist of important companies and individuals. For example, these include Kain Warwick, the founder of Synthetix, and Balaji Srinivasan, the former CTO of Coinbase.
