AltLayer

About

AltLayer is a decentralized blockchain infrastructure that enables developers to build scalable custom rollups using the Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) solution. The platform provides support for commonly used development platforms such as OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, Polygon CDK, and ZK Stack, enabling developers to easily launch their blockchain networks. AltLayer gained popularity in the crypto world due to its Restaked Rollups offering, where EigenLayer restaking is paired with rollup solutions. Through this combination, the network achieves enhanced security, decentralization, interoperability, and increased transaction finality for Web3 applications. Key Features of AltLayer: • • Allows for the creation of customized rollups in a matter of minutes without coding via a no-code dashboard. • Offers flexible settlements, bridges, sequencers, and data availability solutions. • Increases transaction confirmation times for gaming, DeFi, NFTs, and AI blockchain applications. • Connectivity with various ecosystems including Ethereum, EigenLayer, Celestia, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and zkSync.
