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’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.

Want to participate?

📣 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!🔥

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.
