AltLayer protocol
Overview
AltLayer is a decentralized protocol that provides restaked rollup infrastructure using EigenLayer's Actively Validated Service (AVS) framework. It offers services such as AltLayer Mach AVS for fast finality and decentralized sequencing. The protocol is designed to enhance the security and decentralization of rollups through restaking mechanisms.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, AltLayer connects to 13 tracked entities, most strongly to EigenLayer, EigenDA, Swell.

Frequently asked questions
What is AltLayer?
AltLayer is a protocol that enables restaked rollups by leveraging EigenLayer's AVS to provide decentralized sequencing and fast finality for layer-2 networks.
How does AltLayer's Mach AVS work?
Mach AVS uses restaked ETH or other assets via EigenLayer to secure a network of operators that provide rapid transaction confirmation and decentralized ordering for rollups.
What problem does AltLayer solve?
It addresses the reliance on centralized sequencers in many rollups by providing a trust-minimized, decentralized alternative that inherits security from restaked assets.
What is AltLayer connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, AltLayer is linked to 13 other tracked entities, most strongly to EigenLayer, EigenDA, Swell.
