AltLayer: Decentralized Protocol and ALT Token Utility
AltLayer stands out as an open and decentralized protocol specifically designed for rollups, introducing the innovative concept of Restaked Rollups. This approach aims to enhance the security, decentralization, interoperability, and crypto-economic fast finality of rollups across various stacks, including OP Stack, ZK Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, and Polygon CDK, through a restaking mechanism.
The native utility token of AltLayer, ALT, serves several crucial functions within the ecosystem. Firstly, ALT tokens, alongside restaked assets, contribute to providing economic stake, with potential slashing in cases of detected malicious behavior.
Secondly, holders of ALT tokens enjoy governance privileges, enabling them to participate in voting on critical decisions. Additionally, operators contributing to the AltLayer ecosystem can earn ALT tokens as rewards for their services. Moreover, participants in the network are required to pay for intra-network services using ALT tokens.
AltLayer has successfully raised $22.8 million through two rounds of private token sales, with 18.50% of the total ALT token supply sold at prices of $0.008 USD/ALT and $0.018 USD/ALT, respectively. Notable investors in AltLayer include Polychain Capital, Breyer Capital, Binance Labs, DAO5, Jump Crypto, Balaji Srinivasan, Sean Neville, Gavin Wood, and Ryan Selkis, among others.
