AltLayer collaborates with EigenLayer on ALTITUDE Phase III: Restaking to Launch Flash Layer
Hello Alters,
Following the enormous success of Phases I and II of AltLayer’s ALTITUDE — where users tested out multi-sequencing, the Beacon Layer, and rollup staking — we are proud to open up Phase III of ALTITUDE in collaboration with EigenLayer. This phase enables any user — be it a developer or newbie in the blockchain space — to launch a Flash Layer and secure it with EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism.
So — before we delve further into this campaign, let’s understand what EigenLayer is setting out to do, why it is important, and how we’re planning to utilize their innovation at AltLayer.
Decentralizing Flash Layer via EigenLayer’s Restaking
Over the last couple of months, we have been busy integrating EigenLayer with the AltLayer protocol. EigenLayer is a great primitive to enable decentralization by leveraging Ethereum’s highly valued trust network. This integration makes it possible to decentralize the sequencers that operate a Flash Layer.
Once the integration is fully complete, an end user could submit a Flash Layer request through our rollup launchpad and specify the number of sequencers that should operate this rollup. These sequencers could then be Ethereum validators that have opted-in to service Flash Layers via EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism.
The integration between our rollup launchpad and EigenLayer is a work in progress, but we’re excited to showcase the combined potential of Flash Layers and EigenLayer.
AltLayer ALTITUDE Phase III
Today, we are excited to launch Phase III of our ALTITUDE campaign in collaboration with EigenLayer. This campaign provides a sneak peek into how Flash Layers can be turbo-charged by leveraging EigenLayer, making them more decentralized and therefore more resilient. Users can experience it by restaking stETH or rETH on EigenLayer testnet and then utilizing the same restaking account to deploy a Flash Layer via AltLayer’s rollup launchpad — which is rapid and easy to use!
Campaign Details
To qualify for this campaign, visit Galxe and complete the following tasks:
- Follow @alt_layer on Twitter
- Retweet the Altitude Phase III tweets
- Join our Discord group
