AltLayer introduces reALT token in second phase of staking program

AltLayer introduces reALT token in second phase of staking program

AltLayer has introduced its restaked ALT (reALT) token as the rollup platform begins the second phase of its staking program. Restaked ALT is an auto-compounding ERC-20 token issued to users staking ALT in AltLayer’s main staking pool.

AltLayer is a decentralized protocol that enables developers to create rollups from software stacks such as OP Stack, Arbitrum, and Polygon CDK, described as rollup-as-a-service. The project also plans to introduce what are known as “restaked rollups” — Layer 2 projects that leverage EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism to bootstrap network security.

AltLayer’s native ALT token was launched in January, with ALT staking subsequently enabled in March. Restaked ALT is an auto-compounding ERC-20 token now issued to users staking ALT in AltLayer’s main staking pool that automatically accumulates the rewards earned on a weekly basis.

Existing holders of the underlying stALT token (staked ALT) — an ERC-1155 token representing the staking contribution of holders in the staking pool — can also convert stALT to reALT using AltLayer’s staking portal tool.

How reALT works

Once issued, reALT can be used in multiple pools for restaked rollups, such as the Xterio pool, the AltLayer team explained in a blog post on Thursday. This enables users to simultaneously participate in more than one pool, gaining exposure to other restaked rollup communities and incentives, without unstaking from the main ALT staking pool, to increase their staking yields.

Important changes in phase two include the deprecation of the initial Xterio LaunchPool, with a new reALT-powered pool taking its place, enabling existing stakers to immediately withdraw and migrate. The main ALT staking pool also currently enables immediate withdrawals, though the cooldown period will be reinstated to 21 days, seven days after the start of phase two, the team said.

The introduction of reALT is key to the AltLayer ecosystem, ensuring more staker engagement in preparation for its upcoming MACH Alpha launch — a fast finality service to help secure and scale Layer 2 rollups — they added.

In February, AltLayer announced it had raised $14.4 million in a strategic funding round co-led by Polychain Capital and Hack VC.
