The journey to scale rollups just got a turbo boost.

Following our Alpha Engine introduction, we’re launching our onboarding guide for developers, alongside Nitro rewards program to push the boundaries for rollup growth and scale.

Here’s how you can jump in if you’re building an L2 or looking to become an Alpha Engine partner:

What is Alpha Engine?

Alpha Engine is a unified platform built to tackle the challenges in rollup growth: revenue, security, and connectivity. It’s powered by a modular stack: Radius, Symbiotic, and Avail to deliver efficiency and scale across the rollup ecosystem.

• Radius: Captures MEV to generate revenue so rollups can earn beyond transaction fees

• Symbiotic: Reduces costs through shared, decentralized security leveraging restaked assets

• Avail: Enhances cross-chain interoperability and throughput with a high-performance data availability layer

Our Alpha Engine onboarding guide has all the details: integration tips, real-world examples, and Nitro rewards to scale rollups.

What’s New: Nitro Rewards

Nitro is a new growth incentive program designed to spark growth. Nitro offers structured rewards to strengthen rollup ecosystems integrated with Alpha Engine, just as nitrogen boosts engine performance. These incentives—such as points and yields—can attract users, inspire builders, and streamline operations.

As Alpha Engine evolves, Nitro will too, rolling out new components and partnerships to keep the momentum going and drive L2 scalability.

How Nitro Rewards Work

Nitro rewards are tied to the adoption of Alpha Engine’s core components. Each component - Radius, Symbiotic, Avail, and more - brings its own flavor of benefits, paired with tailored rewards:

Radius Nitro: Using tools like Lighthouse and Secure Block Building (SBB), Radius turns MEV into revenue for your rollup.

Reward: Radius Points (details to be shared).

Symbiotic Nitro: Symbiotic provides economic security via restaked assets, allowing rollups to reduce infrastructure costs while maintaining control over security implementations, operations, and slashing mechanisms.

Reward: Symbiotic Points

Avail Nitro: Avail enhances connectivity with AvailDA (secure data availability via KZG commitments) and Avail Nexus (fast cross-chain transactions), improving interoperability and user engagement.

Reward: Avail Points (details to be shared).

Nitro Rewards at a Glance

Expect more rewards as Alpha Engine evolves.

Nitro rewards work as a growth engine for rollups. By joining the Alpha ecosystem, you’ll unlock these incentives, while reward distribution policies can be customized and tailored by each rollup.
