Founded by Dr Yaoqi Jia, the co-founder of the blockchain company Zilliqa, AltLayer is a rollup-as-a-service platform for decentralized application developers to launch highly scalable application-tailored rollups. AltLayer is developing a novel scaling solution that allows application developers to launch highly elastic execution environments.
AltLayer can be seen as a system of individual optimistic rollups that derive security from an underlying Layer 1 (e.g., Ethereum) or Layer 2 (e.g., Arbitrum and Optimism), with each roll-up tailored to a specific application.
The Singapore-based blockchain firm recently raised $7.2 million in a seed funding round led by Polychain Capital, Breyer Capital, and Jump Crypto.
AltLayer launches the first-ever multi-sequencer rollup on testnet, which promises to mitigate censorship and enhance security & availability in rollups.
Try out the testnet via the ALTITUDE campaign & claim a Galxe OAT.
📝 Tasks to do to be eligible for OAT:
Deposit and Withdraw ERC-721 (MSNFT) to and from AltLayer Testnet
Deposit and Withdraw ERC-20 (MSEQ) to and from AltLayer Testnet
Deposit and Withdraw Sepolia ETH to and from AltLayer Testnet
💡 Prerequisites:
Select Sepolia Testnet on Metamask
Claim SepoliaETH
Claim/Mint MSNFTs and MSEQ on Sepolia
Add AltLayer Testnet
✅ Select Sepolia Testnet on Metamask:
Sepolia Testnet is added by default on Metamask, so it should appear on the list of Metamask chains. If not, just go to Settings > Advance > Turn on “Show test networks”.
✅ Claim SepoliaETH:
Claim here 👇
✅ Claim/Mint MSNFTs and MSEQ on Sepolia:
📌 After minting the MSNFT, make sure to note down your MSNFT token ID as it will be required later while bridging. You can view the token ID on the blockchain explorer 👇
✅ Add AltLayer Testnet:
Network name: Multi Sequencer Testnet L2
New RPC URL: https://testnet-rollup-api.altlayer.io
Chain ID: 9997
Currency symbol: ETH
Block Explorer URL: https://v060p3producerlayer-producer-explorer.alt.technology
🧩 Now finally complete the required tasks on Galxe:
Deposit and Withdraw ERC-721 (MSNFT) to and from AltLayer Testnet
Deposit and Withdraw ERC-20 (MSEQ) to and from AltLayer Testnet
Deposit and Withdraw Sepolia ETH to and from AltLayer Testnet
📌 Important: While bridging the MSNFT, make sure to enter your token ID, not the token amount.
The credential (bridging transactions) may take up to a week to be updated. So be patient and check back after a few days to claim the OAT, after completing all the steps.
That’s it for now. Make sure to join us on Telegram to remain updated with AltLayer updates.
