AltLayer

AltLayer builds AI infrastructure and autonomous agents for interacting with on-chain systems, simplifying how developers build intelligent applications on top of decentralized networks. The company has evolved from its origins as a rollups-as-a-service (RaaS) provider into a broader AI infrastructure platform for on-chain systems. AltLayer's product suite includes: 8004scan (an Agent Registry and Explorer for discovering, creating, and interacting with autonomous agents built on the ERC-8004 standard), AltLLM (an AI model platform providing access to frontier and open-source AI models through a unified chat interface and API with credit-based pricing), AltClaw (a DeFi-native Model Context Protocol enabling LLMFi through private RPC infrastructure with MEV-protected transaction execution), and RaaS (Rollups-as-a-Service for building customized rollups with support for OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, and zkSync ZK Stack with no-code deployment). Live products built on AltLayer include ClawNews (a social news aggregation platform built by agents for agents, with on-chain reputation via ERC-8004), ClawSearch (an agent-native search engine for the agentic web), Ottie (a self-evolving autonomous agent performing blockchain operations across multiple chains), and ETH2030 (an experimental Ethereum execution client implementing the Ethereum Foundation's 2030 Strawmap covering post-quantum cryptography, native rollups, 3-slot finality, and PeerDAS). The company also maintains altpq, an open-source post-quantum cryptography implementation in pure Go. AltLayer differentiates itself through its convergence of AI and blockchain infrastructure, its ERC-8004 agent standard, and its ecosystem of live agent-native products. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Singapore, AltLayer has raised approximately $21.6 million in a Series A round backed by Polychain, Jump Crypto, Breyerlabs, Hack VC, OKX, HashKey Capital, Bankless Ventures, Primitive Ventures, SevenX Ventures, Mask Network, IOSG Ventures, TRG Capital, Binance, WAGMI Ventures, AZA Ventures, and Spark.
