# AltLayer > AI Infrastructure for On-Chain Systems AltLayer is an infrastructure protocol that provides rollup deployment services and autonomous AI agent tooling for developers building on decentralized networks. AltLayer provides infrastructure tools and AI agent services for developers building applications on blockchain networks. Users can deploy customized rollups across multiple stacks including OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, and zkSync ZK Stack, register and interact with autonomous agents via the ERC-8004 standard, and connect AI agents to DeFi protocols through private RPC infrastructure. Its Restaked Rollup framework enhances existing rollups with decentralized verification, faster finality, and sequencing through EigenLayer-based AVS services. - Type: Protocol - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2022-05-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/altlayer ## Products - [8004scan](https://thegrid.id/profiles/altlayer): 8004scan is an on-chain registry and explorer for autonomous agents built on the ERC-8004 standard. Users browse registered agent listings, inspect metadata and capabilities, track performance leaderboards, and register new agents. The interface provides live activity feeds showing agent interactions and network statistics. (Block Explorer, Live) - [AltClaw](https://thegrid.id/profiles/altlayer): AltClaw is a DeFi-native Model Context Protocol service enabling AI models and agents to interact with DeFi protocols through private RPC infrastructure. Supports automated execution of DeFi operations including swaps, lending, staking, and yield optimization through integrated protocols such as Uniswap, Aave, Compound, and Lido, with MEV-protected transaction execution. (MCP, Live) - [AltLayer Rollups-as-a-Service](https://thegrid.id/profiles/altlayer): Rollups-as-a-Service is a managed platform for deploying customized blockchain rollups. Projects select from OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, or zkSync ZK Stack and configure data availability layers including EigenDA, Celestia, Avail, and NEAR DA. Bundled tooling covers explorers, bridges, and network monitoring. (Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS), Live, Main Product) - [Wizard](https://thegrid.id/profiles/altlayer): Wizard is an AVS-as-a-Service platform for deploying and managing Actively Validated Services within the EigenLayer ecosystem. Provides template-based AVS contract deployment through a no-code dashboard, operator whitelisting and onboarding tools, and ongoing AVS management features for builders. (Developer Tooling, Live) - [Restaked Rollups](https://thegrid.id/profiles/altlayer): Restaked Rollups is a framework of EigenLayer-backed Actively Validated Services providing additional security guarantees for blockchain rollups. VITAL provides decentralized state verification, MACH provides accelerated transaction finality, and SQUAD enables decentralized transaction sequencing, with each service using EigenLayer restaking for economic security. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Live) ## Assets - [AltLayer Token (ALT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/altlayer): ALT is the utility token of AltLayer, an infrastructure protocol for rollup deployment and restaked validation services on Ethereum. It is used for staking on the AltLayer restaking portal, where staked ALT converts to reALT for delegation to restaked pools and reward accrual. A 21-day unbonding period applies when withdrawing staked positions. (Utility) - [Restaked ALT (REALT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/altlayer): reALT is a restaked token representing ALT staked through AltLayer's restaking protocol on Ethereum. It is received when users convert staked ALT and is used to delegate to restaked ALT pools and earn ecosystem rewards. Regular snapshots of reALT balances are taken to calculate reward distributions across supported rollup networks.
