KEY TAKEAWAYS
- AltLayer and Astar Network propose a fast-finality layer for Soneium rollups to enhance transaction speed and security.
- The integration aims to address limitations in Soneium’s OP Stack rollup, reducing transaction finality time from 13 minutes to near-instant.
- EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism will be leveraged, using restaked ETH and bridged ASTR tokens to boost economic security.
- The proposal encourages community feedback to refine the fast-finality layer, supporting high-latency applications and the creator economy.
AltLayer and Astar Network have announced the launch of a proposal to integrate a fast-finality layer for Soneium rollups. This initiative aims to enhance transaction finality using MACH AVS (Actively Validated Service), powered by EigenLayer. The proposal, now live, outlines a strategy to improve the speed and security of rollup transactions on Soneium.
The integration seeks to address the current limitations faced by users deploying on Soneium’s OP Stack rollup. Typically, these users experience either soft finality from the sequencer or hard finality when transactions settle on Ethereum, which can take approximately 13 minutes for a block to finalize. Additionally, the settlement period is often lengthy, followed by a withdrawal period of around seven days.
Given Soneium’s goal to support high-latency applications and the creator economy, the introduction of quick finality is expected to significantly enhance its architecture. This development is anticipated to benefit developers and creators by providing faster transaction confirmations and improved crypto-economic security guarantees.
Leveraging EigenLayer’s Restaking Mechanism
The MACH AVS system will leverage EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism, utilizing restaked ETH and the bridged ASTR token, which represents staked ASTR tokens. This approach not only enhances economic security but also aims to unite various stakeholders, including token holders, operators, venture capitalists, and the broader community, to operate the MACH network effectively.
Astar’s involvement in the Soneium ecosystem has been discussed on their forum page, highlighting the collaborative efforts to elevate scalability, decentralization, and security. The detailed case for using MACH AVS is available for review, and feedback is encouraged to refine the fast-finality layer further.
