Aligned Unveils Comprehensive Ethereum Infrastructure Stack
Aligned is an Ethereum infrastructure project aimed at making it easier for developers to build applications and financial services connected to the Ethereum network. The project's goal is to reduce technical complexity by providing a more integrated stack of tools, including zero-knowledge proof aggregation, rollup deployment, embedded wallets, interoperability, and verifiable computation.
The native token of the Aligned ecosystem, ALIGN, has a fixed total supply of 10 billion tokens. Approximately 16% of this supply is expected to enter circulation at the token generation event, with team and investor allocations having no unlock at this stage but vesting after a 12-month cliff.
Aligned's products include proof aggregation, Rollup-as-a-Service, Wallet-as-a-Service, and LambdaVM. The Proof Aggregation Service is currently in mainnet alpha, while other components are still under development. Aligned states that its ZK infrastructure strategy has shifted towards proof aggregation with the evolution of zero-knowledge technology and Ethereum's native ZK roadmap.
The project's target users include developers, fintech companies, institutions, and enterprises, with potential applications including remittances, neobanks, stablecoin payment rails, digital identity systems, and other services that need Ethereum-based settlement or verifiable computation. However, Aligned emphasizes that it does not remove all technical or security risks, as applications using its infrastructure remain responsible for their own smart contracts, integrations, operational controls, and regulatory requirements.
