Aligned ($ALIGN): Project and Token Information Update for CoinGecko

This post serves as the official Public Announcement requested by CoinGecko in order to update the $ALIGN token information displayed on their website. It consolidates the most up-to-date information about Aligned and the $ALIGN token, including what the project does, what makes it unique, its history, its roadmap, the token's utility, our official social channels, and the token contract addresses.

What is the project about?

Aligned is a one-click stack that helps fintechs, institutions, and enterprises upgrade to Ethereum without the usual integration hassle.

Teams can use Aligned to launch remittances, neobanks, stablecoin-based payment rails, digital identity systems, and other financial services that need scale and cross-ecosystem reach.

Everything runs through a single integration for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and ZK services.

For more information, check out our latest roadmap here: https://blog.alignedlayer.com/the-aligned-roadmap-ethereum-as-a-financial-backend/

What makes the project unique?

Aligned is building a full stack that includes:

  • Aligned's Proof Aggregation Service: currently live on Ethereum mainnet alpha, it reduces costs and increases throughput for rollups and ZK-based systems.
  • Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS): enables teams to deploy an Ethereum rollup in a single click.
  • Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS): users can authenticate with Google to instantly get a real Ethereum wallet, without dealing with seed phrases or browser extensions, and use Face ID or Touch ID to sign transactions.
  • LambdaVM: our RISC-V zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine), built in collaboration with LambdaClass and 3MI Labs.

Together, these products enable teams to launch and operate Ethereum-connected ecosystems with minimal friction. With this stack, teams will be able to build remittances, neobanks, stablecoin-based payment rails, digital identity systems, and other financial services on Ethereum with minimal friction.

This adaptability is central to the project's value proposition: building essential infrastructure for today, with the flexibility to power tomorrow's financial and technological innovations.

History of the project

The project was initially launched as a Proof Verification Layer. You can read the original whitepaper here: https://whitepaper.alignedlayer.com/

However, the team decided to expand its offering by building a full-stack product suite.

  • Q4 2024, Proof Verification Layer (Mainnet beta): Launched Nov 2024 on Ethereum via EigenLayer (AVS); verified 136,000+ proofs with 50+ operators. Deprecated July 2026 in favour of the Proof Aggregation Service.
  • Q1 2025, Proof Aggregation Service (Testnet): Recursive proof aggregation to batch thousands of proofs into one, verified on-chain.
  • Q1 2026, Proof Aggregation Service: Mainnet alpha.
  • Q1 2026, Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS): Modular wallet stack based on EIP-7702 and RIP-7212 for simplified onboarding. MVP achieved.
  • In development: Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS), LambdaVM (a RISC-V zkVM built in collaboration with LambdaClass and 3MI Labs), and an interoperability protocol.

What's next for the project?

Our next milestone is to complete and deliver the remaining components of our full stack, including Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS), LambdaVM (our RISC-V zkVM built in collaboration with LambdaClass and 3MI Labs), and our interoperability protocol, while continuing to drive adoption of our existing products. Our vision is to make Aligned the one-click stack for fintechs, institutions, and enterprises to build on Ethereum, enabling them to launch remittances, neobanks, stablecoin-based payment rails, digital identity systems, and other scalable financial applications through a single integration for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and ZK services.

What can $ALIGN be used for?

Planned Utility (Not Yet Live):

$ALIGN will be available as an option to pay for the services across that stack, from Proof Aggregation to Wallet-as-a-Service. As more teams build on Aligned, it will be the asset they use to pay for that usage. It is a utility token. It is not equity, a share, or a claim on revenue or dividends, and it does not promise a yield or a price.

Use cases:

  • Payment for Proof Aggregation - Applications and rollups pay fees in $ALIGN to have their proofs aggregated and verified on Ethereum through the Proof Aggregation Service (the default and only verification solution following the Proof Verification Layer deprecation announced in July 2026).
  • Payment and Settlement Medium for RaaS & WaaS - $ALIGN will be used as the primary medium of payment for Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) and Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) products to cover infrastructure and API usage fees.
  • Interoperability & Bridge Verification Fees - $ALIGN will be required to pay for cross-chain proof verification and bridge validation when the Interoperability Protocol launches. This will expand the token’s role beyond Ethereum.
  • Incentives for Ecosystem Builders - Developers deploying rollups, integrations, or proof aggregation tools through Aligned’s SDK will receive $ALIGN grants and performance-based rewards.
