Our commitment to The Protocol Guild
Aligned’s mission is to accelerate Ethereum’s roadmap and the adoption of ZK. This pledge is meant to recognize and thank the core developers and researchers who have built the foundations for our work.
The Protocol Guild plays a crucial role in funding Ethereum’s essential Layer 1 R&D. With over 187 contributors, it supports critical areas such as client development, research, specifications, testing, and coordination. These contributions are fundamental to Ethereum’s growth, safeguarding the shared infrastructure that underpins our decentralized future.
We are dedicating 1.5% of the $ALIGN supply to ensure the Protocol Guild continues to receive stable funding for Ethereum maintainers, facilitating their vital work in preserving the network. This pledge underscores our belief in the importance of sustaining the continued development of Ethereum while avoiding centralized capture.
We call on other projects in the ecosystem to join us in this pledge and to help ensure Ethereum can reach its full potential over the years to come.
About Aligned
Aligned builds products to reduce the costs and improve the performance of verifiable computation. Our first product, the Proof Verification Layer, is built as an Actively Validated Service (AVS) on top of EigenLayer. It is in mainnet beta on Ethereum and makes ZK proof verification faster, more affordable, and more scalable by orders of magnitude.
Other products in development by Aligned include the Proof Aggregation Layer as well as a ZK-powered bridge. The overarching goal of these products is to solve developer pain points in web3 and to make the use of zero-knowledge cryptography more accessible.
