AltLayer Launches Support for Polkadot Native Rollups

**ERC-8004** establishes a trust layer for autonomous agents by providing three core primitives: - **Identity registries** for blockchain-registered agent identities - **Reputation registries** with verifiable feedback from real interactions - **Validation registries** offering independent proof of correct task execution This infrastructure enables agents to operate autonomously, evaluate each other, and coordinate based on shared, verifiable signals rather than assumptions. **[8004scan.io](http://8004scan.io)** serves as the ecosystem's gateway, allowing users to discover, validate, and interact with agents through a single interface. The platform indexes agents, surfaces reputation signals, and makes performance data openly inspectable. With nearly 10,000 agents already registered onchain, adoption is accelerating. The mainnet launch marks a shift from centralized directories to transparent, permissionless agent discovery - laying groundwork for a decentralized agent economy.

Autonomous agents are now **actively operating onchain**, marking a shift from conceptual development to real-world deployment. These agents are executing transactions and interacting with blockchain networks independently. **Key developments:** - Agents have moved beyond the testing phase into live production environments - Focus is shifting toward **verifiable execution** rather than unproven claims - The technology is expected to mature, specialize, and scale from this foundation This milestone represents the culmination of multi-year development efforts. Earlier phases focused on user-signed transactions through smart contract interactions. The current phase enables **agent-to-agent communication** across multiple chains. The emphasis on verification reflects growing scrutiny of projects claiming autonomous capabilities without demonstrated results. As the technology matures, the industry is moving toward measurable outcomes and transparent operations.

AltLayer has introduced MACH AVS, a system that replaces time-based finality with economic enforcement for rollups. **How it works:** - Rollup state is attested by decentralized operators who stake real assets - Applications can treat state as final immediately upon verification - Ethereum remains the canonical finality layer, while MACH provides earlier economic certainty **Key benefits:** - Enables faster cross-chain execution and rollup coordination - Supports autonomous systems requiring timely certainty - Maintains existing execution while advancing when confidence becomes available The system allows attestations to carry economic consequences, transforming finality from a waiting period into an immediate guarantee backed by staked capital.

AltLayer has released the **x402 Suite**, a two-component system designed to streamline onchain pay-per-request transactions. The suite consists of: - **Gateway**: Executes onchain payments automatically when triggered by HTTP 402 responses - **Facilitator**: Verifies payment settlement and eliminates the need for service providers to manage blockchain infrastructure directly The system enables **secure, verifiable, and automated** interactions without requiring subscriptions or traditional payment gateways. By abstracting complexity and supporting chain-agnostic operations, x402 aims to make per-request payment models more accessible for infrastructure providers, autonomous agents, and consumers.

Deploying a blockchain rollup has become significantly more accessible through platforms like AltLayer's Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) dashboard. **The Three-Step Process:** - **Define your purpose**: Start with a clear vision of what your rollup will accomplish - **Configure components**: Use the dashboard to select and combine execution layers, data availability solutions, settlement mechanisms, sequencers, and interoperability options - **Deploy instantly**: Launch your rollup with just a few clicks, no coding required This approach allows developers to concentrate on building their application logic and user experience rather than wrestling with complex infrastructure setup. The no-code deployment model removes technical barriers that previously made rollup launches time-consuming and resource-intensive. Similar solutions like Asphere have also emerged, offering comparable one-click deployment capabilities with framework selection and DA layer configuration.
