DIN Build Launches on EigenCloud with Major Industry Partners
馃殌 DIN Goes Live
DIN Build has officially launched on EigenCloud, marking a significant milestone for decentralized RPC infrastructure.
The project brings together major industry players including:
- Consensys and Infura
- MetaMask
- EigenLayer team
- AltLayer as core development partner
Key technical achievements:
- Restaking and slashing mechanisms now live
- AVS (Actively Validated Services) integration complete
- SLA enforcement and staking logic implemented
- Provider/Watcher onboarding flows operational
AltLayer played a leading development role, building the AVS modules that power DIN's infrastructure. The team worked through multiple testnet versions before reaching mainnet deployment.
What this means: DIN represents a shift toward decentralized, accountable RPC infrastructure - moving away from centralized providers to crypto-secured endpoints.
Next steps: DIN will be offered as a native RPC option on rollup-as-a-service platforms, giving builders direct access to decentralized infrastructure.
This launch demonstrates that restaking-secured services are moving from concept to reality, with real applications now live on mainnet.
This is a huge moment for decentralized infra: congrats to @DINBuild by @Consensys! AltLayer is proud to have played a leading role in building the AVS that powers DIN, working closely with @eigencloud鈥檚 amazing team + pioneering restaking features 馃敟 Backstory: we were
Special shoutout to @alt_layer for their expertise with AVS development, design, and launch. The @eigencloud dev team has also helped tremendously every step of the way.
.@DINBuild going live on @eigencloud is massive, friends. As an early project partner, we鈥檙e pumped to share with the world how restaking, slashing, and AVSs can reshape RPC infra.... making it the way the crypto OGs intended: decentralized, accountable, and for all. Can't wait
We鈥檙e thrilled to share that @DINBuild AVS is now live on EigenLayer mainnet, bringing real cryptoeconomic security to Web3鈥檚 RPC layer. Backed by @Consensys x @infura_io, DIN becomes the first large-scale decentralized RPC marketplace to leverage restaking + slashing, turning
An enormous leap for decentralization, accountability, and restaking! 馃殌 @DINBuild is live on @eigencloud, and we鈥檙e proud to have helped secure + ship the AVS alongside @egalano, @sreeramkannan, @infura_io, and @Consensys Next up: offering DIN as a native RPC option for

馃敆 Coinbase's x402 Protocol
Coinbase's **x402 internet-native payment protocol** is gaining momentum at EFDevcon 2024. The protocol enables direct stablecoin payments over HTTP, eliminating traditional payment intermediaries. **Key features:** - Settles payments in seconds - Supports micropayments globally - No currency conversion needed - Removes chargebacks and middlemen **Current adoption** includes builders like Unibase, Pieverse, AEON Community, and Termix integrating x402 for autonomous AI agent payments. The protocol works alongside **ERC-8004 standards** for trustless agent interactions, representing a shift toward agent-to-agent payment models.

Monad Mainnet Launches with 10k+ TPS and EVM Compatibility
**Monad mainnet is now live**, marking a significant milestone for the Layer 1 blockchain. Key features include: - **Full EVM compatibility** for seamless developer migration - **Parallel transaction execution** enabling high throughput - **MonadBFT consensus** with fast finality - **10,000+ TPS** capacity AltLayer has joined as an early validator, citing alignment with Monad's technical fundamentals. Users can now **delegate MON tokens** to AltLayer's validator to: - Earn staking rewards - Strengthen network consensus - Boost decentralization - Help secure the network The launch represents a major step forward for high-performance EVM-compatible blockchains.
AltLayer Unveils x402 Suite for Autonomous Agent Payments at EFDevcon
**AltLayer announced its x402 Suite** at EFDevcon, building on Coinbase's x402 payment standard to create infrastructure for autonomous agent transactions. The suite includes three core components: - **x402 Facilitator** - handles payment processing - **x402 Gateway** - manages network interactions - **x402 integration tools** - enables seamless adoption **Key features:** - Pay-per-request model eliminates subscriptions - Chain-agnostic functionality across networks - Verifiable, autonomous payments for agents and APIs - Reduced complexity for developers and users This represents a shift toward **"agentic economics"** where autonomous systems can transact independently without human intervention. The x402 standard enables signed requests that are verified and settled on-chain. **Why it matters:** As AI agents become more prevalent, they need native payment rails to operate autonomously. AltLayer's suite aims to provide the missing infrastructure piece for the emerging autonomous web. The x402 Suite is positioned as infrastructure for the next generation of web3 applications where agents, APIs, and users can interact seamlessly through verifiable payment layers.
