AltLayer (@alt_layer): Thrilled to support the launch of @swellnetworkio's Swellchain mainnet as part of the @Optimism Superchain ecosystem.

Thrilled to support the launch of @swellnetworkio's Swellchain mainnet as part of the @Optimism Superchain ecosystem. Swellchain will show us how immense value can be unlocked when we tap into the power of restaking to scale, buidl, and accelerate. Quote [@swellnetworkio](https://www.twitter.com/swellnetworkio/status/1869621024230445494) > Why Swellchain? > > Our goal with Swellchain is to build a rollup that is scaled and decentralized with infrastructure secured by restaking. > > This vision is made possible through Proof of Restake, a unique mechanism which uses Swell’s liquid restaked assets to secure both @Eigenlayer AVS and @Symbioticfi Networks providing key infrastructure and services to the network. > > In this way, the security provided by Proof of Stake on Ethereum is replicated at the rollup level—enabling fresh innovation for DeFi apps and chain infrastructure that is unconstrained by the limitations of the EVM, but still rooted in the security of the underlying blockchain. The resulting rollup structure not only creates deep alignment with Ethereum, but also unique possibilities to drive maximal value creation for Swell restakers. > > Today, we launch with two AVS: @DittoAutomation, providing secure automation through its Keeper network, and @Hyperlane, providing interoperability. In addition to the @Alt_Layer AVS, secured through @EigenLayer, these form the first components of the underlying Proof of Restake mechanism, with more set to deploy in the coming weeks as we build out our vision of Swellchain. > > Learn more: swellnetwork.io/post/swellchain
