Aligned, an Ethereum infrastructure project, has launched its native token $ALIGN on major exchanges. The project aims to simplify building financial products on Ethereum by offering a single stack for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services. Full-stack Ethereum infrastructure project Aligned has launched its native token $ALIGN, with listings on major exchanges. The ecosystem, built in collaboration with LambdaClass, is designed to turn Ethereum into the world’s financial backend. Aligned provides fintechs and institutions with one integration for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services, addressing the complexity of assembling these tools from multiple vendors.
Less than one percent of the world’s assets are onchain, according to the project. Aligned launched with a Proof Aggregation Service live on mainnet alpha and a Wallet-as-a-Service MVP. The latter allows users to sign in with Google or Face ID for a real Ethereum wallet with no seed phrases or gas fees.
Further products, including a Rollup-as-a-Service and the LambdaVM zkVM, are in development. The LambdaVM is being built in collaboration with LambdaClass and 3MI Labs. “Aligned ships the stack one piece at a time,” the announcement stated.
$ALIGN has a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, with approximately 16% circulating at launch. It is described as a utility token for paying for services across the Aligned stack. The airdrop included developers, researchers, and contributors to projects like Protocol Guild, L2BEAT, and ZK Podcast.
Holders of tokens including Starknet, zkSync, and Polygon also received allocations. The project is committed solely to Ethereum. The team plans to ship the remaining stack components through the year to make building a financial product on Ethereum a single decision.
