## About

Founded in 2023 by co-founders Roberto José (RJ) Catalán and Federico Carrone and based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Aligned Layer offers verification layers in the blockchain industry. In April 2024, Aligned Layer raised USD 2.6 million in seed funding led by investor Lemniscap, with participation from other investors Bankless Ventures, Paper Ventures, StarkWare Industries Ltd., and O(1) Labs Operating Corporation.

Aligned Layer offers a solution built atop the EigenLayer framework. The solution utilises restaking and proof aggregation techniques that facilitate efficient and cost-effective verification of various SNARK proofs. SNARK proofs are a type of ZK proof that allow verification without revealing all the underlying data.

The company plans to use the April 2024 funding to grow its business and hasten the deployment of Aligned Layer.
