Shib Alpha Layer is powered by Elder: Elder is a decentralized shared sequencer and interoperability protocol, providing the foundation for Shib Alpha Layer’s speed, security, and seamless cross-rollup experience.
  • Seamless Web2-like experience: Shib Alpha Layer eliminates transaction barriers for new users while maintaining decentralization
  • Single account system: One account, one gas token, one gateway for all RollApps
  • Instant confirmations: Transactions confirmed in seconds with instant inclusion finalities
  • Enhanced interoperability: Bridges and cross-chain protocols leverage inclusion finality for improved security and speed
  • Growth catalyst: Self-reinforcing ecosystem cycle driving more Rollups and users

​
Vision

Our vision is to bring more users, especially those new to technology, to RollApps by eliminating transaction barriers and delivering an experience as seamless and intuitive as Web2 applications all while upholding the core values of decentralization.

​
What We Bring to the Table

​
Single Account System

Allow a single account, single gas token and single gateway to interact with multiple RollApps, eliminating the need for multiple wallets/accounts.
This unified approach simplifies the user experience while maintaining the flexibility to interact with various RollApps across the ecosystem.

​
Transaction Sequencing

Sequence transactions into a super block to enhance speed and efficiency of blockchain operations.
Transaction sequencing optimizes throughput and reduces congestion, resulting in faster and more reliable blockchain operations.

​
Instant Confirmations

With the instant inclusion finalities, the requests are confirmed in seconds for a seamless, stress-free user experience.
Users can expect transaction confirmations in seconds rather than minutes, providing immediate feedback and confidence in their operations.

​
Smoother Interoperability

The bridges/cross-chain-messaging-protocols on top of rollups (connected to Shib Alpha Layer ecosystem) can leverage the inclusion finality provided by Shib Alpha Layer to reduce their security assumptions (for reorgs) and enhance the speed of the cross chain actions.
Enhanced interoperability reduces the complexity of cross-chain operations while maintaining security standards.

​
Growth Catalyzation

More Rollups → More Ecosystem Users → Even More Rollups → ♾️. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle with a consistently positive growth coefficient.
This virtuous cycle ensures sustainable ecosystem growth and continuous innovation across the RollApp landscape.

​
Establishing Trust

Our strategy guarantees censorship resistance, fostering trust among RollApp users. A rollup cannot censor critical transactions like withdrawal transactions and lock users’ funds on the rollup.

​
User-Friendly Design

Design the interface and interaction to mirror Web2 simplicity, easing the transition to Web3.
The familiar Web2-like interface helps onboard users who are new to blockchain technology without overwhelming them with complex concepts.

​
Continuous Development

Ongoing tests and adaptations to include various wallet types and fee payment methods, ensuring broad compatibility and user convenience.
Regular updates and improvements ensure the platform remains cutting-edge and accessible to the widest possible user base.

​
