[DIN Highlight] Hemi Network - Unifying Bitcoin and Ethereum
This week, we spotlight Hemi Network, a modular Layer-2 that bridges the two largest blockchains by volume and capitalization with a decentralized infrastructure backbone.Origin StoryHemi was born from the idea that Bitcoin and Ethereum shouldn’t exist in isolated silos. In 2024, Bitcoin core veteran Jeff Garzik and security expert Max Sanchez set out to create a network that converges the strengths of both. Unveiled at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Hemi’s testnet quickly gained traction, proces...

Breaking the ‘RPC Trilemma” - Charting a New Path for Web3 Infra’s Dirty Little Secret
IntroductionWeb3 RPC & API infrastructure companies serve as the backbone of the Dapp industry, servicing data and write access to blockchains to the large majority of the industry. However, with the evolution and maturation of the industry, the business model supporting this backbone faces a challenge. Termed by DIN as the “RPC trilemma,” web3 RPC & API providers are confronted with the difficulty to simultaneously achieve three competing priorities:High Reliability: Consistent uptime, low l...

[DIN Highlight] Rivet
In this week’s Web3 Wednesday, we highlight Rivet, a core contributor to the DIN protocol and a long-standing force in open source blockchain infrastructure. From the beginning, Rivet has focused on a single, urgent mission: eliminating the centralization that continues to limit the potential of Web3. As a partner and co-designer of DIN, Rivet has been instrumental in helping shape a new model for reliable, decentralized RPC.Solving Web3’s Centralization BottleneckRivet was built to solve a f...

This week’s Web3 Wednesday is a special edition. We are proud to highlight AltLayer, our first featured Tech Partner and a foundational contributor to DIN’s Autonomous Verifiable Service (AVS). AltLayer has played a central role in shaping the architecture and operational success of DIN’s AVS, working closely with the DIN and EigenLayer teams to ensure seamless integration, robust performance, and rapid iteration as protocol updates evolve.
AltLayer is not just an infrastructure enabler. Their contributions have helped bring DIN’s decentralized RPC and verifiable compute model into production-ready territory, positioning DIN as a secure, scalable, and aligned component of the EigenLayer ecosystem.
AltLayer is an infrastructure platform focused on modular blockchain deployment. Through their Rollups-as-a-Service (RaaS) framework, AltLayer enables developers to launch custom rollups quickly using a no-code dashboard or developer SDK. Their platform supports multiple leading rollup frameworks, including OP Stack, Arbitrum Orbit, Polygon CDK, and ZKsync ZKStack, as well as integrations with Celestia, EigenDA, and Avail for modular data availability.
Their innovation around ephemeral rollups allows for short-lived, purpose-built rollup environments; ideal for events like NFT mints or gaming tournaments, where throughput and scalability are required temporarily. This model significantly reduces cost, complexity, and risk for developers looking to scale on-demand without managing long-term infrastructure.
With billions in total value secured across restaked rollups and applications, AltLayer has quickly become one of the most trusted platforms for secure, flexible rollup deployment across the Web3 landscape.
AltLayer has been deeply involved in building DIN’s AVS infrastructure. As the core development partner for DIN’s AVS modules, AltLayer helped implement key components responsible for enforcing service-level agreements, staking logic, and slashing conditions using EigenLayer’s middleware.
Working side-by-side with the DIN team and the engineers at EigenLayer, AltLayer continues to ensure that DIN’s AVS remains compatible with upstream protocol changes and middleware improvements. Their work allows DIN to maintain forward compatibility, reduce fragmentation, and keep pace with the evolving EigenLayer ecosystem.
In addition to building core AVS logic, AltLayer helped design the onboarding flow for AVS operators and Watchers, ensuring a smooth developer experience while supporting decentralized participation.
Earlier this year, AltLayer supported DIN’s ephemeral testnet v0.1, v0.2, and v0.3. These were all milestone releases that successfully integrated EigenLayer’s new slashing mechanism. The testnet was used to onboard DIN Providers and Watchers, test key AVS interactions, and validate staking and penalty conditions in a live environment.
The success of this testnet demonstrated the real-world viability of DIN’s model: a decentralized RPC layer backed by performance-based economics and automated enforcement. AltLayer’s technical guidance was instrumental in enabling this result, and their support helped ensure a smooth rollout across multiple AVS participants.
Looking forward, AltLayer plans to offer DIN as a native RPC option for clients launching rollups through its RaaS platform. This integration would give developers direct access to DIN’s decentralized and crypto-economically secure RPC endpoints, while also helping distribute demand across DIN’s Provider network.
As DIN approaches its mainnet launch, AltLayer remains a critical partner in operational support, AVS refinement, and rollout strategy. Their continued collaboration helps ensure that DIN’s infrastructure remains aligned with the latest security standards, governance frameworks, and network incentives.
AltLayer’s long-term commitment to decentralization, verifiability, and high-performance infrastructure makes them an ideal tech partner for DIN’s mission.
AltLayer’s role in DIN extends far beyond integration. As a builder, collaborator, and strategic advisor, AltLayer has helped lay the foundation for DIN’s decentralized infrastructure to scale responsibly and securely. Together, we are building a future where RPC access, rollup deployment, and verifiable compute are modular, programmable, and economically aligned with the needs of developers and users alike.
