Ethereum is the settlement layer. Build full-stack, decentralized apps on top with Web Assembly at the EVM.

关于我们

Layer is a fast-growing Web3 startup that helps developers use off-chain compute for their on-chain apps. We develop a WASI runtime for actively validated services (AVSs), allowing you to build fully decentralized protocols that use offchain state and compute. Our vision is to resurrect the true principles of web3: creating a trust-based, decentralized internet, and combating techno-feudalism. Layer was co-founded by three blockchain pioneers: Jake Hartnell (CEO), who previously co-founded Juno and DAO DAO; Sam Cassatt (CBO), former Chief Strategy Officer at ConsenSys; and Ethan Frey (CTO), founder of CosmWasm and architect of key protocols like IBC for the Cosmos ecosystem. Launched in September 2024, Layer announced a seed fundraising round of $6 million, with a valuation of $72 million, solidifying our position as a leader creating new paradigms in decentralized coordination and development.

    It’s time to embrace a multi-chain world. A Meta-Chain isn’t a blockchain. It’s not an L2 or a bridge—it’s a computational engine that can operate off-chain, read from any blockchain, and secure state with restaking. It has become increasingly frustrating how projects must box themselves into arbitrary technical bounds. Meta-Chains break that paradigm. They don’t rely on a single chain for security—but rather combine restaking from multiple networks like EigenLayer, Babylon, and Solana. Meta-Chain circuits—autonomous computational units process, validate, and act on data across networks. Built on WASI (WebAssembly System Interface), these circuits allow for high-performance, sandboxed execution that still allows for rich system interactions. Operating on a “reactive” rather than “push” model, we can simply define what we care about and react accordingly. Imagine autonomous AI agents that can securely interact across multiple blockchains, decentralized systems that seamlessly blend on-chain and off-chain computation, or cross-chain applications that don’t require complex bridging mechanisms. The possibilities are genuinely transformative. If you’re a builder who’s felt constrained by current blockchain architectures, or if you’re excited about creating applications that weren’t possible before, we want to hear from you! #metachains #IBC #AI

    Training AI costs millions, yet model selection remains high-stakes guesswork. Enter information finance. Decision markets don't just incentivize better predictions—they create a new kind of infrastructure for decision-making under radical uncertainty. This approach to innovation funding captures what Hayek called "the knowledge of the particular circumstances of time and place." It's a solution that acknowledges both the distributed nature of technical knowledge and the need for efficient capital allocation in advancing frontier AI capabilities.?In a field as complex and fast-moving as AI development, that might be exactly what we need.

    Last week about 30 members from Blockchain@Berkeley attended Devcon hosted by Ethereum Foundation in Bangkok, Thailand. ?? Here is what we did: ?? First Ever International Summit: We hosted a Security Summit apart of the ZK HUB ?? Infinite Hacker House: Co-Hosted a Hacker House with College DAO, Blockchain Acceleration Foundation (BAF), Eigen Labs, and Layer ?? Two Co-Hosted event with Stanford Blockchain Club, Binance Labs, and Coinbase ?? Two members won 4 tracks apart of ETHGlobal Bangkok Hackathon and Two members won second place at the OOO Web3 Marketing Hackathon Stay Tuned on our twitter (https://lnkd.in/ga3-asNu) for recaps + analysis reports from speaker sessions during the conference!

    When your hacker house is tougher to get into than Ivy League schools... you know something special is brewing ?? The numbers are in: 200+ brilliant minds applied from 19 different countries, but only 9% earned a spot at the Infinite Hacker House - our most ambitious builder program yet. In collaboration with Eigen Labs, Layer, Blockchain Acceleration Foundation (BAF) and Blockchain at Berkeley, we're about to turn Devcon into a builder's paradise. What makes this special? - 10 days of pure building cutting-edge AVSs - Direct access to EigenLayer and Layer teams - Research bootcamps that go far beyond a typical hackathon - Free Devcon tickets for all students - $7,500 in hackathon winnings up for grabs for each project. Our students will dive into an intensive research and development journey, working directly with the tech that's redefining blockchain infrastructure. This blend of hands-on building, exclusive workshops, and deep research is unlike anything before it for students. Let the infinite sum games begin.
