Interoperability: $200B+ in Ethereum liquidity, open to your users

Your users need stablecoins, DeFi, and digital assets — but that liquidity is spread across Ethereum. Our interoperability layer connects your chain to all of it. Your users access the entire Ethereum ecosystem without leaving your application.

How it works

01.

Launch on Aligned

Your chain is connected to the Ethereum ecosystem from day one. No extra integration work.

02.

Bridge assets natively

Direct transfers between Aligned-powered chains. No routing through L1, no third-party bridges, no extra fees.

03.

Your users access everything

Stablecoins, DeFi lending, DEX trading, and more — all accessible from your application.

Built different

Why This Matters for You

If you're building payments, remittances, or any financial product — your users need access to stablecoins and liquidity. This layer makes that possible.

Shared Bridge

Direct asset transfers between Aligned-powered chains. Fast, native, no third-party dependencies.

Native to the Stack

Interoperability is built into Aligned's infrastructure from the ground up. Not bolted on from a separate vendor.

Coming: Cross-Ecosystem Connectivity

Intent-based interoperability protocol in active research for connecting beyond Aligned-powered chains.

Solutions powered by interoperability

Rollup as a Service Wallet as a Service

Frequently asked questions

What liquidity can our users actually access?+

Your users get access to $200B+ in Ethereum liquidity — stablecoins (USDC, USDT, DAI), DeFi lending and borrowing, DEX trading, and digital assets across the Ethereum ecosystem. All accessible from within your application, without your users needing to leave or use external bridges.

Do we need a third-party bridge?+

No. Aligned-powered chains share a native bridge for direct asset transfers between them — no third-party dependencies, no extra fees, no additional security assumptions. Assets move between chains in the Aligned ecosystem natively.

What about connecting to chains outside the Aligned ecosystem?+

We're actively researching an intent-based interoperability protocol for cross-ecosystem connectivity — connecting to chains and liquidity sources beyond Aligned-powered rollups. This is in the research phase, and founding partners get priority input on how it's designed. For now, native interoperability within the Aligned ecosystem and standard Ethereum L1 bridging cover most use cases.
