Aligned Launches $ALIGN Token for Ethereum Infrastructure

Aligned, a full-stack Ethereum infrastructure project, launched its native utility token $ALIGN on August 21, 2026. The ERC-20 asset is available on Ethereum and Base with a fixed total supply of 10 billion tokens, of which approximately 16% are circulating at launch.

The token serves as the primary payment method for services across the Aligned infrastructure stack. This suite includes a Proof Aggregation Service and Wallet-as-a-Service, with Rollup-as-a-Service and interoperability protocols scheduled for future release. The project was developed in collaboration with LambdaClass and 3MI Labs to provide institutions and fintechs with a single integration point for building financial products on Ethereum.

As part of the launch, Aligned distributed a Genesis airdrop to researchers, developers, and holders of various ecosystem tokens. The technical foundation of the stack includes the LambdaVM, a RISC-V zero-knowledge virtual machine, and Ethrex.
