AltLayer ALT

What ALT actually is on-chain

AltLayer is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x8457ca5040ad67fdebbcc8edce889a335bc0fbfb. That address, not the ticker ALT, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself ALT, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, ALT is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in ALT itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

Another asset tracked on this site also uses the ticker ALT: Altcoin (Solana, Cdq1WR…uray). The asset on this page is specifically the Ethereum deployment at 0x8457…fbfb. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For ALT the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @alt_layer. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where ALT sits in the market

AltLayer sits at #501, inside the top of the small-cap band. Depth here is shallow enough that one large order walks the book several percent and the print mean-reverts within the same session — which is why a single fixed price level is a fragile trigger, and a condition that tolerates one wick is the more useful construction. Listings are concentrated across a small number of venues, so volume-driven delisting is an active risk here rather than a hypothetical one.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 6 live ALT order books (Binance, Bybit, Gate.io, HTX, Upbit, Bithumb). That is wider coverage than most assets ranked near #501 carry, so a divergence on any one of them is far more likely to be a local liquidity event than a genuine repricing. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

ALT against its all-time high

ALT is down more than 95% from its $0.6767 peak (on 2024-03-28), leaving a 112x gap to reclaim. A drawdown this deep strips the record of analytical use: the supply structure, the holder base and usually the market cycle behind that print no longer exist. For ALT the informative reference is the downside, which makes the range section below more relevant than this one. That high was set 3 years ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

ALT across its historical range

ALT has traded across a 126x range, between $0.00536566 and $0.6767. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

ALT trades within 12.8% of the all-time low of $0.00536566 set on 2026-06-06. Below that mark the chart is blank — no prior trading means no support level to cite, no volume shelf and no cluster of cost basis to lean on. That low is recent, so this is an active downtrend rather than an old floor holding: each fresh low retires the previous one as a reference.

ALT supply and valuation data

AltLayer sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for ALT but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $59.6 million as of 2026-10-30. That places it in the top 10% by fully diluted value.

That valuation is a point-in-time snapshot, not a live figure, so we deliberately avoid dividing it back into a token count — the price has moved since, and the arithmetic would yield a precise-looking supply number that is simply wrong. Read the current supply from the project's own explorer before relying on any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset ALT is

AltLayer is a liquid staking or restaking token, so its price is structurally tethered to an underlying asset plus accrued yield. The number to watch is not the absolute price but the discount or premium to the underlying: these instruments normally track closely, and a widening discount is a liquidity or counterparty signal rather than a directional view on the market.

CoinGecko files ALT under 10 categories, including BNB Chain Ecosystem, Binance Launchpool, Ethereum Ecosystem, Layer 2 (L2), Restaking. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading.

How to set a AltLayer alert that is worth receiving

AltLayer is the ERC-20 at 0x8457…fbfb on Ethereum — quoted on 6 venues we stream — high dated 2024-03-28 — rank #501. On this profile the condition that carries signal is thresholds anchored to the recent range rather than to the all-time high.
