Swellchain is an EVM Layer 2 Optimistic Rollup built on the OP Stack, designed for restaking-focused DeFi applications. The network extends Ethereum security through EigenLayer restaking while providing low-fee, fast-finality infrastructure for decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, perpetuals, and yield strategies. Swellchain uses rswETH as its native gas token and delivers sub-10-second transaction confirmation through AltLayer's MACH AVS integration.

As the Superchain's primary restaking hub, Swellchain differentiates itself by offering native restaking yield directly at the protocol layer, enabling capital efficiency for staked assets like swETH, rswETH, and swBTC. The network benefits DeFi protocols, yield farmers, and developers building applications that leverage restaked ETH as collateral and rewards, addressing liquidity scarcity and centralization challenges common in traditional Layer 2 systems.
