AutoLayer (LAY3R)

AutoLayer is the premier LRTfi (Liquid Restaking Tokens Finance) app on Arbitrum, consolidating all LRT offerings, strategies, and DeFi opportunities into one convenient interface. The project is backed by Kucoin Labs, Morningstar Ventures, Dewhales, Staked.vc, and more.

In its latest version, AutoLayer becomes a sophisticated platform in the EigenLayer ecosystem. It efficiently manages Liquid Restaked Tokens (LRT), Liquid Staked Tokens (LST), AVSs, operators, and other ecosystem incentives.

Acting as a gateway to LRTfi, AutoLayer facilitates the development of strategies to optimize the use of LRT. It is integrated seamlessly with major DeFi platforms including UniSwap, SushiSwap, Balancer Labs, Camelot DEX, Yearn Finance and GMX.

🗝️ Key AutoLayer’s features include:

• 1-Click Liquid Restaking and Liquid Staking;
• Analytics Engine;
• Restaking Strategies;
• AVS Scoring.

🤑  The project has its native token, $LAY3R, which plays a key role in the protocol's ecosystem and grows in value as the user base expands. Currently, there is no fee, but the platform plans to introduce a fee ranging from 0.05% to 0.20% on all transactions conducted via AutoLayer. 

After the launch of $LAY3R token, AutoLayer will add a transparent commission to every transaction with which the user will automatically buy $LAY3R and $ETH in the market to provide liquidity to the LAY3R/ETH pair. The Escrowed Liquidity AutoLayer Token ($esLAY3R) will then be issued to the user's wallet. 

By holding $esLAY3R tokens, you accumulate more $LAY3R tokens over time, with the yield increasing the longer they are held. After 30 days, the liquidity provider (LP) tokens begin to mature, peaking at 12 months. Users can withdraw their LPs after 30 days, at any time, the longer the position is held, the higher the yield.

On May 30th, 2024 AutoLayer announced the upcoming IDO on the Magic launchpad, allocating 307,69K tokens (0,96% of total token supply) for the round. In addition, the project has announced Road to IDO campaign powered by Magic Square.
