Rumour.app is a novel trading platform developed by AltLayer, designed to give crypto traders an edge by capitalizing on early market whispers and rumors. The mobile-first app aims to consolidate information flow, allowing traders to catch, validate, and act on potential "alpha" (insider information) without having to switch between various social media and exchange platforms.
The platform is structured around real-time rumor sharing, community validation to filter noise from genuine leaks, and instant in-app trading capabilities. Its core value proposition is speed, enabling users to seize opportunities from early news—such as exchange listings or major partnerships—before they become mainstream headlines.
While the name "$ALT" is associated with Rumour.app's developer, AltLayer, the $ALT token itself is the native utility token for the AltLayer protocol. AltLayer is an open and decentralized protocol for rollups (layer-2 solutions), and its $ALT token is used for governance, protocol fee payments, and economic staking for enhanced security and finality of rollups. Rumour.app is a product built within the broader AltLayer ecosystem, utilizing the principles of acting fast on unconfirmed, high-value information.
