Aligned Layer has extended the KYC deadline for its ALIGN token sale to May 11, 2026, at 7 PM UTC. The update was posted on the project’s sale portal. Only the verification window has changed; the auction format, pricing range, and participation rules remain the same.
100 million tokens will still be sold through an English auction
The sale covers 100 million ALIGN tokens, equal to 1% of total supply. It will continue to use an English auction model, where bids rise over time until a final clearing price is set. The stated price range runs from $0.01 to $0.10, implying a fully diluted valuation between $100 million and $1 billion.
Contribution limits are unchanged as well. The minimum investment is $200, while the maximum is $100,000. If demand exceeds the available supply, allocations will be handled through a water-filling model based on the final price.
KYC through Sonar remains mandatory
The practical effect of the extension is simple: users now have more time to complete identity verification. According to the sale details, participants must pass KYC through Sonar before they can enter the auction. Anyone who missed the earlier cutoff can still finish checks, prepare funds, and connect a wallet.
Keeping the registration window open longer may also broaden access for users across different regions. In a demand-driven auction, the number of qualified bidders can affect the final clearing price, even though the underlying rules have not been altered.
Project details include supply, circulation, and airdrop allocation
Aligned Layer is focused on Ethereum infrastructure built around ZK proof technology, aiming to make verification faster and cheaper while preserving sensitive data. The project has raised more than $20 million. Its product stack includes a Proof Verification Layer, a Proof Aggregation service, and planned wallet and rollup tools.
On tokenomics, ALIGN has a total supply of 10 billion tokens, with about 16% expected to be circulating at TGE. Allocations include the team, investors, ecosystem incentives, and community distribution. The disclosed airdrop share is 8.74% of total supply. Earlier campaigns have already involved more than 160,000 wallets, and users can check eligibility and claim status through the project’s airdrop checker.
No listing confirmation yet
There is still no confirmed exchange listing for ALIGN, and there is no live market price because trading has not started. The source also noted an absence of early bids, suggesting some participants may be waiting until later in the auction before submitting orders.
For users tracking the sale, the clearest update is narrow but important: the KYC deadline has moved, while all other sale parameters are unchanged.
