What is Avail (AVAIL)?

Deep Dive

1. Solving Scalability & Fragmentation

Avail addresses blockchain’s “data availability problem” – the costly storage of transaction data that limits throughput. Its DA layer uses KZG polynomial commitments and light clients to verify data without downloading full blocks, enabling rollups to scale while maintaining Ethereum-level security. By decoupling data availability from execution, Avail reduces Ethereum’s DA costs by ~99% (Avail DA).

2. Nexus: Cross-Chain Coordination

Avail Nexus acts as a zk-powered hub that aggregates proofs and routes transactions across chains like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB. Developers integrate once via SDKs to access:
- Unified liquidity from 13+ ecosystems
- Single-balance UX (no manual bridging)
- Intent-based trading (users specify outcomes, solvers handle execution)

This solves issues like fragmented liquidity and 12-step bridging processes (Nexus Mainnet).

3. Borrowed Security Model

Avail Fusion lets chains share security by staking BTC, ETH, or stablecoins, creating a decentralized validator set resistant to attacks. This contrasts with isolated chains that rely on their own token’s market cap for security.

Conclusion

Avail positions itself as foundational infrastructure for a multichain future – addressing scalability via modular DA, interoperability via Nexus, and security via pooled crypto-economic guarantees. As chains and dApps increasingly specialize, can Avail’s unification layer become the default “connective tissue” for Web3’s expanding ecosystem?
