Discover Avail’s Rapidly Expanding Ecosystem

With modular blockchain architectures here to stay, many teams are building separate parts of the blockchain stack. Avail’s foundational data availability layer plays a key role in all of this, as it’s built to support multiple blockchains on top.

By harnessing similar mental models to web2’s microservices architectures, developers can enable verifiable blockchain computation to reach every corner of the internet.

Software engineers are utilizing this cutting-edge tech stack to build a new generation of blockchains. Builders across the ecosystem will deploy with the launch of Avail DA on mainnet, or shortly after.

Below is a deep dive into the various teams and technologies already on board:

Ethereum L2 Stacks

Few rollup stacks have been battle tested as much as the 5 most popular Ethereum rollups have, and now the rollup stacks of Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon CDK, Starknet and zkSync have been integrated with Avail DA.

This gives developers the ability to build with these popular rollup stacks and easily tap into Avail DA’s unique feature set. Developers can use this combination to build general purpose or application specific blockchains.

Arbitrum Orbit is a rollup stack which has been battle tested by hundreds of apps and millions of users on Arbitrum One. Arbitrum Orbit chains provide developers with the tools they need to use the Arbitrum Nitro stack for their own blockchain apps.

OP Stack is a standardized, shared, and open-source development stack that powers Optimism, maintained by the Optimism Collective.

Polygon CDK enables you to build your own ZK-powered Layer 2 custom-fitted to your needs. Its modular, open source software toolkit allows blockchain developers to launch new zero-knowledge proof L2 chains.

StarkWare focuses on building appchains using the Madara Rollup Framework to increase the speed of transactions, while bringing down their costs.

zkSync Hyperchains powered by the same zkEVM engine available on the ZK Stack and currently powering the first hyperchain, zkSync Era can be developed and permissionlessly deployed by anyone.

Application Specific Chains

One of the internet’s modern wonders is the idea of application specific microservices. Netflix, Uber and almost everything you interact with today gets built by combining many smaller, loosely coupled microservices which talk to each other and create applications that can scale to millions of users, and billions in some cases.

Blockchain technology hasn’t been ready for this approach, but now it is.

Just like in modern application development, teams are creating blockchains that fulfill a specific purpose. These blockchain-based building blocks enable developers to create far more sophisticated applications for their users. Avail DA is the supporting platform which helps enable this application specific activity to take place on top.

Here are some of the application specific blockchains leveraging Avail DA, adopting a new modular web3 primitive to scale the way the internet operates and scales today.

Fuse is a payments chain built to create Stripe level functionality in a web3 environment. It enables developers to integrate web3 native features effortlessly into their applications. Things like mobile payments, cost effective e-commerce solutions, NFT-based loyalty programs and branded stablecoins.

Stackr breaks down the barriers between web2 and web3 by making it easy to build and operate rollups. Stackr solves this with an SDK for building micro-rollups, where individual functions within a decentralized app are developed, optimized and maintained as independent state machines.

Chai Identity, Sybil & high performance are still a core problem with chains in the industry. Chai is building an L2 Validium based on proof-of-individualism that aggregates onchain & offchain identity proofs as BLS signatures and stores them onchain secured by an AVS. With sub-second finality and native sybil resistance, chai is the best place to build highly performant fintech apps onchain.

Meroku is a decentralized app store protocol allowing users to explore and access a vast range of applications from both the web2 and web3 worlds.

BTC L2

A number of teams have begun building L2s on Bitcoin, leveraging the world’s most well known and longest standing blockchain network. With ~10 minute block times and around 60 minute finality however, it’s not the world’s fastest blockchain.

Developers building Bitcoin L2s that require improved performance can use Avail DA for interim finality. Publishing transaction data to Avail DA is not only affordable, it provides finality in ~40 seconds. These interim DA guarantees can be verified by end users with consumer grade hardware, thanks to Avail’s Light Client network. The Bitcoin blockchain is then used for hard finality.

Avail will also enable interoperability between Bitcoin L2s with Nexus which is something they cannot get by building on top of Bitcoin alone.

Avail and others are providing the building blocks for BTC L2s to scale, connect and become more efficient. Here’s a look at some of the teams building BTC L2s and integrating their BTC L2 infrastructure with Avail DA.

dWallet Network enables Zero Trust Protocols (ZTPs) that maintain native Zero Trust security while operating across different networks. ZTPs powered by dWallet Network can swap, borrow against or stake native BTC (or any other native asset), bringing programmable native BTC to L1s/L2s, without bridging or wrapping.

Side Protocol is the extension layer of Bitcoin. At its core lies a settlement layer optimized to unlock programmability and scalability for the Bitcoin-centric rollup ecosystem.

Web3 Gaming

Throughput demands of popular games place significant pressure on underlying infrastructure. Web3 gaming is one of the most exciting growth opportunities for blockchain adoption and will be no different from its web2 predecessor.

Demands for inexpensive data availability from popular web3 games played a major role in driving teams towards adopting data availability committees (DACs). While using a DAC improves the experience for gamers by lowering costs and shortening confirmation times, the often centralized DACs lack decentralization guarantees, security, resilience, and end-user assurances that you get when you integrate with Avail’s DA layer. DACs increase the surface area where a user’s assets can be lost or frozen, breaking the fundamental guarantees that come with blockchain technology.

Avail’s unique approach to guaranteeing data availability with validity proofs and data availability sampling provide game developers with significantly improved rails to build web3 games on, guaranteeing data availability in a cost effective, trustless, decentralized and verifiable way. With Avail, game developers can simply plug into its decentralized infrastructure and focus on building quality games.

The cross-chain opportunities for web3 games powered by Avail Nexus will also enable game skins, loot and other assets to trade seamlessly across gaming environments unlocking a new world of interoperable possibilities.

Here are some of the builders already implementing Avail’s DA layer into their gaming stacks.

DeFi

Efficient access to liquidity is critical to any financial system and DeFi is no different. The speed and efficiency of decentralized finance is inherently tied to the performance of the underlying blockchain infrastructure. When the infrastructure becomes cheaper, faster and more connected, so too does the financial system built on top.

DeFi blockchains can now leverage Avail DA’s decentralized and validity-proven data availability layer to its fullest potential. While this can provide an important boost to the chain’s cost efficiency, finality time and scalability, Avail’s broader vision to unify web3 has the potential to create an even more profound impact.

Avail Nexus will permissionlessly connect blockchains within and beyond the Avail ecosystem, across all blockchains in every virtual machine realm, including the non-EVM world. This has a significant impact on the possible DeFi primitives available to the industry and some teams have already begun utilizing these unique capabilities, taking DeFi a big leap forward.
