Avail’s Roadmap to Mainnet
It’s time to lay out the exciting final steps before Avail’s mainnet release.
The countdown to mainnet is on! Thousands of chains have been deployed on the Avail testnet with more than 100 million transactions processed. We’re getting extremely close to launching mainnet and embarking on our mission to unify web3.
Wen mainnet?
Before mainnet, there’s just a few more things that need to be done…
- Light Client Challenge
Light clients, powered by Data Availability Sampling are the most unique part of Avail. These light clients directly contribute to the security of the Avail network, and ensure every piece of data you interact with is guaranteed available.
The light client challenge gives the Avail community a chance to participate in the network directly, and helps us test a core piece of Avail’s infrastructure.
- Deploy Final Testnet
The last few months have been critical in strengthening the DA layer that will scale thousands of rollups and throughout that process we've been constantly monitoring and making optimizations to the Avail network. The final testnet is nearing completion and ready for deployment and monitoring. We will temporarily run the Goldberg (Clash of Nodes) testnet in parallel, but the new final Testnet will be the Testnet we operate indefinitely alongside Avail Mainnet. More information is coming soon.
- Tooling/Infra Optimization
We’re making tweaks to the bridging UI and extending hardware wallet support amongst other tooling and Infra enhancements to ensure deployments, and monitoring can run smoothly post release.
- Getting Production Ready
The core dev team is fine tuning their incident management and critical response processes so that we can respond to any emergencies.
- Clash of Nodes Completion
The sun will set soon on the Clash of Nodes incentivised testnet. A huge thanks must go out to all the participants who made it possible and please make sure to check your position on the leaderboard if you haven’t already. Information about rewards for participants is coming soon.
- Validator set Finalization
Our journey to 1k validators began while operating the Clash of Nodes Incentivized Testnet. Over 300 validators participated, proving the production-readiness and scale of Avail’s hybrid ledger. For the Avail DA mainnet launch, we’ll gradually increase our validator count as we establish the strongest and most decentralized security layer in the modular ecosystem.
- Rollup Stack Integrations
Most every rollup stack will be available when Avail launches on mainnet. To support this goal, Avail has on-going integrations happening with rollup stacks so that developers can build on whichever stack they like.
Contact us at info@availproject.org if you’d like to make sure your stack is included..
- Launch Partners
We have a lot of exciting launch partners and are working towards on-boarding more every day before the final release of mainnet!
Once all of this is complete, we’ll be releasing Avail DA on mainnet.
Of course, there are also some exciting steps we’ll be taking along the way to incentivize and reward our community for their participation. Stay tuned.
We’ll be keeping the community up to date as we progress through these steps on X.
