Avail, a project that began inside Polygon and was founded by one of Polygon’s former co-founders Anurag Arjun and research lead Prabal Banerjee, spun out to become an independent entity and has now launched Avail DA on mainnet along with the AVAIL token.
After having played a key role in building out Ethereum scaling technologies at Polygon, Anurag has always been driven by a desire to bring blockchain technology to everyone. His ability to identify technological gaps early and execute successfully has helped make blockchain technology more usable and scalable for all.
Once it became clear that rollups were the best way to scale blockchains, Anurag immediately looked into how the underlying infrastructure could be better built to support a rollup-centric future. That led to the creation of the Avail Foundation which has set out to remove the barriers facing rollup scalability and interoperability with the Avail protocol.
The AVAIL Token
The AVAIL token is the utility token integral to the Avail ecosystem, enabling access to data availability services on Avail DA.
Developers looking to leverage similar features to those planned in Ethereum’s danksharding roadmap, like validity proofs and data availability sampling, can start using them today by integrating with Avail DA. The integration can be done with just a few lines of code, enabling developers to instantly start leveraging Avail DA’s core features. The AVAIL token is then used to access data availability services provided by the network.
AVAIL token holders can also contribute to the security of the Avail ecosystem via staking.
As the Avail network’s native asset, AVAIL plays a key role in the overall system design and network architecture within the Avail ecosystem.
Avail’s Partnerships
The Avail ecosystem has seen 110+ partnerships announced prior to launch.
Included in this are partnerships with the 5 most popular Ethereum rollup stacks, including Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Starknet and zkSync.
