Builders leveraging tech stacks from Arbitrum, Optimism, ZkSync, Polygon, and StarkWare can have entry to AvailDA.
Avail, an information availability resolution that spun out of Polygon, has revealed integrations with 5 of the Ethereum ecosystem’s main Layer 2 networks.
Introduced on April 24, Arbitrum, Optimism, ZkSync, Polygon, and StarkWare will every combine Avail’s knowledge availability structure, Avail DA, into their respective tech stacks forward of the undertaking’s mainnet launch.
Avail mentioned that the 5 initiatives collectively host roughly 10% of month-to-month energetic builders inside the web3 ecosystem.
The mixing will permit builders leveraging Arbitrum’s Orbit and AnyTrust, Optimism’s OP Plasma, ZkSync’s ZK Stack, Polygon’s Chain Growth Package, and StarkWare’s Madara rollup framework to leverage Avail DA for knowledge availability providers.
Unification Layer
Avail introduced it had spun out from Polygon Labs in March 2023, taking Polygon co-founder, Anurag Arjun with it.
The undertaking is working to construct a “Unification Layer” designed to resolve the challenges of fragmentation inside Ethereum’s ecosystem of Layer 2 rollups. When reside, Avail’s Unification Layer will span AvailDA, its Avail Nexus permissionless interoperability resolution, and the Avail Fusion multi-asset staking protocol.
Avail printed its “roadmap to mainnet” on March 29, asserting it’s in its “last levels” earlier than deployment. Avail informed The Defiant that its mainnet launch will happen a while “within the subsequent few weeks.”
The undertaking nonetheless must deploy its last testnet, check its mild purchasers, and finalize its validator ecosystem earlier than scheduling its mainnet deployment.
Avail mentioned its testnet has hosted greater than 100 million transactions up to now.
AVAIL token
Avail unveiled plans for a local token and staking mechanism for its Unification Layer on April 4. The undertaking additionally mentioned it will discover a phased method to rolling out tokenized governance, with AVAIL holders in a position to take part in governing the undertaking.
On April 18, Avail adopted up by announcing it’s going to airdrop 600 million AVAIL to 345,605 wallets related to builders and customers from throughout the web3 ecosystem. Eligible wallets embrace blockchain ecosystem builders, incentivized testnet contributors, rollup customers, Polygon PoS stakers, and important group contributors.
“When deciding on the eligibility standards for the Unification Drop, we wished to reward these who’re making invaluable contributions to the ecosystem, and take constructing core blockchain infrastructure as significantly as we do,” Avail mentioned.
AVAIL claims will shut on Might 5. The undertaking added that it will launch a factors program following its mainnet rollout.
