Avail: Infrastructure for a Rollup-Centric Future
- Avail is infrastructure for a rollup-centric future, supporting modular blockchains.
- This modularity allows for specialization and composability, like platforms such as Uber or Instagram.

- Avail Nexus focuses on secure and correct movement between chains, prioritizing asynchronous interoperability and eventual finality.
- It differs from Agler, which prioritizes speed for asset deposits between rollups with certain trust assumptions.

- Avail Fusion enhances crypto-economic security by allowing staking of various tokens like ETH and BTC.
- This shared security model benefits rollups built on Avail, unlike EigenLayer's restaking approach.
