Deep dives
Avail Infrastructure for Modular Blockchain World
Avail focuses on building infrastructure for the modular blockchain world, offering solutions like Avail DA and Avail Nexus. Avail DA allows for cheaper transactions by posting data to Avail DA instead of Ethereum. Avail Nexus promotes interoperability among different layer 2 chains, creating a unified network for seamless transactions. Avail Fusion enhances security for new chain launches by providing a shared security model for validating sets.
Anurag's Background and Avail's Inception
Anurag, the co-founder of Avail, has a background in fintech and founded Polygon in 2017, where he initiated the development of Avail. Avail spun out as its entity in 2023, focusing on supporting rollups in the blockchain ecosystem. Avail's mission is to provide infrastructure to scale rollups in a decentralized and secure manner, moving towards a rollup-centric future for blockchain architecture.
Avail's Role in Rollup-Centric Future
Avail envisions a future where rollups replace traditional L1 blockchains through a more scalable and efficient model. By focusing on enabling various rollups to inherit security from base layers like Ethereum, Avail aims to streamline blockchain development and enhance user experience. Rollups on Avail are extensions of the platform, inheriting security from its foundational data availability layer, promoting a more unified blockchain ecosystem.
Avail Token and Long-Term Vision
The Avail token plays a critical role in securing the ecosystem and facilitating fees for data availability and staking. In the future, Avail aims to be a pivotal player in the rollup-centric blockchain ecosystem, where base layers support numerous rollups efficiently and securely. Avail's long-term vision focuses on transforming blockchain architecture towards modular and efficient rollup-based solutions, anticipating a shift in how blockchains are constructed and operated.
In this episode I talk to Anurag Arjun co founder of Avail and previous co founder of Polygon. We dive into Avail, which calls itself the Unification Layer Of Web 3.
We dive into what does that actually mean? What are they building? Why they believe the future of crypto is modular and so much more.

It's always up to you to do your own research. Just because I'm talking about a certain project or idea doesn't mean you should invest into it. You as an adult have to use your own judgement and free will to make the right choice for you. Take responsibility for your own actions and investment decisions and don't blindly follow podcasters, Twitter influencer's, Youtube creators etc.
Additionally you should assume I hold the token we're talking about unless I otherwise state I don't. I normally do research into investments I hold or am potentially looking to hold. So again, unless otherwise stated, assume I hold the token we're talking about.
In the case of AVAIL I'm pretty sure I do hold some from an airdrop.
