All about Avail: The modular network unifying Web3

The blockchain ecosystem has advanced rapidly, but it has also become fragmented at a concerning pace. That’s why Avail has emerged with an ambitious and concrete proposal: to become the base layer that unifies the blockchain multiverse from the infrastructure level.

At Stakely, we actively participate in this network as validators on its mainnet, directly contributing to its security. In this article, we’ll explain how Avail works, what makes it different, and why we believe it’s key to the evolution of Web3 infrastructure.

Avail was created with the goal of separating data availability from the other functions of a blockchain, and offering it as a modular service. Instead of each network trying to scale and synchronize its own data infrastructure, they can delegate that task to a specialized, robust, and optimized layer.

But Avail goes beyond data availability. Its architecture is based on three components that work together to solve Web3’s biggest challenges: scalability, interoperability, and economic security.

This architecture is called the Unification Layer, and it consists of:

• Avail DA (Data Availability)
• Avail Nexus
• Avail Fusion

Unification Layer

Avail DA is the core technical component, combining KZG commitments with Data Availability Sampling (DAS) techniques, which make it possible to verify that data is available without downloading full blocks.

Its benefits include:

• True horizontal scalability: data availability adjusts to demand.
• Ultra-fast verification: confirmations in milliseconds, up to 15x faster and up to 90% cheaper than Ethereum.
• Compatibility with multiple environments: EVM, WASM, SVM, and more.

The Foundational Data Availability layer

Nexus is the coordination layer built on top of DA, designed to connect zero‑knowledge and optimistic rollups, as well as sovereign chains, without the need for centralized bridges.

How does it work? Through:

• ZK proof aggregation
• Decentralized sequencer selection
• A trust-minimized model for interoperability

For users, this means frictionless asset transfers across chains. For developers, it means a single integration with access to shared liquidity across multiple environments.

Cross-Chain Liquidity Flow

The third component, Fusion, introduces a shared economic security system, similar to EigenLayer, but multi-asset. It enables restaking of tokens like ETH, BTC, SOL, and other ERC-20s, along with the native AVAIL token.

It’s the first multi-token modular consensus and offers:

• Cross-incentives for those delegating tokens.
• Economic reinforcement for integrated networks.
• Resilience against attacks and adverse economic events.

Unified Economic Security And Multi-Asset Consensus

In addition to the three layers above, Avail introduces a key innovation: light clients, known as “a full node in your pocket.” These clients allow full-node security verification using minimal resources.

Perfect for mobile applications like SocialFi, GameFi, or DeFi—especially in emerging markets, where a mobile device or browser is all it takes to validate transactions.

A Full Node in Your Pocket

Avail is positioning itself as a full-stack unification layer, with real-world use cases such as light client implementations on chains like Sophon, or advanced developments like EnigmaDA, its encrypted data availability solution, and “infinity” blocks capable of reaching up to 10 GB with verification times as low as 600 ms.

Currently, Avail is part of the stack for projects like Arbitrum Orbit, OP Stack, Polygon CDK, zkSync, StarkWare’s Madara, Lens Chain, Space & Time, Lumia, Cartesi, rootVX, and more.

The AVAIL token officially launched on June 19, 2025 via Binance Alpha, accompanied by a public airdrop that distributed around 972 million tokens, equivalent to 9.2% of the total supply. This initial release was followed by an unlock on July 23, coinciding with the launch of its mainnet.

Functionally, you can use AVAIL to pay for blobspace, cover data availability-related fees, participate in AVAIL staking, and take part in governance. Interested in staking Avail? As active validators, we offer you the chance to participate directly in the network with maximum security and transparency.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Avail addresses three fundamental Web3 challenges: data availability, cross-chain interoperability, and modular economic security.

Its modular full-stack architecture (DA, Nexus, Fusion) is already live, backed by top-tier integrations, a clear tokenomics model, and strong partnerships. As validators, we’re on the frontlines, ensuring this vital infrastructure for the future of the decentralized web.
