🌟We're pleased to announce our strategic partnership with Avail & Delphinus Lab, focusing on optimizing data availability for scalable rollups.

With our combined expertise, we're paving the way for developers to create secure, effective, and trustless Web3 applications.…

The Nodekit team is building some really cool stuff on synchronous interop.

Looking forward to working together.

Hongkong is going to be an interesting place for blockchain technology.

Was good to talk to Rita Liao from TechCrunch on this piece.

Avail Nexus combines ordering guarantees with execution proofs to enable cross chain composability.

Proof aggregation is a core component of this - and this is proof aggregation across similar proving systems. It's a big challenge, but we have made good progress.

First MVP is…

in non-crypto markets, market share / valuation of platforms >> market share / valuation of aggregators

crypto:
> swapping: combined mc of 1inch and 0x = ~$1b vs uniswap = ~$7.6b mc
> bridging: socket/bungee = ~$2.2b volume vs across = ~$1.7b volume (disproportionate since 15…

Until recently, there has been less innovation on the execution / settlement / aggregation layers relative to the da / sequencing layers as a part of the modular stack. Exploring these dynamics lately and published thoughts in a recent piece

Miden by Bobbin Threadbare and team is splendid work. Client side zk proofs are coming.

It can work as a conventional Ethereum rollup and as a native Avail rollup.

Can’t wait for Rust programmability to be implemented!

btw Avail has this neat component called Fusion, which will use restaked ETH and BTC along with to bolster cryptoeconomic security in the future.

Essentially enabling rollup blockchains powered by restaked ETH and BTC.

Cost of security: paid via AVAIL staking rewards

This is…

Agree 👍

Blockchains enable infra for developers that cannot be turned off by a central party.

Zynga built a billion dollar company based on the Facebook API and was forced to shut down gradually after FB shut down access to their API.

This is what we need to be selling to developers.…

Minor nitpick: there is no such thing as the right place at the right time.

You need to be grinding away at the right place for a sufficiently long time, so that when the right time comes, you are there.

Having said that, a lot of successful founders overestimate their…

I am very much following the BTC L2 landscape and am a supporter of Citrea.

But imo the better design to build something with Bitcoin security is to be utilising staked wrapped BTC on Avail DA via Fusion and building a rollup blockchain on top.

More secure bridges are coming.…

This is directionally correct.

But you need to have shared notions of ordering and validity of execution to build the underlying substrate.

Avail Nexus is architected for this. Study Avail Nexus.

This is the way.

Sometimes I put my system engineer hat on and take a look at new project whitepapers and frankly >90% of them are full of made up shit that hand wave a bunch of implementation complexity and seem to be written by people who haven’t shipped real world systems ever.

To each their…

Avail is a blockchain for other blockchains.

Rollups are blockchains.

Avail scales and connects rollup blockchains together.

Ser I can understand that Eigen DA is still under development and components like the disperser are centralised for now.

But contrasting that with Avail DA with a robust consensus mechanism with upto 1000 validators and randomised block producer selection and implying that both…

Integrity proofs being developed by our co-conspirators at Ternoa

Great work Prabhu Eshwarla!

Conspiring to solve rollup security together.

This is the way.

You know what it’s time for. April recap!!! 💃

𝙴𝚖𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚞𝚎𝚕 🇬🇭🦉 Rollups are blockchains that post their blocks to another blockchain, and inherit the consensus and data availability (DA) of that blockchain.

It doesn't matter if the rollup uses a single node or multiple. If the rollup has a decentralized set of operators, all of them still…

Had a great time doing the podcast and talking through the Avail vision and how blockchains are going to evolve.

Also touched upon the real issues that rollup devs should focus on such as enabling user acquisition, making it frictionless to bring users to the chain and more.…
