Avail

What Avail does

Avail is a modular blockchain infrastructure company that provides a unification layer for the multichain Web3 ecosystem. The company was founded as a research project inside Polygon Labs in 2020 and spun out as an independent entity in March 2023 under the leadership of former Polygon co-founder Anurag Arjun and former Polygon research lead Prabal Banerjee. Avail Technology Limited is incorporated in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), United Arab Emirates, and operates as a remote-first organization with team members distributed across multiple geographies.

The company's core product portfolio consists of three integrated components. Avail DA is a data availability layer that uses KZG commitments, erasure coding, and Data Availability Sampling across a light-client P2P network to provide cryptographically verifiable and horizontally scalable data availability, with approximately 20-second finality and a claimed 55x cost advantage over Ethereum blobs. Avail Nexus is a cross-chain coordination layer that enables bridgeless, intent-based cross-chain execution, unified balances across 13+ chains (including Ethereum, Solana, and major EVMs), and a solver network that competes to fulfill user intents. Avail Fusion is a multi-asset restaking protocol that extends network security to BTC, ETH, SOL, and other assets. Supporting products include the Nexus SDK, Nexus API, avail-connect wallet SDK, TurboDA for high-speed data posting, Enigma DA for encrypted rollup data, FastBridge unified stablecoin bridging, and the Avail x402 agentic payment layer.

Avail's go-to-market is product-led, targeting developers and protocols through SDK integrations, comprehensive documentation at docs.availproject.org, and strategic partnerships with major rollups (Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Starknet, ZKsync) and DeFi protocols (QuickSwap, Clober, Bean, Atlantis, KalqiX, Space & Time, Sophon, Lens, TRON dApps). Revenue is token-mediated: rollups and app-chains pay DA fees in $AVAIL, and Nexus protocol revenue flows back into the ecosystem via $AVAIL buybacks. The company has raised $75M across a $27M seed round (February 2024) and a $43M Series A (June 2024) from Founders Fund, Dragonfly Capital, HTX Ventures, and other Web3 investors, and acquired Arcana in August 2025.

Revenue model

1. Data Availability Fees: Activity on Avail DA requires fees to be paid in $AVAIL by all integrated customers. Rollups and app-chains pay for data availability services using the AVAIL token.
2. Nexus Protocol Revenue: Activity on Nexus generates protocol revenue that flows back into the ecosystem via $AVAIL buybacks. Nexus uses Avail DA in the backend, creating usage demand for the token.

Direct peers

• Celestia: The leading modular data availability layer using Data Availability Sampling and a light-client model. Directly competes with Avail DA for rollup and app-chain DA workloads, with the same architectural approach (DAS + KZG).
• EigenLayer / EigenDA: EigenDA is a restaking-secured data availability service built on EigenLayer. Competes with Avail DA on the same fundamental pitch — cheaper DA for rollups — but leverages ETH restaking rather than a standalone token.
• NEAR DA: NEAR Protocol operates a data availability layer (NEAR DA) targeting rollups. Direct peer to Avail DA on the modular data availability value proposition, with established validator set and live integrations.
• Wormhole: Cross-chain messaging infrastructure that competes with Avail Nexus in connecting liquidity and applications across chains. Already listed as a Nexus integration partner, reflecting overlapping use cases.
• LayerZero: Cross-chain messaging protocol enabling omnichain applications. Competes with Avail Nexus for cross-chain interoperability budgets of DEXs, bridges, and DeFi protocols.
• Axelar: Cross-chain interoperability network providing message passing and bridging. Overlaps with Avail Nexus on cross-chain coordination and unified asset routing.

Broad incumbents

• Polygon: Avail's former parent and current ecosystem partner. Polygon operates its own zkEVM, PoS chain, and AggLayer — making it a broad incumbent in the same modular/scaling space where Avail plays.
• Ethereum (EIP-4844 / Danksharding): Ethereum's native blob data via EIP-4844 and the planned full Danksharding roadmap define the baseline cost/availability Avail competes against. The strongest incumbent competitor for rollup DA spend.

Emerging players

• Across Protocol: Cross-chain bridge and intent-based transfer protocol. Competes with Nexus for cross-chain transaction routing and unified liquidity, particularly for DeFi users.
• Li.Fi: Cross-chain bridge and DEX aggregator. Already integrated as a routing partner with Avail Nexus but also operates as a competing cross-chain aggregation layer in its own right.
