Avail

Avail is a modular blockchain infrastructure project spun out of Polygon in March 2023, founded by Polygon co-founder Anurag Arjun and former Polygon research lead Prabal Banerjee. It launched its mainnet on July 23, 2024, with a native token, AVAIL. Its core purpose is solving a problem that slows down every blockchain at scale: ensuring transaction data is available for verification without forcing every node to download entire blocks.

Avail’s primary objective is to enhance the availability and organization of blockchain transaction data, offering solutions that integrate into various execution environments and enable different blockchains to offload their data availability responsibilities while maintaining control over their own chains. Think of it as cloud storage for blockchains: your chain publishes data to Avail, and anyone can verify it exists without downloading the whole file.

Avail is built on a three-layer architecture. The stack combines scalable data availability through Avail DA, a cross-chain unification layer called Avail Nexus, and pooled security through Avail Fusion. Avail claims to be the only chain-agnostic data availability layer combining KZG commitments with data availability sampling, citing two cryptographic technologies that differentiate it from competitors.

Avail Nexus launched on mainnet in November 2025, enabling cross-chain coordination across Ethereum, Solana, and over 10 other ecosystems. The Nexus layer removes the need for bridges or network switching. Users and applications stay within a single interface while transacting across chains. Avail DA currently powers over 70 chains that use its block space.

Avail raised capital in two stages. In February 2024, it raised $27 million in a seed round led by Founders Fund and Dragonfly. Despite market headwinds, Avail raised $75 million total in 2024. Founders Fund backing a blockchain infrastructure project is significant because the firm has been selective about crypto investments. Dragonfly is one of the most technically focused crypto venture funds globally. Their co-lead on the seed round signals that Avail’s cryptographic approach passed rigorous scrutiny.

AVAIL is the native token of the Avail network and launched with the mainnet on July 23, 2024. AVAIL pays for data availability fees and secures the network through staking. Validators stake AVAIL to participate in block production and earn rewards. Avail Fusion also allows multiple crypto assets including BTC and ETH to be staked to contribute economic security to the Avail network. Every rollup or appchain that posts data to Avail pays in AVAIL, creating fee demand tied directly to how many chains use the network. As Avail Nexus expands to more blockchains, those networks also rely on Avail DA as their data layer, further extending that demand.

AVAIL is accessible on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges for standard purchases. For large token amounts, locked allocations, or SAFT notes, Acquire.Fi’s OTC and Secondaries Marketplace gives you a direct route to verified counterparties outside the open market.
