Very excited to release the Avail thesis for coordinating and unifying the rollup-centric future.
When we began building Avail back in 2020, rollups development had just begun and we knew they were the biggest innovation to scaling execution for blockchains. But they are hungry…
The day is here! We’re unfolding the cards!
Avail raises $27m, led by
@foundersfund
and
@dragonfly_xyz
to accelerate the unification of web3!
With this, we’ll build the Avail trinity - a three-phase roadmap aimed at unifying multiple ecosystems in web3.

@0xPolygon

- a really fast zero-knowledge crypto prover that can prove any EVM transaction (Zero)

Not sure if many people fully understand what direction Polygon is taking - the modular blockchain thesis is not a meme or a narrative.

We are working on a comprehensive hardware acceleration strategy at Polygon for all our zk-rollup efforts - Hermez, Zero and Miden.
Currently based on conversations with h/w accel. folks, GPU and FPGA both work ofc. However, FPGA toolchain exp is not as smooth relative to GPU.

@paradigm
Research!
As ZKPs become more integrated into L1s and L2s, the opportunity for ZK mining could grow to a size similar to that of PoW mining.
FPGAs, not ASICs or GPUs, are the best answer to meet the unique compute needs of ZK-rollups.

This is correct. Building on Substrate has enabled us to look at the ecosystem closely. Multichain ecosystem, cross chain interoperability, validity verification, etc.
Everybody building in the modular ecosystem needs to take a step back and deeply study & use Polkadot.
Polkadot is a goldmine of lessons for both, what not to do and what to do.
What we're all building with the modular ecosystem, Polkadot has built in a sense, a century ago.

The better way to frame this argument is to acknowledge that we are going to live in a rollup centric future. These rollups will be as diverse as they can get. Think EVM rollups, Cairo rollups, WASM rollups, custom logic rollups, ABCI rollups and so on.
Most Internet apps work…
Shared sequencing + shared proving give you synchronous composability.
They also effectively turn all of the rollups into one rollup.
There are reasons to do this or not, but we should be honest about it...

Eigenlayer is a clever mechanism to "borrow" security. Other mechanisms are Babylon's via BTC and the Osmosis team's approach of mesh security.

Doesn't take into account staked MATIC tokens.

Bitcoin is good because it’s boring.
Now we need to figure out ways to utilize it for powering other infra on top. Babylon is doing fine work here. We are doing our bit via Avail Fusion.

Developers be like - Polygon knows what they be doing yo ✅
Polygon (formerly Matic) is now supported by The Graph's hosted service!
If you're building a dApp on Layer 2, you can now query data using a subgraph! Join

Had a great discussion with the DWallet folks in London. They have come up with a clever way to programmatically use native Bitcoin in rollups and elsewhere.
This will enable a whole bunch of programmability on top of Bitcoin.
Coming soon to an Avail DA rollup near you.

I am grateful to be a part of this great

Bunch of underdogs with can-do attitude.
Really feeling stoked!

An early example of blockchain tech already in the mainstream is
@terra_money
.
For those not in the know, it has touched 1,100,000+ users and processed ~$104 mn in payments in South Korea.
What does it do?
To Indians, this may not be new, but is a big deal in other countries.

I think it's perfectly fine to be bullish about Solana and also to be thinking about ways to scale via rollups/L2s or similar.
If we want this technology to be eventually used by 8bn people, there is no point fighting amongst ourselves. Modularism vs monolithic is an artificial…
As I have said in the past, and to respond to all the DMs at once, we aren’t building an L2. It’s not even on the billing.
Simply pondering that it is not out of the question, and it’s a topic on literally every app builder’s mind right now in Solana.

2/ Before we get into the weeds, what is Avail?
It's a data availability-focused blockchain targeted towards standalone chains and off-chain scaling solutions. It is built to provide a high guarantee of data availability to any light client.

I am having absolute fun building Avail out.
Check out our new website and identity here. We had fun doing it.

Wasm VM, Custom state machines with Stackr, Risc0, SP1
Miden VM, Mina VM, Mozak VM.
Custom rollups are going to become so easy to program and spin up that they will replace the role of a smart contract.
Coming soon to an Avail DA rollup near you.

This is the right take.
Apps on the Internet do not run on 1 big supercomputer. They work as separate microservices and talk to each other when required. Each microservice can scale independently.
I believe with the advent of rollups, all blockchain execution will follow a…

Experience teaches you one thing most.
A lot of people are very good at telling other people what to do or what they are doing wrong.
But when tasked with to do it themselves, can't for the life of them, execute.

As with the modular vs monolithic argument which is an artificial construct, the cryptoeconomic vs cryptographic security juxtaposition is similarly an over-simplification.
Systems will require a combination of both. You use tools that are appropriate for the relevant solution.…
i suspect the most important crypto debate over the next 5 years will not be eth vs sol or modular vs monolithic but cryptoeconomic vs cryptographic security
nice to see that debate staged by three very favorite figures

Well written, thoughtful article on web3 and crypto apps.
But web3 is not exactly "replace web2 servers and clients with web3". web3 is a good catch-all term which exemplifies some of the properties of web3/crypto apps and infra, but is not literally accurate nomenclature.
Wrote some notes summarizing my first impressions of web3:
