We’re excited to be working with Avail to enable a secure and permissionless modular future. All rollups using Avail DA will also be accessible via Lava’s modular RPC and API layer.
Avail have previously raised $75m and launched their Mainnet yesterday on 23 July 2024, a major milestone in their vision to support the modular ecosystem with Avail DA, Nexus and Fusion. With many rollups set to launch on Avail, Lava will act as a key partner and serve as the modular RPC layer for each rollup.
This partnership will mean rollups can use Lava to attract RPC providers and handle user and builder requests. Rollups have to option to create incentive pools on Lava, further rewarding RPC providers in alternative tokens to LAVA.
Avail believes that trust should be universally accessible and that blockchains are the only way to achieve this at scale. That’s why Avail is building a unification layer to connect blockchains, so that web3 users and developers can work together. Avail’s modular blockchain solution is designed to unify Web3 and optimize data availability (DA) for scalable and customizable applications.
Avail is backed by prominent investors such as Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, DragonFly Capital, and Cyber Capital. Avail is solving blockchain scalability from first principles with Avail DA, a foundational DA layer that implements the same technology planned for Ethereum’s danksharding roadmap, including KZG Commitments and Data Availability Sampling (DAS). Avail Nexus addresses growing fragmentation concerns with permissionless interoperability, leveraging proof aggregation on Avail’s scalable DA layer. Avail’s security is then reinforced with multi-asset staking through Avail Fusion.
Lava is working with both established blockchains, as well as upcoming rollups, to serve as their modular data access layer. Chains create incentive pools on Lava to attract RPC providers that, when aggregated by Lava, can be more reliable, distributed and scalable than independent providers. Incentive pools can consist of any token, including native tokens, stablecoins and memecoins.
NEAR, Evmos and Axelar have existing incentive pools on Lava, with the Lava testnet already serving over 50 billion RPC requests across 4 million wallets. The Lava protocol routes user requests to top providers based on historical speed, uptime and accuracy. In the future, other infrastructur providers such as indexing and oracles can be supported.
Lava’s vision is to accelerate the adoption of blockchain-based applications, by enable reliable and fast conections to any blockchain.
