Avail is already doing some really amazing things in terms of blockchain scalability and interoperability. They recently deployed next-generation technologies and just recently closed a $60 million node sale for Sophon, a zk-validium network. These innovations demonstrate once again Avail’s promise to build the best foundational technology stack for developers building data availability into scalable blockchain applications. Their secret is a smart method of cutting the stress of repetitive infrastructure creation. This approach opens the door to much wider adoption of blockchain.

$60 Million Node Sale for Sophon

The recent $60 million USD raised through a node sale for Sophon is one indication of the strong demand for scalable blockchain solutions. Sophon, a zk-validium network will use Avail’s technology to improve its scalability and security. This successful node sale demonstrates the market's confidence in Avail's vision and its ability to deliver cutting-edge data availability solutions.

So, it was exciting to use Avail’s Light Clients to power the node sale, demonstrating some of the real-world uses for its technology. The cryptographic robustness of Avail's network was a key factor in the success of the sale, assuring participants of the network's security and reliability.

Avail Stack: A Hub for Blockchain Innovation

Today, more than 50 projects are growing and prospering on the Avail Stack. This trend is a testament to its growing clout in the blockchain arena. Members of this growing ecosystem of developers are already tapping into Avail’s technology. From decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to social media networks, they’re constructing a cacophony of new applications. The Avail Stack is becoming a central hub for innovation, fostering collaboration and accelerating the development of new blockchain solutions.

The Lens Protocol has recently launched its very own dedicated Lens Chain. Through Avail’s data availability layer, it has successfully onboarded more than 650,000 users, proving the scalability. We’re excited to have played a key role in helping Lens Protocol scale their operations sustainably. This partnership allows them to provide a frictionless experience for their growing fleet of riders. This successful integration serves as a reminder of the real-world benefits that Avail’s technology can provide.

New Technologies Drive Mass Adoption

Recently launched Avail technologies, like next-generation data availability solutions with Avail and more, are designed to take blockchain scalability and performance even further. These are things like Turbo DA, Enigma upgrades, Light Clients and 10GB Infinity Blocks. Together, each of these technologies contributes to maximizing data availability while minimizing the load on blockchain infrastructure.

Turbo DA has been designed to maximize data throughput, and supports higher volumes of transactions occurring at greater speeds and efficiency. Enigma upgrades Privacy and security are some of the biggest issues for blockchain developers and users, and Enigma fixes both. The addition of 10GB Infinity Blocks increases the ability to work with ever-larger data sizes. This major improvement greatly extends the power of the Avail network.

Avail offers a shared data availability layer. This greatly accelerates the pace of development and frees developers up to do what they do best, which is create amazing new applications. We believe this approach will lead to faster statewide blockchain adoption across all industry sectors.
