Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, StarkWare, and zkSync have integrated the data availability layer from the Avail modular blockchain. This integration is aimed at helping developers create more scalable, cost-effective, and composable networks. The new functionality will be available following Avail’s upcoming mainnet launch, expected in the coming weeks.
Developers building rollups on platforms like Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, StarkWare, and zkSync can now utilize Avail’s data availability layer. Avail works closely with OP Labs to ensure seamless integration with the Optimism ecosystem. Orbit developers can leverage Avail’s data availability layer instead of relying on an external Data Availability Committee. Avail’s data availability layer will also integrate with the Polygon Chain Development Kit and collaborate with StarkWare to integrate with the Madera rollup framework. Additionally, Avail’s data availability layer integrates with ZK Stack from zkSync.
Avail is positioned as a data availability layer for Optimism, Validium, and other solutions running on top of it. This technology allows data availability to be hosted and validated off-chain, serving as a key component of the modular network design concept. The solution aims to reduce blockchain load by moving data and increasing scalability, ensuring the security and correctness of transactions outside the main Ethereum network.
On April 24, the project team launched Turing, an environment for testing scalability and other essential aspects of the mainnet. The Turing testnet is live, focusing on vetting deployments, stress tests, and scalability assessments.
As you transition from Goldberg to Turing, here are some things to keep in mind:
– Bugs are expected as we stress the system
– Stay updated on the latest developments and announcements from Avail for a seamless transition to the new environment.
