Polygon Avail Launches on Testnet to Turn Monolithic Chains Modular
If we want the entire world to join Web3, blockchains will need to handle more transactions. Monolithic blockchains can’t scale because they’re asked to perform too many tasks (execution, settlement, and data availability) at once. But if chains were able to focus on just one part of the stack at a time, the entire ecosystem […]
From Rollup to Validium With Polygon Avail
Rollups scale Ethereum by providing a separate layer where transactions can be executed. But they still rely on the mainnet to store transaction data, which is costly and eats up valuable blockspace. Polygon Avail is a modular data availability blockchain that solves this problem by taking the data off chain, helping bring the vision of […]
Understanding Polygon Avail & Modular Blockchains Through Metaphors
Polygon Avail is a modular data availability blockchain. For most people, that’s not much of an explanation. Below are a few clear metaphors for understanding modular blockchains, one of the most important concepts in the Web3 space. The metaphors mostly describe one potential use case for Avail - the Validium solution for Layer 2s. Future […]
Polygon Avail: Unlocking the Modular Blockchain Future
Blockchain architecture needs to evolve with the times. Whether people are coordinating in DAOs, executing complex contracts in DeFi, or investing through gaming with GameFi, the demand placed on today’s monolithic blockchains is increasing exponentially. The challenge is scalability. Monolithic chains are feeling the symptoms of their success: blockspace is coveted and expensive, and it’s […]
