ep. 174 - All About AVAIL: Data Availability for the Rollup Future with Prabal Banerjee

Dive into the DA innovation with this exclusive interview featuring Prabal Banerjee, co-founder of Avail. In this comprehensive discussion, we explore Avail's mission to unlock the full potential of blockchain by focusing on three pivotal areas: data availability, multi-asset shared security, and interoperability. Learn why data availability is crucial for scaling blockchains, especially with Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap. He compares Avail's approach with other players like Celestia and EigenDA, discussing the trade-offs and security models each brings to the table. Learn how Avail aims to make blockchain transactions verifiable by users themselves, ensuring data integrity without needing to trust operators, through innovative methods like data availability sampling and KZG commitments. We delve into the complexities of integrating such technologies into existing blockchain stacks, the economic implications of data throughput versus demand, and how Avail plans to incorporate multiple asset classes into its security model to enhance the overall cryptoeconomic guarantee of its network. This video not only covers the technical nuances but also touches on strategic decisions like choosing the Substrate SDK for development, highlighting the advantages and ongoing challenges of maintaining and updating within such an ecosystem.
