Node Monster Joins Avail Network as a Validator

We're excited to announce that Node Monster is now operating as a validator on Avail, supporting one of the most innovative modular blockchain infrastructures reshaping Web3. With over 650,000 user profiles already building on Avail and 25+ applications live on the recently launched Nexus mainnet, we're joining at a pivotal moment in the network's growth.

What is Avail?

Avail is a modular blockchain platform solving two critical challenges facing the decentralized web: data availability and cross-chain interoperability. Led by former Polygon co-founder Anurag Arjun and backed by $75 million from top-tier investors including Founders Fund and Dragonfly, Avail delivers a three-layer architecture that's reshaping how blockchains scale and communicate.

Why Avail is Unique

Avail stands out as the only chain-agnostic data availability layer combining KZG polynomial commitments with Data Availability Sampling (DAS). This breakthrough approach enables:

• Industry-leading performance: 250ms preconfirmations with 20-second DA finality
• Light client verification: Full-node security on resource-constrained devices like mobile phones
• Scalable infrastructure: Currently processing 4MB blocks with a roadmap toward 10GB+ 'infinity' blocks and sub-second block times
• Decentralized validator network: Currently there are 105 validators supporting the network. The network can onboard up to 1000 validators.

The platform's DA layer uses erasure coding and validity proofs to guarantee data integrity, allowing rollups and layer-2 solutions to scale without compromising security or decentralization.

Avail Nexus: Redefining Cross-Chain Experiences

Nexus transforms how users and developers interact with multi-chain applications. Unlike traditional bridges that force users through complex 12+ step processes, Nexus creates truly "bridgeless" experiences:

• Intent-based execution: Users express what they want to accomplish; Nexus handles the complex cross-chain routing automatically
• Unified liquidity: Applications can tap into liquidity across all integrated chains without fragmentation
• One-click interactions: Deposit, swap, stake, and transact across chains without leaving the application
• "Deploy once, scale everywhere": Developers maintain a single app instance that works across all 13+ integrated ecosystems
• Borrowed infrastructure: New chains launching on Nexus immediately access existing DeFi infrastructure like Uniswap and Aave without redeployment

Nexus enables users to deposit, swap, stake, bridge, and transact across chains without ever leaving their application, making blockchain complexity invisible to end users.
