Polygon has made Avail, a scaling system that lets developers add blockchain apps to the main Polygon chain and other blockchains, available.
Anurag Arjun, the main developer of Avail, told CoinDesk that the new solution would let developers access blockchain data “off-chain,” which means they wouldn’t have to constantly check data from the network for an application built on Polygon.
Using applications based on Avail, developers would be able to upgrade, split, and change the way their blockchains run.
Arjun said, “This is very important for both decentralized finance and game makers.” “They might need to fix problems, try out different ways of doing things, or just depend less on other networks.”
He said that the device was made to solve “data availability” problems that scalable applications have. How can nodes be sure that when a new block is made, all of the information in it has been sent to the network? This is a hard problem that blockchain engineers need to figure out. If a block producer doesn’t show all of the transactions in a block, there’s no way to know if there are any bad ones hidden inside.
Avail uses complex mathematical algorithms to evaluate blockchain data given by node operators. This lets Avail figure out whether or not the data is valid without requiring all node operators to verify it.
Arjun told CoinDesk, “Availability can be shown by downloading a very small random sample of all the data,” which solves the problem with data availability.
“Monolithic” blockchains like Ethereum can’t grow right now because there are already too many jobs to do (execution, settlement, and data availability). Scaling technologies, like Avail, focus on a certain number of application requests at a time. This helps speed up transactions.
Avail can be used on any blockchain that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). EVM is the software framework that developers use to build Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dapps).
