Several top Ethereum Layer-2 (L2) networks, such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, zkSync, and Starkware, are preparing to integrate Avail’s Data Availability (DA) solution, according to an April 25 statement shared with CryptoSlate.
This integration will grant rollup builders access to Avail DA and its ecosystem, facilitating the development of scalable and efficient rollup architectures across the Web3 landscape.

On Arbitrum, Orbit builders can use Avail DA after its mainnet release, eliminating the need to rely on AnyTrust and its external Data Availability Committee.
Nina Rong, Head of Ecosystem Development at Arbitrum Foundation, said:
“[The] ability to leverage Avail will expand the range of options available to Arbitrum Orbit developers, enabling builders to freely choose which solution best suits their needs.”
Meanwhile, Avail said it is collaborating with OP Labs, a core contributor to Optimism, to enable seamless integration with its ecosystem, allowing Optimism developers to scale their applications further to meet increased demand.
On the other hand, Polygon will incorporate Avail DA into its Chain Development Kit (CDK), enabling developers to integrate Avail DA seamlessly while maintaining cryptographic security, atomic composability, and chain sovereignty. This ensures unified liquidity and a scalable architecture.
Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, said:
“Avail DA’s integration with Polygon CDK provides a robust data availability layer that enhances the developer experience. It’s important to provide this type of optionality to developers when the ultimate goal is to enable a thriving and robust ecosystem of connected blockchains through the AggLayer.”
Avail collaboration with StarkWare would see its integration with the Starknet-powered Madera rollup framework, which allows developers to build appchains.
Eli Ben-Sasson, CEO of StarkWare, said his firm is “excited about solutions that unify Web3 and optimize data availability, leading to highly scalable and customizable rollups. Avail is key in this effort, using validity proofs to ensure transactions are processed quickly and in order.”
Lastly, Avail DA will also integrate with zkSync’s ZK Stack, a modular framework that simplifies the customization and deployment of interoperable ZK-powered blockchains.
Ramon Canales, the Head of Product at zkSync developer Matter Labs, noted that limited data availability is a significant obstacle to mainstream adoption in the blockchain industry. Avail’s un-opinionated base layer can support any blockchain, addressing this issue and supporting limitless scaling.
