Avail + Symbiotic: Creating a Unified Framework for Innovation
We're thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Avail, the company building a modular unification layer to bring the crypto ecosystem together. As part of this strategic partnership, Avail DA will serve as a data availability solution for builders in the Symbiotic ecosystem. In addition, Symbiotic will help power Avail's Fusion security network layer, which incorporates native assets from the most established ecosystems—including BTC, ETH, and more—to provide additional security to the Avail ecosystem. Symbiotic’s highly flexible restaking framework simplifies integration, allowing any protocol to quickly leverage shared security without compromise.
Unifying Web3
Crypto has seen remarkable innovations, but fragmentation remains a significant challenge. Avail's vision of a unification layer, comprising Data Availability (Avail DA), Verification (Avail Nexus), and Security (Avail Fusion), aims to solve this. Symbiotic’s framework for shared security is a perfect complement to make unification a reality.
Integrating Avail DA
The integration of Avail DA with the Symbiotic framework significantly reduces dependency on traditional recurring costs, fostering more sustainable operations across the board. This advancement helps enable new classes of innovative applications using a wide range of validated services, such as intent networks, insurance networks, policy engines, computational engines, validation and sequencing services, coprocessors, and more. Builders opting for this integrated platform benefit from enhanced cryptographic security that spans multiple layers and asset types, including ETH and other ERC20 tokens. This comprehensive security approach not only elevates the platform's utility but also establishes a solid foundation for developers who aim to create advanced, secure, and economically viable blockchain applications.
Powering Fusion
Symbiotic's modular architecture allows for rapid development and seamless integration with existing systems. By pairing Symbiotic with Avail's native staking mechanism, Fusion becomes truly asset agnostic, enabling a diverse range of cryptocurrencies to participate in securing the network. This approach not only strengthens the overall security by distributing risk across multiple assets but also enhances the economic resilience of the Avail ecosystem. The flexibility of Symbiotic's framework allows Fusion to dynamically adjust its security parameters based on market conditions and network requirements. This adaptability ensures that Avail can maintain optimal security levels and handle any external conditions.
Avail's integration showcases how Symbiotic can be seamlessly integrated into any protocol at any stage of development:
- Enhancing the Fusion Security Layer: Symbiotic enables Avail Fusion to pool different tokens, including established assets like ETH and BTC, to bolster the overall security of the Avail network.
- Complementing the Unification Stack: Symbiotic’s modular design allows Avail to integrate shared security exactly where it's needed, complementing the DA layer and Nexus aggregation layer.
- Future-Proofing Security: As Avail's ecosystem grows, Symbiotic's flexible framework can easily adapt to secure new components and include new assets.
Going Forward
Our work with Avail DA & Fusion is just the beginning of our collaboration with Avail, and future posts will include more research and development regarding other parts of the stack. We're excited to work with Avail to tackle the challenge of fragmentation in the crypto space. By combining our security expertise with their innovative data availability and verification approach, we're taking steps toward a more unified blockchain ecosystem through modularity.
