Anurag Arjun, Co-founder of Avail, is a seasoned entrepreneur who has founded several successful startups across diverse industries, ranging from cash flow lending to regulatory tech. With a strategic move into the blockchain space in 2017, he co-founded Matic Network, which has since evolved into Polygon, a platform for scaling Ethereum.
In 2020, Anurag spearheaded the development of Avail, an innovative solution within the Polygon ecosystem that empowers developers to create fast, efficient, and scalable applications. As a pioneer with a background spanning research, economics, and engineering, Anurag's unique skill set has been invaluable in creating Avail and the broader blockchain community. In March 2023, he and co-founder Prabal Banerjee spun off Avail from Polygon to embark on a journey to empower rollup and application blockchain communities with the development of a unification layer that enables modular execution layers to scale and interoperate in a trust-minimized way.
With an unwavering commitment to realizing the full potential of modular blockchain technology, Anurag is excited to leverage this cutting-edge approach to maximize Avail's impact. His expertise and vision continue to drive Avail's success and position the company at the forefront of the blockchain revolution.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- Founding Polygon in 2020
- Why a unification layer is needed
- Present day L2s
- Avail ecosystem: Gaming , AI, Bitcoin L2's, DeFi, Wallet & Infra
- Modular blockchains
- Avail’s mainnet launch
- $27mm raise, led by Founders Fund and Dragon Fly
- The future of L2s and roll-ups
- L1s as tribes
- Web3 infrastructure
