Expanding upon a Robust Basis

Avail, which broke out of Polygon last year, is using its creative approach to infrastructure to transform the blockchain space. The project’s main goal is to create a rollup-centric infrastructure that will let it establish itself as a major participant in the subsequent stage of blockchain development.

Having acquired $27 million in seed capital in February, Avail’s Series A funding round occurs just three months later. Avail was reportedly soliciting money for a second round of fundraising at the time, per The Block. With the most recent funding round, co-founder Anurag Arjun announced that Avail has raised $75 million in total, including a $5 million pre-seed round.

Considering the Future

Venture capital continues to pour into the world of blockchain technology, with Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund taking an important stake in Avail, a blockchain project. The $43 million Series A funding round, copartnered by Founders Fund alongside Dragonfly and Cyber Fund, signals a growing confidence in Avail’s potential.

Arjun stated that the Series A round, which was formally closed last week, was organized utilizing a combination of SAFT (simple agreement for future tokens) and SAFE (simple agreement for future equity). He chose not to address the valuation in his remarks.
