Avail,
a
closely
watched
blockchain
data-availability
(DA)
project,
confirmed
details
of
an
upcoming
drop,
after
screenshots
of
the
eligibility
criteria
leaked
out
last
week
on
the
social-media
platform
X.
According
to
a
blog
post
from
the
Avail
team,
354,605
wallet
addresses
are
eligible
to
claim
the
600
million
tokens
in
their
“unification
drop.”
Recipients
are
widespread,
but
the
team
said
that
they
must
be
either
blockchain
ecosystem
developers,
testnet
contributors,
users
of
rollups
(Polygon,
zkSync,
Starknet,
Optimism,
and
Arbitrum),
Polygon
PoS
stakers
or
Avail
community
members
that
have
made
significant
ecosystem
contributions.
Recipients
are
able
to
start
verifying
token
claims
now
up
until
May
4,
and
the
tokens
will
be
distributed
when
Avail
DA
launches.
Last
week,
CoinDesk
reported
that
the
details
of
the
token
airdrop
were
leaked,
and
many
of
the
details
were
confirmed
in
Avail’s
blogpost
on
Thursday.
Avail
came
into
the
limelight
last
year
for
developing
its
DA
solution,
which
helps
blockchains
with
data
processing
off-chain.
DA
solutions
have
gained
a
lot
of
buzz
over
the
past
few
months,
with
the
debut
of
projects
like
Celestia,
which
went
live
in
October,
and
Eigenlayer’s
EigenDA,
which
went
live
last
week.
In
February,
Avail
shared
details
about
two
other
core
products
that
the
team
is
building
out:
Avail
Nexus,
which
is
an
infrastructure
layer
that
connects
different
rollups
to
each
other
through
the
Avail
ecosystem,
and
Avail
Fusion,
which
will
take
crypto
assets
like
ether
(ETH)
or
bitcoin
(BTC)
and
contribute
them
to
Avail’s
security.
“The
unification
drop
is
a
unifying
force
bringing
different
communities
together,
rewarding
developers,
governance
contributors,
technical
educators,
rollup
users,
stakers
and
other
valuable
contributors
from
across
multiple
blockchain
communities,”
Avail
wrote
in
a
blogpost.
