Avail, Blockchain Data Availability Project, Sketches Out Eligibility for Token Airdrop
Blockchain data-availability project Avail is outlining eligibility criteria for a token airdrop, following the success of rival project Celestia's token, which has a market capitalization of over $1 billion. The eligibility criteria suggest that users of layer-2 rollups like Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, zkSync, and Starknet, as well as ecosystem developers and Polygon PoS stakers, could receive the AVAIL token. Avail was formerly part of Polygon and was spun out in March 2023. The move comes as Avail's competitors in the data availability space are gaining momentum, with Celestia's TIA airdrop in November 2023 already having a circulating market capitalization of $1.8 billion. Another competitor, EigenLayer, launched its own data availability solution on the Ethereum blockchain earlier this week.
