quick life update: I have wrapped up my time at @AvailProject after almost 2.5 years with the team.
It's been a hell of a ride these past 2.5 years. Right from the pre-mainnet DA days all the way to launching both DA and Nexus mainnet together. Really cool to see everything we've built and achieved as a team. Being part of this team as a DevRel was more than I could ask for.
Over the years, we built Avail to be a Top 3 and most cutting-edge DA Layer with multiple rollups on top, and an interop/chain abstraction solution for apps and much more.
I remember when I joined the team back in 2023 when it had just split off from Polygon and was trying to find its footing as its own entity and brand, while also trying to be a place where developers would enjoy building on top of.
Since then, they've established a great presence in the industry, worked with tier-1 teams, and acquired others.
So cool to see this entire growth of pre-mainnet to post-mainnet maturity in the trenches LIVE on a day-to-day basis.
During this time I was able to build and execute across multiple vectors:
- Build and manage the dev community, including the Governance & Research Forum.
- Improving DevEx and relaying user feedback to Product.
- Started doubling down and improving my content game, with some of my work reaching 150K+ impressions
- Build demos and support integrations for partners.
- Rebuild and migrate the docs for improved devex
- Led and organized events for Avail during the conference circuit
... and so much more
Beyond the work, it's been great getting to know each of my teammates personally. Got to meet some wonderful people along the way and also make some friends. Including but not limited to @prabalbanerjee @anuragarjun @naruto11eth @thunder @christineRPM @ri5hitripathi @vibhu_rajeev @qedk_ @Swetha @alisonclaire @0xabhk @PriyankGupta03 @ScottMilat @kyleArojas @chandlerdkk and a lot more people who I've met and worked with in the past years. Some of them who have moved on since.
I'll keep cheering for the team and everything they have planned ahead.
As for me, what's next? More info about it coming soon.
Until then, take care, you beautiful people. You will be missed.

I tried @Showdown_TCG and I have thoughts.
The deposit flow could be a lot smoother with Avail deposit.

@Steve_Yegge I've been using these for decades for screen (including emacs in screen), so maybe just brain damage on my part makes it hard to use anything else -- but thought I'd share anyway

@Steve_Yegge highly recommend these tmux settings over the defaults, so C-b is backwards-char as my brain requires. C-\ SPC is also nice for cycling windows imo.
set -g prefix 'C-\'
bind 'C-\' send-prefix
unbind C-b
bind Space next-window

For a while we at @AvailProject have been exploring multiple directions to scale the blob size with minimum security tradeoffs and to go beyond KZG for post quantum era. Happy to open our recent work for feedbacks and peer review.
What FRIVail offers:
- Sharded blobs at its core allowing for horizontal scaling.
- Both qost quantum, and hybrid security models.
- Extremely efficient evaluations thanks to the incredible FRI Binius scheme from @jimpo_potamus and the team at @IrreducibleHW that we extensively use, and thanks to the binary field operations the performance on M-series chips is absolutely incredible.

Tried using a new dApp on a new chain. Ended up starring in a web3 horror film. Bridges, swaps, gas fees, multi chain drama, spiritual trauma....everything.
Featuring @ajayshetty02 as 5 different “sir please hold” characters 📷
But for real, web3 shouldn’t be this complicated.
@availproject can fix this!
Any asset. Any chain. One balance. Zero drama. 💙
