Avail’s Nexus Mainnet goes live, targeting unified liquidity across multiple blockchains

Avail has launched Avail Nexus Mainnet, a cross-chain system intended to connect rollups, appchains, and decentralized applications into a single operational environment where assets, liquidity, and users can move between chains more seamlessly.

In a statement shared with The Block, the modular blockchain infrastructure provider said Nexus is now live across ecosystems, including Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Monad, Kaia, HyperEVM, and Scroll, with Solana to follow shortly.

Avail co-founder Anurag Arjun said current blockchain fragmentation and "risky bridges" have constrained both the developer and user experience.

"They can no longer be separate networks passing messages to each other; rather they should function as integral parts of a unified, verifiable system where assets, users, and intended actions move freely," he said.

Nexus introduces an intent-solver architecture that determines optimal routing and execution on behalf of users, supports multi-source liquidity so transactions can draw funds from multiple chains at once, and uses exact-out execution to deliver predictable results regardless of liquidity location.

Avail said unified verification will follow, enabled by Avail DA, allowing cross-chain actions to be backed by verifiable data rather than independent checks on each chain.

"This moves the blockchain environment from its current 'moving messages between chains' to shared execution and shared liquidity; a fundamental upgrade in how the onchain economy functions," the team said.

Cross-chain UX and developer tooling

For users, Nexus aims to provide a single experience across ecosystems without traditional bridging steps or gas-token switching, while offering deeper liquidity, improved pricing, and access to applications irrespective of the deployment chain. "This is a usability shift toward making Web3 for the real users of the next generation of consumer apps," Arjun added.

Meanwhile, developers can integrate Nexus through SDKs, APIs, or lightweight components, enabling one-time integration for a multichain user base, unified collateral pools that update across chains in real time, intent-based trading, and cross-chain actions without managing routers or bridges. Avail said its data availability expertise underpins the system and will extend further through Avail DA's planned Infinity Blocks roadmap, which targets 10 GB block capacity and support for spinning up high-throughput appchains connected to the broader ecosystem. 

The AVAIL token serves as the coordination asset for the network, and is currently trading for around $0.0080, according to The Block's AVAIL price page.

Fellow co-founder Prabal Banerjee said Nexus is designed to remove the traditional complexity of cross-chain execution. Builders can focus on application logic while the infrastructure handles routing, verification, and execution, he said, describing liquidity and execution as shifting from chain-specific resources to network-wide ones.

Nexus Mainnet launches with live integrations or in-progress deployments across DeFi, infrastructure, SocialFi, AI, and cross-chain tooling, according to Avail. Projects including Lens Protocol, Sophon, Space & Time, Lumia, Validium Network, Vanna Finance, Mace, Clober, Station X, Nexus AI, Bitte.ai, Neova, Gummee, and Symbiotic are adopting the system to enable use cases such as unified collateral management, intent-driven execution across liquidity venues, and multi-chain liquidity aggregation, the team said.

With Nexus Mainnet now live, Avail said additional chain integrations and ecosystem expansions will roll out over time.
