What is Avail Nexus? ELI5 🧵
Remember when every country had a different plug? You’d carry a bag of adapters, hoping you packed the right one. Then came the universal travel adapter, one compact device that works everywhere. Now you don’t think about plug shapes anymore. You just connect, and it works.
Crypto’s still in the “many adapters” era. Each blockchain has a different plug, different rules, tokens, gas, & setup. Want to use an app on a new chain? You need your 'adapters' like bridge, swap, switch networks, gas, etc. It works, but it’s a painful tourist experience.
Avail Nexus is the universal travel adapter for crypto. Whatever tokens you have on any chain, use them as one unified balance. The app gets the token on the chain that it needs. - No adapters - No conversions - No friction You plug in and it works.
For users, this means: - No bridging - No chain switching - No gas hunting - No extra steps One clean experience everywhere. Nexus eliminates “Which chain does this app use?”
For developers, this means: - Build once and serve users from all chains - No redeployments - No fragmented liquidity - Multi-chain from day 1 Apps don’t need to redesign for every “country.” Nexus makes them compatible everywhere.
For example, you’ve got USDT on Arbitrum, but you need BNB on the @BNBCHAIN. Old way: bridge → swap → switch → hope it works. With Avail: connect wallet → see unified balance → transact. Done in ~30 seconds. Like plugging into a universal adapter, and it just works.
Behind the scenes (which you never deal with): - Nexus detects your intent - Solvers compete for the best route - Gas is handled automatically - You land on the right chain with the right token Invisible complexity leading to a simple user experience.
