#500: Anurag Arjun, Co-Founder of Avail, on Interoperability, Liquidity Unification, and The Future of Crypto
AI Summary
In this episode, Anurah Arjun, co‑founder of Avail, explains how the platform tackles the biggest misconceptions around multichain interoperability by unifying liquidity and creating a single, intent‑based user balance across rollups and different blockchains, including EVM, non‑EVM and eventually Solana. He highlights that poor UX remains the core barrier to mainstream crypto adoption and argues that a unified liquidity layer and chain‑agnostic architecture are essential to solve fragmentation. The conversation also touches on emerging threats such as quantum computing, the future of crypto, and how Avail’s multi‑token economic security aims to unlock a seamless multichain user experience.
