In a landmark development for blockchain interoperability, modular infrastructure provider Avail has announced a strategic integration with the TRON network that promises to unlock TRON’s massive stablecoin ecosystem to global decentralized finance. This collaboration through Avail Nexus will enable TRON’s decentralized applications to access liquidity and markets across 10+ blockchains without bridges or complex gas management, potentially transforming how users interact with the $77 billion USDT ecosystem on TRON.

Lumia is integrating Avail Stack’s modular tools—including scalable data availability and cross-chain protocols—to improve RWA tokenization. The partnership introduces Avail Nexus, a messaging layer for secure asset transfers without centralized reliance. Lumia, which already manages $220M in tokenized real estate and a $1B Sen Group deal, plans to expand its ecosystem with the upcoming Lumia Hub for lightweight NFT-based RWA management. Analysts project the tokenization market could hit $16T by 2030, with Lumia positioning itself as a key player in compliant, scalable infrastructure. CEO Kal Ali emphasizes growing institutional demand for blockchain-based asset solutions.

Polygon’s zkEVM chain, acquired for $250M in 2021, is reportedly running at a $1M+ annual loss with development ‘quietly discontinued,’ according to researcher Lorenz Lehmann. The chain never integrated Ethereum’s Blob upgrade to reduce costs, while its TVL has plummeted 80% in 2025 to just $16.25M. The struggles coincide with leadership shifts at Polygon, including CEO Sandeep Nailwal becoming the sole active founder. Though officially slated for sunset in 2026, evidence suggests zkEVM is being wound down early as Polygon pivots to other initiatives like AggLayer and its proof-of-stake chain.

Avail has launched its full-stack blockchain infrastructure solution, the Avail Stack, aiming to capture a projected $306 billion market by 2030. The stack includes Avail DA for scalable data availability, Avail Nexus for seamless cross-chain connectivity, and Avail Fusion for pooled security. Backed by $75 million in funding and led by ex-Polygon founders, Avail is powering major Web3 projects like Lens Protocol and Sophon. The platform addresses key industry pain points like fragmented liquidity and complex cross-chain processes, reducing user friction with intuitive in-app experiences. With 50+ partnerships in the pipeline, Avail is positioning itself as a foundational layer for the future of interoperable blockchain ecosystems.

SocialFi, which aims to decentralize social media and empower users with data ownership and monetization, has struggled to gain traction due to technical limitations, fragmented platforms, and subpar user experiences. Despite its potential to disrupt the $200+ billion social media ad market dominated by Meta, platforms like Friend.tech have seen rapid declines in active users. Experts argue that SocialFi needs purpose-built infrastructure, seamless UX, and innovative networking models to succeed. Without these improvements, it risks fading into obscurity rather than challenging Web2 giants.

Ethereum’s rollup-centric scaling model enables a multitude of high-throughput sidechains with varying execution environments, offering unparalleled experimentation potential, according to Avail co-founder Anurag Arjun. However, critics argue this L2-focused approach fragments liquidity and weakens Ethereum’s base layer, contributing to ETH’s underwhelming price action. Meanwhile, Ethereum L1 transaction fees hit five-year lows in April 2025 ($0.16 avg.), signaling reduced demand and institutional disinterest, as noted by Santiment’s Brian Quinlivan. The debate continues between Ethereum’s modular flexibility and monolithic chains’ simplicity.

Web3 must adopt a microservices approach akin to Amazon’s to scale effectively while enhancing user empowerment. By focusing on platform independence and seamless communication between specialized services, Web3 can overcome fragmentation and create a unified experience that fosters innovation and mainstream adoption. The future lies in building essential infrastructure that supports diverse applications without locking users into isolated ecosystems.
