" summary

Avail builds a Substrate data‑availability layer that uses KZG polynomial commitments plus erasure coding and an extended block header containing a dynamic matrix and an application index. Validators verify generated headers, nodes expose RPCs for cell retrieval, and a Rust libp2p overlay of peer light clients forms a DHT to share samples. Light clients do data availability sampling, needing about 8–30 samples for near‑100% confidence. Testnets run 20s blocks (~1 min finality) with 2MB blocks; propagation and validator work are tuned but remain optimization targets.
