Avail light client campaign as airdrop-driven DAS bootstrapping
Quote116 words43 likes
Argues Avail's 100k+ light client campaign was smart because the block size that can be securely sampled grows with the number of light clients, so airdrop farmers bootstrap the DAS infrastructure. Expects wallets to embed light clients later.
Key claims
Securely sampled block size increases with light client count
Avail passed 100k+ light clients
Light clients will be built into wallets over time
Well, @AvailProject definitely made running a light clients cool lol
Considering what an important role light clients play in Avail's data availability sampling scheme this whole campaign is an absolute giga-🧠 move though.
The block size that can be securely sampled increases with the number of light clients, which means Avail is basically using airdrop farmers to bootstrap the light client infra needed to scale massively.
As light clients will probably be increasingly built into wallets and other tooling natively down the line, this will probably be less of an issue going forward.
But getting users interested in running these light clients in the beginning was a challenge and Avail mastered it with excellence.
Bullish. 🚀✨
