Note that, like all analogies, this one is imperfect. For one, Avail is not a data or file storage solution at all! Instead, it records transactions from any other blockchain and proves the data is available so that we can scale blockchains in a secure and decentralized way [6/7]

I grew up with cassette tapes and vinyl LPs. Those formats had ecosystems of devices that tightly coupled the physical encoding to a specific use—to encode something meant to be interpreted differently, and you’d need a whole new ecosystem of devices [2/7]

Similarly, monolithic (or “eager”) blockchains tightly couple the consensus process that yields agreement on the sequence of blocks with a specific execution environment and interpretation of those transactions. Up until now, most public chains work this way [3/7]

It’s similar to how a hard drive allows for different uses—a hard drive can store audio like an LP, or photos like film, but the interpretation that it is audio or a photo happens at a higher layer. And that means it can be used for all kinds of things! [5/7]
