Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Avail says Nexus mainnet launched from Arcana integration in Q4 2025.
  • Arcana’s technology now powers unified balances and intent-driven execution across Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum.
  • Most Arcana staff joined Avail, expanding execution capacity beyond 55 employees.

What critics are saying

  • Arcana no longer operates independently; Avail owns 100% of XAR supply since August 2025.
  • XAR holders face 4:1 token conversion, phased unlocks, and diluted upside.
  • If Nexus adoption stalls by Q4 2026, Arcana’s brand and roadmap vanish inside Avail.

What makes Arcana unique

  • August 2025: Arcana’s chain abstraction, wallet, auth, and MPC stack folded into Avail Nexus.
  • Arcana served 100-plus developer teams across 10-plus chains with 2.5M wallets.
  • Its absorbed team and proprietary stack strengthen Avail’s multichain execution layer.

Arcana raised $5.5 million, while Avail has raised $75 million. The acquisition aims to unify multichain infrastructure for crypto adoption.
