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.
