Polygon has made a name for itself in the DeFi space. It is the third-largest chain in terms of the number of active protocols.

Recently, the blockchain took a step in the direction of advancing Web3. But the development did not have any positive influence on the price of MATIC.

Avail was not just another update to the Polygon blockchain. Avail focuses on scaling the blockchain by separating the three main functions of every blockchain. This, by turning them into three dedicated chains for Settlement, Execution, and Availability.

The evidence of the same is visible in the transactions that have been conducted in the month of June. MATIC
