Polygon(MATIC) Avail Testnet is now live

The Polygon Avail Testnet is now live.

Currently, Avail has a block time of 20 seconds with each block capable of holding around 2 MB of data. Assuming an average transaction size of 250 Bytes, each Polygon Avail block today can hold around 8,400 transactions (420 transactions per second).

More importantly, Avail can consistently fill blocks right up to the storage limit, and increase size as needed. There are numerous levers we can pull - many quite quickly - to get that number above 500,000 transactions per block (25,000 transactions per second) as the need arises.
