ePrint Report: Foundations of Data Availability Sampling

Mathias Hall-Andersen, Mark Simkin, Benedikt Wagner

Towards building more scalable blockchains, an approach known as data availability sampling (DAS) has emerged over the past few years.
Even large blockchains like Ethereum are planning to eventually deploy DAS to improve their scalability.
In a nutshell, DAS allows the participants of a network to ensure the full availability of some data without any one participant downloading it entirely.
Despite the significant practical interest that DAS …
