Get started with Turbo DA
TURBO DA IS CURRENTLY IN PRIVATE BETA
Access to Turbo DA is currently limited only to whitelisted users.
If your team is interested in using Turbo DA, please reach out to us at business@availproject.org
Introduction
Avail DA today has a block time of 20 seconds, and a finalization time of 2-3 blocks, which is to say about 60 seconds in most cases. While this is more than enough for most use cases, some applications require a faster finality process to power their use cases.
Turbo DA is a solution to this problem. With Turbo DA, you can simply post your data to the Turbo DA API, and the service will give you a lightning-fast pre-confirmation in less than 250 milliseconds. Following this, we will make sure your data is eventually posted to Avail DA, with you not needing to do anything else.
How to get started
- Every account on Turbo DA needs to buy ‘credits’, measured in
KBs/MBsof data which is the amount of data they can submit to Turbo DA. - Turbo DA is a highly versatile service, and allows you to buy credits in exchange for a wide variety of ERC-20 tokens.

AppIDin the dashboard, and this is where your data will eventually be posted.
NOT FAMILIAR WITH APPIDS?
AppIDs are a core concept every developer building on top of Avail DA should be familiar with.
You can go through this page in our docs for the same.
