Avail Nexus is an interesting catalyst for $AVAIL 

Avail Nexus promises to build a unified ecosystem of rollups from different chains by providing a zk coordination rollup on top of Avail DA, which aggregates a single proof for multiple rollups from different blockchains while performing transaction sequencing via a decentralized sequencer selection mechanism. 

Sequencers with more $AVAIL staked would get the chance to batch transactions and earn sequencer revenue. 

This would eventually create competition to acquire more $AVAIL at the sequencer end if they manage to attract major cross-chain volume on Avail Nexus.
