Avalanche Developers 🔺

Granite is now live on mainnet! Dynamic, faster blocks + improved ICM message verification + Biometric signing support 🤝

Grants are structured across three milestones over 12 months. Researchers keep full IP rights and can publish freely. If this is your work, or someone you know, apply by June 1 → build.avax.network/grants/avalanc…

The Avalanche Foundation is offering grants of up to $50K for original research in two areas: → Cryptoasset pricing and valuation: what actually drives value in decentralized networks? → Validator economics and network security: how should staking incentives be designed for long-term sustainability? Better economic models mean better protocol design, better tooling decisions, and a more resilient network for everyone building on it.

You build on Avalanche. You know how staking mechanics, validator incentives, and fee dynamics shape the network every day. Now the Avalanche Foundation is funding the research underneath it all.

Sub-second finality. Agent-native fee markets. 1.9B interactions already processed. Kite Passport is live. Cryptographic identity + scoped delegation for AI agents, built into a sovereign @avax L1. Learn more and start building → build.avax.network/blog/kite-pass…

The 7702 Collective just dropped their debut report and it’s the builders-first breakdown crypto needed. Modular chains, AA, intents, EIP-7702. We had a thing or two to say about the appchain thesis too. Check it out 👉7702collective.com/report.html

Most workshops are just demos with a registration form On April 7 we're doing something different — a 75-minute research session with the @avax team. Avalanche runs on a leaderless consensus protocol built for speed, with a subnet architecture that lets teams deploy their own chains. One of the few L1s where the technical foundation actually matches the reputation. No pitch. Just an honest breakdown of what's worth building on it right now — with the people who built it. For founders still figuring out their chain. Make sure to leave your questions and comments under this post — we’ll review them and include the most interesting ones in the session.

The inaugural Build Games competition has concluded With over 2,000 applicants, 50+ grantees, here are the 3 grand prize winners:

Deploy production Avalanche L1s or Primary Network validators to AWS, GCP, or Azure — one repo. Validators, RPC, block explorer, faucet, ICM Relayer, monitoring, Safe — all included. Terraform + Ansible or Kubernetes. Your call. 📖 build.avax.network/docs/tooling/a… 📦 github.com/ava-labs/avala…

DeFi liquidity is broken. Here's why 👇 AMMs: the backbone of most DEXs have 3 structural problems nobody talks about enough:

At current @avax's fees, @solana 's 2024 memecoin gas costs would have been $250K instead of an estimated $1.2B. $1,199,750,000 in savings. That is nuts. 🧵

There is an unprecedented number of quality projects coming from build games. We went from: > ~2000 applicants > ~1000 teams formed > ~400 into stage 2 > ~120 into stage 3 > with 20 making it to pitch day > to 3 grand winners with dozens of grantees What to expect from here:👇

Builder Console 2.0 has arrived! No Core Wallet requirement. New badge achievements. New UI design. Connect MetaMask, Rabby, or any EVM wallet. Create L1s, manage validators, transfer cross-chain. Same console. Any wallet.

What happens when you remove slow validators from consensus? - Fewer failed queries - Faster block finalization - Lower API latency That's why Avalanche is moving the uptime requirements from 80% to 90% Validators: set up monitoring if you haven't → build.avax.network/docs/nodes/mai…

Ready to ship? Build Games is a $1M builder competition on Avalanche with milestone-based rewards, mentorship, and ecosystem support. Join before apps close on Wednesday, 2/18: build.avax.network/build-games

Working at the intersection of AI + blockchain? InfraBUIDL(AI) funds projects building AI agents, verifiable AI systems, and AI-native infra on Avalanche. Plug in: build.avax.network/grants/infrabu…

If you’re building on Avalanche, there’s funding and ecosystem support available to help you ship faster. From infra tooling to custom L1s, capital is aligned with builders who are executing. Here’s what’s available 👇
