I prefer proof of work to proof of talk.

March on Avalanche proved one thing: Our ecosystem is home to some of the strongest and most resilient builders in the entire industry. When things are easy, we build. When things feel hard, we build. To illustrate this, here is an incomplete list of highlights from the Avalanche ecosystem this past month. Comment below if we missed anything. Let’s begin. 1.

Retro9000 C-Chain Round 2 opens with a 10x points multiplier for all projects that reached Stage 2: MVP of Build Games. 17. Ava Labs General Counsel @leelaughs5x talked token classification & regulation on an episode of @BAndOShow. 18. @coreapp launched Unified Swaps, simplifying bridging for users. 19. @AvaxTeam1 announced sponsorship of the @clubhashcash hackathon. 20. @bears_salmon sponsored @avaxbingo ahead of their launch. 21. @TheArena drops their iOS mobile app. 22. @playoffthegrid unleashed “The Bride” character onto Teardrop Island. 23. @SiloFinance v3 went live. 24. @routescan_io unveiled an AI agent to help dig through onchain data in plain English 25. @blaze_stream hits a milestone: 250+ streamers live every day. 26. @pythonomics built a nochillio community app. 27. @TippiklLabs partnered with @onrampmoney to allow for instant purchasing of AVAX, USDT, and USDC directly on their platform. 28. @loopia_world integrated @AvaxTeam1, @wolfilandnfts, & @ferdybet into Loopia as interactive in-world experiences. 29. @irmr2 dropped his game “The Abyss: Seven Sins of the Grotto” on @TheGrottoL1. 30. @WeKeepWinning_ doubled their vault capacity, which was still quickly filled. 31. @BenqiFinance integrated repayment ability from any EVM chain. 32. @PyVax introduced native Python smart contract development for Avalanche. 33. @Tesseract_avax was integrated into Core Unified Swaps. 34. @cre8onavax’s testnet went live. 35. @complectlabs began building their decentralized ad network. 36. @pollitdotfun, a market for crowd sentiment on Avalanche, launched. 37. @renew_sh announced their platform: a billing system that aims to allow users to pay in local fiat but settle for merchants in USDC. 38. @Chess_Hustler, a no fee chess wagering platform, launched on web and The Arena app store. 39. @Rabtools launched with automated Pharaoh AutoVault rewards on C-Chain. 40. @amiknyc shipped 26 releases to gunzscope 41. @PredMarketsCom launched its prediction market on Avalanche with a referral prorgam. ...and more. Let us know what we missed below. Now go kick ass in April.

Take care of yourself, lots more to build🔺

As Build Games concludes, we would like to congratulate the teams, judges, and builders who took part in the competition. It has been fantastic to see new projects built, new community members join the ecosystem, and real products ship on Avalanche. Build Games has shown what happens when builders are given a clear challenge, a competitive environment, and the support to execute. Every project that shipped something real during Build Games has contributed to something bigger than the competition itself. But the journey does not end here. Projects that reached Stage 2: MVP of Build Games are eligible for a 10x leaderboard ranking multiplier in Retro9000 C-Chain Round 2. This is your opportunity to keep growing and earn further support based on real onchain activity. We will be watching 🔺

HUGE congrats to the winners and all involved in Build Games For those that didn't advance at certain stages and kept building, feel free to reach out to us. We are here to support

A new way to experience Midnight is coming… Introducing Midnight City Simulation, a world where you can experience rational privacy for the first time. Early access opens soon 👉 midnight.city

Mainnet is on the horizon! And that is only possible by having partners that can build the foundation of libraries, standards, and utilities of the network. In this episode of #Unshielded, what stands out in this conversation is how much of @OpenZeppelin efforts goes into the unglamorous work; the essential resources for builders. That work is informed by years of lessons across different ecosystems. If you want to know how to build safer smart contracts at scale, listen to @daluca share his insights with Midnight's @LoLoCoding .

1600+ AI agents have registered with 8004 on Avalanche. Some trade. Some give testnet $AVAX. Some send encrypted messages. All building for real use cases. Let’s meet a few:

The biggest infrastructure play of 2026 isn't obvious yet. AI agents need identity, execution, payments, and trust onchain. The chains that deliver this will capture trillions in agent-driven activity. Market hasn't priced this shift yet. 7 blockchains building for AI-native future before repricing: @NEARProtocol - One of the most AI-focused L1s today. Building @near_ai, a confidential and verifiable AI infrastructure designed for a user-owned AI economy with agent execution and privacy at the core. @GoKiteAI - AI-native blockchain focused on agent coordination and autonomous applications. Built to make onchain environments usable by machines, not just users. @avax - High-performance L1 increasingly used for AI systems. Over 2,000 agents already deployed onchain via ERC-8004, making it one of the most active agent environments today. @OpenledgerHQ - Blockchain designed for AI data coordination and verification. Enables agents to access, validate, and monetize data in a decentralized way. @StoryProtocol - IP-focused blockchain built for AI-generated content and programmable ownership. Critical as models interact with copyrighted and proprietary data. @AIOZNetwork - AI-native blockchain focused on decentralized compute, data, and inference. AI workloads are the core use case, not a side feature. @Bittensor_ - Decentralized intelligence network where AI models compete and earn based on performance. The chain itself is structured around intelligence incentives.

Team1 Spaces This Thursday 🔺 We are putting on a last minute space to chat with @FortBlockGames & @kokomo_games. Hosted by @De3ngineer & @DrGryzzly. Set a reminder and join below 👇

They’re competing for gold. You’re competing for $1M in prizes in the Build Games (cooler). Builders, apply below:

AI Agents for business are choosing Avalanche. Massive Enterprises like PayPal need a specialized chain that can handle billions of micro transactions per day. Who can handle that? Avalanche.

This world rewards risk takers

Another institution on Avalanche. Fosun Wealth Holdings is launching FUSD on Avalanche. An Asian yield-bearing, RWA-backed stablecoin, with Avalanche as its core network for liquidity and DeFi.
