As a seasoned analyst with years of experience in the crypto sphere, I must say that the Avalanche network’s upcoming upgrade is quite intriguing. Having witnessed numerous blockchain projects come and go, I can confidently say that a $40 million community reward is no small feat.
The Avalanche network is currently undergoing its biggest update since its mainnet debut, and a staggering $40 million worth of rewards are being prepared for release to its user base.
As per a declaration made on November 25th, Avalanche9000 has been activated on the Fuji test network, with its main network launch anticipated within the near future. This update is expected to significantly lower deployment costs by approximately 99.9%, enable interchain communication, and make available over $40 million in incentives for developers in a retroactive manner.
The upgrade is based on technical improvements from the Etna Upgrade and community proposals ACP-77 and ACP-125. Among the key changes is the rebranding of Avalanche’s subnets, now called layer-1s.
As a researcher delving into Avalanche’s system, I can confirm that the recent overhaul doesn’t alter how its subnetworks function. Instead, it maintains the ability for horizontal scaling, which means we don’t see an increase in dependency on custom blockchains due to compounding factors.
Avalanche’s Layer-1 networks can function either as decentralized networks without requiring explicit permission (permissionless) or as networks where permissions are required for validator participation and rewards distribution (permissioned). Each type offers varying degrees of control over validator involvement and incentives.
In the recent Etna upgrade, the way validator groups are handled within the Avalanche network has been revised. Now, instead of a centralized Avalanche P-Chain managing validators, each L1 network takes on this responsibility through a ValidatorManager smart contract. This modification is expected to provide more autonomy and decentralization to the L1 networks, empowering them to establish their own rules and rewards.
Validators aiming to remove the necessity of staking should shift their oversight from a P-Chain Owner Key to a ValidatorManager contract, which is a type of intelligent program.
Approximately 500 different applications built in native languages are currently under development on both the testing platform and the live network, as stated by Avalanche. These applications span various fields such as gaming, financial services for payments, and academic research targeted at institutions.
In the course of an update, Avalanche aims to enhance interoperability and reduce hurdles for developers. As per DefiLlama’s figures, Avalanche’s locked value currently totals at $1.4 billion – approaching 10% of its peak reached in November 2021, when it was a staggering $11.1 billion.
