The Avalanche blockchain network has recently unveiled its groundbreaking upgrade, known as Avalanche9000, marking a significant advancement since the mainnet’s inception.
This state-of-the-art upgrade aims to drive innovation and enhance system efficiency by unlocking over $40 million in retroactive rewards for developers while slashing deployment costs by an astonishing
99.9%.
With the upgrade successfully launched on the Fuji testnet, it promises improved interchain communication and paves the way for a seamless transition to the mainnet in the pipeline.
The proposal stems from community-driven initiatives and lessons learned from the earlier Etna Upgrade and incorporates various enhancements highlighted in community proposals ACP-77 and ACP-125.
A key aspect of the upgrade is the rebranding of Avalanche’s subnets to layer 1 solutions, maintaining operational efficiency while prioritizing horizontal scaling.
As such, these developments spotlight Avalanche’s commitment to creating a robust ecosystem facilitating permissionless and permissioned networks.
This strategic move significantly redefines how validators interact with the network, shifting the management of validator sets to individual layer 1s through the innovative ValidatorManager smart contract.
In this article, we’ll delve deeper into the implications of the Avalanche9000 upgrade, exploring the expected benefits for developers and the broader ecosystem, including the flexibility introduced for validators and the influx of new projects aiming to take advantage of this transformative upgrade.
