Anon, you think Avalanche is not a gaming platform? . Here are games I am bullish on in Avalanche and one sentence why (nfa):.

EVERY web3 game 100% should consider a subnet in their roadmap. Subnets bring your UX + Economics to a whole new level. Here’s why gaming + subnets are the perfect marriage:.

Why are Enterprises like GREE, KKR, Deloitte, and many more choosing Avalanche? It comes down to three pieces: Finality, Subnets, and Ecosystem Support.

10 months & hundreds of gaming projects reviewed later – let’s just say the Ava Labs gaming team has learned a lot about what it means to build a high-quality web3 game. One thing to highlight is that no one has the holy grail playbook on how to build the perfect web3 game. 👇👇.

I have a personal announcement to make. I have recently decided to take a step back from Ava Labs after nearly 5 years of helping grow the Avalanche ecosystem. It has been a wild ride and incredible with the amount I have learned and the number of awesome people that I had the.

I have seen many gaming projects fall into the trap of doing too much at once, instead of aiming for simplicity. I thought I would share some high level thoughts to consider when building a web3 game:.

It's funny I was thinking there would be at least 10 fully commercialized Avalanche subnets deployed by end of the year - I may have way underestimated. There are 60+ in the pipeline. The future is multi-chain and I am deeply excited about the innovation to come.

Gaming season is about to start, which means we are about to have an influx of web2 users entering crypto. The number of conversations we are seeing with big web2 game publishers + infrastructure providers to streamline UX onboarding is truly exciting.

This dude can't help himself. Added more liquidity (~$575k collateral). Let's liquidate Melvin Capital. Let's show this loser what Avalanche9000 is.

We have always emphasized that games choose Avalanche because of subnets + reliable infrastructure with sub-second finality. A third point we have not talked about too much on why gaming giants like @GetLocoNow @GREEgames chose Avalanche 👇.

This is not the time to get bearish:.1) Avalanche 9000.2) Shorts getting liquidated.3) Institutions buying into AVAX and building on AVAX.4) 130+ Avalanche L1s live.5) We trust you @luigidemeo.

Remember 2021 AVAX when people were rushing in like crazy and it became tough to be early in all projects. There are tons of amazing projects on AVAX that when it happens, you won't be early. - $COQ.- $STICK.- $NOCHILL.- $ARENA.- $TECH.- $STEAK.- $PHAR.- $ALOT.- $GGP.- $DOMI.

Why crypto is about to change with this unique Avalanche x Amazon product offering relationship 👇.
It’s official! @Amazon #ChoseAvalanche to bring scalable blockchain solutions to enterprises and governments 🔺. #AWS fully supports Avalanche’s infrastructure and dApp ecosystem, including one-click node deployment, offering the best tooling for these high compliance use cases.

Cool so I just have to post people shorting avax to get tons of likes on X. Seems like people really hate avax shorters.

Tell me one good thing that happened to you because of Avalanche Summit last year. I heard many stories from locking in capital raises, hiring new team members, making new friends, to ideating new products that are now built on Avalanche.

I'm convinced he will just keep adding liquidity until he runs out - now it's $1m+. He only has $50k more in his wallet. Let's see if he has more gun powder. $50 is the target.
Another one - dude added $100k+ more liquidity. Liquidate this non avalanche9000 believer. $50 end of week.

Had a great time sharing more about avalanche and gaming at our meetup. I couldn’t feel more bullish on web3 gaming than I did when I was in Korea. Spoke to many game publishers and its clear that korea + japan are moving the fastest in web3 gaming.

Notice what happened when BTC and red coin pulled back today. $COQ stayed up. $COQ to a billy is literally the easiest call. Minimum x5 from here.

So you're telling me last time AVAX was at $135, BTC was at $60k? This was also without ACP-77, 135, Blackrock, JPMorgan, Nexon's Maplestory, Off the grid, and so much more. .

Another one - dude added $100k+ more liquidity. Liquidate this non avalanche9000 believer. $50 end of week.
This is the week he gets liquidated. Enjoy the fireworks this week. Also for those thinking its a delta neutral position. It looks like he is shorting the whole market from many weeks ago but is constantly adding collateral. Check for yourself here:

People are saying “ohhh but there’s 100m more AVAX tokens in circulation since 2021 $140 avax”. Biggest loser mentality. Literally we didn’t have even 1% of the progress we have now. Again,.Blackrock, t.rowe, citi bank, jpm, huge acp upgrades 77 and 135, off the grid, maplestory,.

Crytpo is a feature, it's not the business model. I'm proud of the work we do at Ava Labs because we focus on driving real world value use-cases that focus on real customers with revenue driven products. Here are notable teams building on @avax focused on revenue generation.

Imagine not buying AVAX with literally the BIGGEST network upgrade is coming now. Not only has this network been around for 4+ years, but it now has 130+ live mainnet L1s built on Avalanche. The ACP-77 upgrade changes the performance and economics of the whole network by.

Avalanche is the gaming chain 🔺.> 70+ Games .> Gaming giants like GREE building.> Sub-second finality --> devs don't need to build custom infra for reorgs + contention in transactions.> Gaming advisory team that has seen 1000+ games to help on tokenomics + deployment strategy.

Fun fact - did you know it costs 300-350 sol a day + $6k a year in hardware costs = $75k - $85k a year to simply operate a solana validator. When it costs $80k to invest in AVAX and earn ~7% APY of a deflationary capped asset with annual hardware cost of ~$3k.

Yes, I have a new profile pic – it’s happening. @RumbleKongs is coming to Avalanche. This is a project I have been excited about for a very long time. It’s a fun basketball game with the likes of NBA Jam with 3v3 games. I am bullish on RKL as the team is innovative on 3 fronts.
Rumble Kong League is excited to announce that we've chosen Avalanche, to support the RKL ecosystem as our blockchain scaling solution. We're super pumped to finally reveal @GamingOnAvax, and couldn't be more excited for what's to come in the future! 🔥 . Of course, this

Melvin thinks he can keep $AVAX down. Has no idea that $50 is programmed. He just added more collateral ($575k --> $675k) - Easy Wins

I genuinely see $COQ hitting $1B when Avax goes to $100+. When that happens you will have wealth effects in the ecosystem that will spill over to other projects in defi, gaming and other memes.

So at $135 avax we had no ACP upgrades, no JPM, no Blackrock, no Off the grid, and also no 4.5M AVAX burned or $150m off the market.

I repeat the bear added even more collateral. He wants to lose it all. GG. Last thing I would be doing right before all the ACPs is shorting avax. Rookie move. Didn't research.
Bear added more collateral - he wants to get liquidated even more. Still doesn't know the power of ACP-77 + ACP-125. GG. You know what to do.

When avax sends, it fucking sends. Most shorted coin out there. So when liquidity funnels it, shorts get squeezed and we see candles like we never seen before. Shorts had their fun the past 3 years - now gtfo.
We just closed 1.23B in short positions on $Avax this morning🔥finally starting to see volume pickup #Avalanche

That feeling when you realize that Avalanche's scaling solution is already here and can be used – Sub-sec finality consensus, subnets (app-chains), and cross-subnet communication (warp messaging)

Best part of this announcement - 1.33 avax per month. Permissionless L1s coming to avalanche. Huge step forward for the industry. Beam is a fantastic example of how to properly go from a private L1 to a permissionless L1. Congrats to the team.
After the Horizon upgrade (targeted by the end of January 2025), you’ll need at least the following to run a validator node:. 1. 20,000 $BEAM. 2. 1 Node Token. 3. Hardware requirements (More on Medium). 4. Fee paid to the Avalanche P-Chain (approx. 1.33 $AVAX a month).

Enjoyed moderating this panel - we talked about:.- One token or 2 token model or no tokens?.- Web3 on-chain products that make sense for game economies.- What are new revenue generation opportunities for big game publishers with web3.- What does a proper token structure look like.
Designing sustainable reward systems in Web3 gaming is critical to long-term success. @j0eferrara, @MetzlerGames, @BolonSoron_DFK, @lisajytan and Francis Brankin held a panel at Summit to discuss different models for token distribution and reward systems:

So you're telling me over $100m of AVAX memecoins are staked (locked up) in TraderJoe's Memecoin rush where the total marketcap of AVAX memecoins is around $450M. So more than 20% of avax memecoins are visibly diamond handed at the start of the 4 week long program.

In order for Avalanche L1s to have a crazy adoption period to have the so called Avalanche L1s Season, we need a degen bootstrapping mechanism like a version from @GoGoPool_ . Imagine having a bonding curve for staking validators where super high APY is.

@eth_frank @sandeepnailwal @avalancheavax @0xPolygon Avalanche consensus is not copy-paste. Avalanche unleashes multiple VMs to be deployed with different networks. The only reason you're saying "copy paste" is because the c-chain uses the EVM – the primary network is just the start. There can be rust VMs, WASM VMs, and more.

You know whats cool - back in 2020 when Avalanche launched, not many people were bullish on the idea of all of these alt chains deploying. Now we are in a world of hundreds of chains. This is the acceptance phase. Next we are heading towards the standardization stage. It’s.

Two groups have always existed within game economies - speculators + gamers (i.e. CS GO, Fifa, World of Warcraft, etc…). Crypto expands the speculator group in games as blockchain unlocks a settlement engine and financial products built around a game economy that is transparent.

Finality Finality Finality. Game developers need a reliable network that 100% finalizes a transaction so they don’t need to create scripts to check if a transaction went through. Imagine buying or winning an item in a game and it turns out there was contention or a reorg.
