Pharaoh was born on Avalanche🔺, shaped by the network’s speed, security, and commitment to builders. 🔺 Through the continued support of the Ava Labs team and Avalanche Foundation, Pharaoh has emerged as one of the top 3 DEXs in the ecosystem, driving liquidity, governance, and on-chain alignment. Since v2, over $15M has been distributed back to holders through fees and incentives, cementing Pharaoh’s position as a yield-driven cornerstone of Avalanche DeFi. Now, the v3 migration portal at is live: assets, governance, and liquidity now flow through upgraded contracts and xPHAR. Because locks belong on tombs, not votes.

Why is Bitwise's research team, both on-chain and institutional, bullish on Avalanche? It comes down to structure. 🎙️ Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research: "Avalanche has a very unique structure as opposed to other L1s, and we think that has positioned Avalanche very well for being one of the leading platforms for moving into the next stage of crypto adoption." 🎙️ Kam Benbrik, Research for Onchain Solutions: "They're more focused on the institutional side of the business, and we're seeing very interesting traction in the Avalanche ecosystem." The example? Progmat, one of Japan's largest tokenization platforms, backed by major Japanese banks, chose to build their own Avalanche L1. Why? → Near-instant finality (transactions settle in under 2 seconds) → Permissioned validator sets (institutions know exactly who's securing the network) → EVM compatibility → Native cross-chain messaging into the broader Avalanche ecosystem Avalanche isn't competing on TPS marketing. It's quietly becoming the infrastructure institutions actually want. 🎥 Full clip from the stream below.

DeFi proved the technology works. Now the bigger question: can it rebuild how credit, liquidity, and risk move through markets? At Summit, Stani, founder of Aave, will unpack DeFi’s next leap forward. Tickets: Stani founded ETHLend in 2017 before launching Aave in 2020, now one of the largest and most trusted lending protocols in DeFi. Aave has continued to expand from lending markets into broader credit infrastructure, including Aave V4, GHO, Horizon, and new ways for consumers and institutions to access onchain liquidity. Come to Summit to hear from one of DeFi’s original builders on how onchain finance can create liquidity where it has not existed before, from tokenized assets to private markets and beyond. Sept 16–17 | Chelsea Industrial, NYC

Big news for Avalanche 🔺 Anthony Scaramucci , founder of SkyBridge, just became lead advisor of AVAX One, the first NASDAQ-listed company built around Avalanche🔺 . Backed by Hivemind and the Avalanche Foundation, the plan is to raise $550M for a digital asset treasury dedicated to AVAX. So what does this mean? • Institutional gateway: For the first time, Wall Street investors will have a regulated, publicly traded vehicle to get direct exposure to Avalanche. • Massive bet on tokenization: Scaramucci compared Avalanche to a “Swiss Army knife” of blockchains thanks to its subnets, giving enterprises flexibility to customize and scale. • Adoption momentum: BlackRock, Visa, and JPMorgan are already experimenting with Avalanche to tokenize funds, payments, and even potentially stocks. • Focused growth: AVAX One’s first move is disciplined accumulation of AVAX with staking yield + long-term upside. From there, the company will invest into fintechs and onboard them onto Avalanche, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of adoption. • Scaramucci made it clear: while we live in a multi-chain world, Avalanche is uniquely positioned to lead in tokenization because of its enterprise tools and real-world integrations. AVAX One bridges traditional capital markets with on-chain finance, giving institutional players a trusted way to go all-in on Avalanche. The institutional era of Avalanche has officially arrived. 🔺

New Podcast with Aave founder Stani.eth just dropped: Aave is at a turning point - will the new proposal lead to innovation or chaos? Aave is navigating a pivotal moment with the recent "Aave will win" proposal. This initiative aims to redirect 100% of protocol revenue back to the Aave DAO, a move that many in the community have embraced. But with any major change comes scrutiny. Critics are questioning the governance structure, suggesting that Aave Labs may have too much influence. Stani Kulechov addresses these concerns, clarifying that no votes from Aave Labs swayed the outcome. Stani also discussed the 'Hub and Spoke' architecture of Aave V4, explaining how it will solve liquidity bootstrapping for developers and pave the way for Real World Assets (RWAs) like solar farms and GPUs. It’s clear that Aave is focused on growth and innovation. But will it be enough to keep Aave competitive in the evolving DeFi landscape? 👉 Watch the full interview below

When leaders like Apollo and BlackRock talk about tokenization, it signals a clear shift: finance is moving onchain. Avalanche has been ahead of that shift, already tokenizing complex structures like CLOs and proving that blockchain infrastructure can serve institutional-grade use cases today. At AVAX One, we see Avalanche as a natural foundation for onchain markets and adoption is only accelerating from here.

Had an amazing time at the Team1 Thailand Kickoff in Bangkok yesterday! 🇹🇭 The event brought together builders, founders, creators, developers, and Web3 enthusiasts from across the ecosystem. From insightful builder pitches to meaningful conversations about the future of Avalanche in Thailand, the energy in the room was incredible. What stood out most was seeing a passionate community actively building, collaborating, and pushing innovation forward. Events like this remind me that strong ecosystems are built by people, not just technology. Huge thanks to Avalanche Team1 Shamwise 🔺 Sirada for hosting such a well-organized event and creating opportunities for the community to connect and grow. Looking forward to seeing what’s next for Team1 and the Avalanche ecosystem! #AVAX #BinanceTH #Avalanche #AvalancheCommunity #Web3Community #CommunityBuilding

Private where it counts. Connected where it matters. Institutions need compliance, privacy, and permissioned participation without losing access to liquidity and the broader onchain ecosystem. Most infrastructure forces a tradeoff. Avalanche doesn't. As John Wu 🔺 explains to PaulBarron, Avalanche L1s let institutions launch purpose-built networks with controls at the network, transaction, and smart contract level, while still connecting when and where it makes sense. Built for Business. 🔺

🎙️New pod just dropped! I sit down with my old friend Stani, Founder of Aave Labs, to deep dive into Aave v4 and its biggest updates compared to v3. This is Ep. 1 of a new series where I analyze the evolving architecture of onchain lending markets and their impact on DeFi. Just as onchain spot trading evolved from p2p models like EtherDelta to pooled AMMs like Uniswap v2—and now to modular designs like Uniswap v4, built as lower-level protocols for sophisticated actors to run custom strategies without fragmenting liquidity—lending is following a similar path. ETHLend struggled to scale its p2p fixed-rate lending approach and lacked sophisticated actors building on top of the protocol to abstract this complexity. Aave v1 introduced pooled liquidity, making it easier for retail users to borrow and lend using the same strategy dictated by the Aave DAO. Now, Aave v4 marks a new phase: a modular hub-and-spoke design for deploying bespoke credit markets. 🧩 Hubs = Capital allocators that determine rates & provide credit lines 🛠️ Spokes = isolated, configurable lending strategies that draw capital from a Hub Use cases range from RWAs to fixed-rate credit to looped LP vaults (e.g., strategies pioneered by Arrakis on Uniswap v3 + MakerDAO). Critically, Aave evolves from a vertically integrated DAO—the sole allocator of protocol capital—into a permissionless platform where institutions (e.g., BlackRock) and DAOs can co-allocate capital alongside Aave itself. This is the beginning of a modular credit layer for all of DeFi. 🎧 Listen here: 📺 Watch here: 📖 Aave v4 proposal:

Aave v4 has just officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet. Setting aside the marketing hype, take one minute for an objective breakdown of what v4 actually changes.👇 1. Farewell to the fragmented "hub & spoke" architecture In previous DeFi lending, liquidity pools were isolated, resulting in extremely low capital efficiency. V4 consolidates all core assets into a single main hub, which then channels liquidity to targeted markets including Core, Prime and Plus. Liquidity is no longer fragmented but centrally coordinated. 2. Introduction of traditional finance-style risk premiums V4 implements genuine institutional-grade risk frameworks: using blue-chip collateral such as wETH and USDC grants lower borrowing costs, while holding volatile assets requires you to pay a clear risk premium. Collateral quality directly determines your cost of capital. 3. Institutional-grade terminal: Aave Pro The era of retail users jumping between pools to manage positions is over. Aave Pro delivers a unified macro dashboard, displaying cross-market health factors, interest rates and risk exposure at a glance. It is a dedicated command center built for large-scale capital. Aave already commands over 50% of DeFi lending volume. So v4’s real target is not Compound or other on-chain competitors. It is rebuilding core infrastructure to absorb the massive liquidity soon to spill over from traditional finance.
