Avalanche Upgrades Mainnet with Avalanche9000, Reducing Deployment Costs and Fees

The Avalanche Foundation has announced the launch of its ‘biggest network upgrade’ to date, introducing the Avalanche9000 mainnet. This significant upgrade, dubbed Etna, aims to resolve issues faced by developers on the Avalanche network, including high staking requirements and validator costs.

Key Features of the Etna Upgrade

The Etna upgrade enables layer1 blockchains to operate independently from the primary Avalanche network. This means that validators are no longer required to validate the primary network, allowing each chain to have its own validator set. This change simplifies the validation process for emerging layer1 projects and significantly reduces operational and upfront fees.

According to the Avalanche Foundation, the Etna upgrade has achieved a 99.9% reduction in layer1 deployment costs and a 96% drop in C-Chain fees. This upgrade also streamlines the process of building layer1 blockchains on the network, bringing them to market faster.

Benefits for Developers

Developers can now customize their layer1 blockchains with greater control over staking, economics, gas, tokens, and more. Additionally, the upgrade introduces Avalanche’s built-in Interchain Messaging, facilitating communication between the Avalanche C-chain and Avalanche layer1s.

This feature enables developers to send and receive cross-chain EVM messages, including tokens, NFTs, and oracle price feed data, using the Interchain Messaging protocol.

Impact on the Avalanche Ecosystem

The launch of Avalanche9000 is expected to have a significant impact on the Avalanche ecosystem, making it more attractive to developers and users. With reduced deployment costs and fees, the upgrade is likely to drive growth and adoption within the ecosystem.
