TVL tells you what's parked. Volume tells you what moved. Neither tells you what was actually produced. If you can't measure a chain's economy, you can't manage it.

GCP is our attempt to do for blockchains what GDP did for nations: a common yardstick for output, not just activity.

Eric lays out the framework here 👇

The largest IPO in history is almost here.

$SPCX goes live on Dinari as a dShare™, with real ownership and global access from day one.

LATEST: ⚡️ Avalanche saw a 24x volume surge and 10x active address growth over several days as World Cup fans rushed to buy "Right to Buy" digital tickets, according to Ava Labs SVP Arielle Pennington.

First and only full spectrum DEX

Proud to have them on Avalanche 🔺

[Pharaoh on AVAX @PharaohExchange]

DLMM pools are arriving on Pharaoh!

Pharaoh has now evolved into the most complete liquidity layer on Avalanche.🔺

With concentrated liquidity, DLMM, and legacy pools all in one place, Pharaoh is now the ONLY DEX IN DeFi built to support all 3 liquidity types.

Let’s talk about what makes this so monumental for Pharaoh and @Avax.👇🧵

Some say blockchains are useless. But look:

Right-to-Ticket redemptions for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ just went live on the @FIFACollect Avalanche L1.

Now real fan activity is hitting their chain at scale, with 761% more transactions last week.

A global sports brand is running onchain utility for the world’s biggest sporting event, on dedicated Avalanche infrastructure built for exactly this kind of demand.

Sounds pretty useful.🔺

This week on Avalanche!

Here is some, but not all, of what stood out from our grantees across DeFi, infrastructure, mobility, payments, gaming, and NFTs ⤵️

🔺 @kardpay reaffirmed two years of building on Avalanche with no plans to slow down, citing the ecosystem's builder support as a key reason for staying long-term.

🔺 @pangolindex put real usage numbers on the board: 69k transactions in 24 hours with active incentive programs across pools.
