Blockchains aren’t dead. Useless ones are.
@JohnNahas84 is seeing capital moving towards the builders creating new rails, new use cases, and real revenue-generating businesses.
That is where Avalanche is focused.
@FIFACollect, @Broadridge, @Lynq_Network, @AxiymFinance, and other serious teams are using Avalanche for things people can actually use: ticketing, payments, settlement, governance, compliance, and dedicated infrastructure.
Real applications, real businesses.

Big changes introduced to Retro9000 🔺
User verification makes community participation essential. Verify and directly impact project scores.

Win together 👇
Global payments are overdue for an upgrade.
@AxiymFinance is building that upgrade on Avalanche. And Axiym Co-Founder & CBO Farhad Rassul will be at Avalanche Summit NYC to explain how.
Tickets here: https://t.co/Q6Vj9cKMZl
Axiym is building next-generation financial infrastructure for real-time funding, post-pay settlement, and stablecoin-powered payments within regulated financial ecosystems.
For businesses, that means a path beyond slow settlement, trapped capital, and legacy cross-border payment rails.
At Summit, hear from the operators and institutions building the systems that can actually move money faster, more transparently, and with the compliance controls modern finance requires.
If payments are where you think blockchain becomes useful, you need to be at Avalanche Summit.

Still thinking about applying to Team1? This is your reminder not to miss out.
We're looking for passionate collaborators across community building, content creation, events, and ecosystem growth to help expand Avalanche globally.
If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to make an impact, this could be it.
Team1 applications are officially open globally.
We in @AvaxTeam1 Nigeria are welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds across the ecosystem, including:
- Developers
- Founders
- Event organizers
- Content creators
- Designers
You do not need full-time Web3 experience to apply.
What matters most:
✅ Initiative
✅ Integrity
✅ Willingness to contribute and support others in the ecosystem
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 @John1wu 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.
