🚨Excited to share a new chapter: I’ve joined @AvaLabs as Senior Vice President of Growth to focus on shaping & amplifying @avax’s story.
Avalanche is at a pivotal moment:
-@Scaramucci fund is moving hundreds of millions on-chain
-@DinariGlobal is launching tokenized U.S. equities
-The California DMV @CA_DMV has digitized 42 million car titles on-chain to detect fraud and streamline transfers
-@FIFAWorldCup is launching its own Avalanche based blockchain for fan ticketing/engagement
My focus will be connecting the dots across Avalanche’s institutional and consumer ecosystem — ensuring founders, builders, institutions, and users all share in a cohesive story of growth and adoption.
Forever grateful for my time at @solana, where I had the privilege of helping shape an ecosystem during a period of rapid expansion and working with some of the most talented founders, partners, and team in crypto. 💜
Onward. 🔺
Summit is going to be top tier.
From the build out and design to the speaker lineup, attendees, media, and swag, every detail has been intentionally thought through.
You’ll be surrounded by some of the smartest founders, builders, institutions, policymakers, and operators in the world.
But what excites me most is that this isn’t another conference where everyone is talking about crypto to other crypto people.
This is where you’ll see how blockchain is actually being adopted by businesses, governments, and institutions around the world. The conversations are real. The use cases are real. The people building the future are all in one place.
If you want to understand where this industry is actually headed, you don’t want to miss Summit.

THE BLOCK: The Kenya National Examinations Council moves 15 million academic records onto Avalanche as it rolls out blockchain-based certificate verification.
The system includes records from 1989 and will expand to roughly 35 million credentials.
Blockchain is simply a better ledger.
Yet finance still relies on outdated infrastructure and layers of middlemen.
At Summit, Carlos Domingo, CEO of @Securitize, will show how moving finance onchain is changing markets for the better.
Tickets: https://t.co/Q6Vj9cKMZl
@carlosdomingo co-founded Securitize to modernize how securities are issued, managed, and traded through compliant tokenization infrastructure.
The company has worked with BlackRock, Apollo, KKR, and Hamilton Lane to bring traditional assets onchain and improve how money and ownership move through the financial system.
Come to Summit to hear from someone who helped build the foundation for tokenized finance, and learn how atomic settlement, fewer intermediaries, and more efficient infrastructure can free capital and improve the way financial assets transact.

BREAKING: Kenya Government brings 30M+ academic credentials on chain with Avalanche
Through @KNECKenya, academic records are now verifiable and forgery-resistant, with Avalanche powering the national verification layer.
When we designed Avalanche, the goal was straightforward: build the financial infrastructure the world actually needs. A platform that institutions/enterprises could actually use, with the finality, compliance, and customization they require.
That work is showing up in who shows up.
BlackRock, Apollo, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Coinbase, Dragonfly, a16z and more.

The Avalanche consensus protocol was designed with formal rigor. The economic layer deserves the same treatment.
GCP (Gross Chain Product) gives the Foundation a rigorous, auditable framework for measuring what the ecosystem actually produces. Get the measurement right, and the mechanisms that follow can be designed correctly.
This is how you build systems that last. 🔺
