Introducing BalancerValidatorManager 🕊️
A new architecture enabling Avalanche L1s to progressively decentralize, on their own terms 🔺
Modular, audited, and already in action with Suzaku.

They told me crypto was dead...
Then I saw FIFA launching an L1 on Avalanche.
Then I saw VanEck dropping a fund just for real-world apps on Avalanche.
Then I saw institutions sprinting in.
Maybe it's not crypto that's dead,
Maybe it's just your chain.
Avax ain't playing. It's 🔺dopting. Fast.
Enterprises, institutions, banks, companies, and start ups will all eventually want or need their own chain.
FIFA leading the way with a global platform and their own chain, starting with @FIFACollect. Exciting times ahead 🔺⚽️
