I speak to the research team regularly, and the changes coming aren't just short-term fixes.
They're measuring properly, and working through what real value capture mechanisms could look like to drive a stronger Avalanche.
These guys are cooking 🔺
Measure → Capture → Distribute 🔺
The Avalanche Foundation joined @TheBlockCo's Layer One Podcast to discuss the framework and mechanisms guiding our research agenda.
Hear from @frostLedger and @eric_lu_sc for deeper insights into the thinking behind it ⤵️

Now that Helicon is live, validators can vote to raise or lower the minimum gas fee dynamically.
Eric has been researching the impact of higher gas prices, with benchmarks and value capture across blockchains, with his findings coming out soon.
This is an important capture mechanism we are looking at improving to align with the Foundation's goal of value capture.
Pricing blockspace correctly means more value flowing through the network rather than past it.
If you look closely, the experimenting has already begun 🔺

We now have the technology to build what these people are promising.
What other people are striving to achieve, we know how to create today.
Avalanche Summit NYC was our most impactful Summit yet.
Thank you to everyone who spoke, built, attended, reported, and made it so incredible!

Avalanche Summit New York left us inspired.
There is a great deal happening across Avalanche at present, and it underscores precisely why the research agenda exists: to measure, capture, and distribute value in step with that.
Ready for what's next 🔺

Blockfather @el33th4xor
Avalanche's co-founder helped build a proof-of-work currency six years before Bitcoin...
Emin Gün Sirer (@el33th4xor) co-designed Karma at Cornell in 2003 with two of his students. His bios call it the first currency to mint coins through proof-of-work, though Wei Dai's 1998 b-money proposal sketched the idea earlier.
Karma aimed to stop freeloading on file-sharing networks by tracking what each user gave and took, long before Bitcoin introduced proof-of-work money.
In 2013, he and Ittay Eyal found a flaw in Bitcoin's mining rules. A group of miners could secretly hold back the blocks they found, then release them at the right moment to wipe out rivals' work. Even a minority of miners could earn more than they should. The attack is now known as "selfish mining".
He later co-founded @AvaLabs, the company behind Avalanche (@avax), and still runs it as CEO.

Great to see Helicon live!
Looking forward to seeing the impact of these six ACPs on mainnet. The real story is what the data shows over the coming weeks.
That's what we'll be watching 🔺
Helicon is now live on mainnet 🔺
This upgrade brings improvements to the Avalanche C-Chain and validator infrastructure.
The Avalanche Foundation looks forward to seeing the impact of these updates, and investigating them as part of our Economics Research Agenda.

Time for the recap🔺
This was my 3rd @avax Summit. I went to Buenos Aires, London, and now New York.
Of course, the market has changed a lot. It has matured, and that’s exactly why this Summit felt different, but in the best way. You could clearly see the adoption from institutions and key players, and honestly, the dress code itself says it all.
But most importantly, the community showed up.
We wait all year for this moment, and it couldn’t have been better. I got to meet old friends, make new ones, and finally meet in person the people I spend the whole year working with.
@AvaxTeam1 did such a great job with the side events, especially the Rooftop Afterparty. I had the chance to DJ, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity.
@cryptochimba @ToNio87fr @eugene_avax @EmsBiz10 @VanHoVibes @piweb_ @Crypto_Papii @vanyapestana @avery_bartlett @c_mami @joeycannoli9 @memosthetic @napper_ @swandogs @luke152 @ijaack94 @el33th4xor @Milca0_ @agentboff @BKL1023
There are so many more people I’d love to tag that this post wouldn’t be long enough.
It was a pleasure sharing this week with all of you, and I’m already excited to see you next year. 🔺

Curious what's driving Avalanche right now?
Tune in tomorrow at 12:30pm ET to hear @JohnNahas84 @RasterlyRock, and @CamKhosravi break it down.

Avalanche’s Helicon upgrade is now live on Mainnet and marks another meaningful step in making blockchain infrastructure better suited for financial markets and institutional use.
What matters if you’re not a protocol engineer…
More performance. Helicon introduces Continuous Execution, which allows for consensus and transaction execution to happen in parallel rather than sequentially. In practical terms this means greater throughput and a more efficient architecture as transaction volumes scale.
More institutional-friendly staking. The minimum staking period drops from two weeks to just 48 hours, bringing capital commitments much closer to the liquidity and redemption timelines various institutional allocators operate around. Validators can also automatically renew and compound their stake, reducing operational overhead while maintaining continuous participation.
Higher standards for resiliency. Validators will now need to maintain 90% uptime, up from 80%, to earn rewards, creating stronger incentives for a consistently available validator set and supporting faster, more reliable network performance.
More sustainable economics. Helicon recalibrates staking rewards to better reward longer-term commitments while reducing expected AVAX issuance over time. It also introduces a dynamic minimum gas price that can adjust to network conditions rather than relying on a fixed floor.
Overall, financial-market infrastructure needs to be fast, resilient, capital-efficient and economically sustainable, without sacrificing flexibility.
Helicon pushes Avalanche further in that direction. 🔺
Helicon is live.
- Continuous Execution for a faster C-Chain
- Auto-renewing staking
- 48-hour minimum staking periods
- Stronger validator requirements
- A new reward curve designed to reduce AVAX issuance
Helicon brings more performance, better capital efficiency, and stronger economics to Avalanche.
Helicon is one of our biggest upgrades yet, and lays the groundwork for larger upgrades to come.

on-board trillions szn
It's @avax update day, one of the only l1s making consistent upgrades to pivot and future proof the chain to on-board trillions.
