The Avalanche architecture upgrade ignites a new wave of project selection, with significant cost advantages.

Avalanche technology architecture has become the preferred platform for emerging projects.

Recently, several well-known projects have chosen to launch dedicated chains based on the Avalanche technology architecture, drawing industry attention. Behind this trend is the significant upgrade of the Avalanche network in December last year—Avalanche9000, which is hailed as the largest upgrade in the history of the network.

This upgrade has comprehensively restructured the validator economic model. According to the ACP-77 proposal, the high fixed staking requirements for Avalanche validation nodes have been significantly reduced, adopting a more flexible pay-as-you-go model. According to an analysis by a certain research institution's analyst, this adjustment in cost structure greatly enhances the attractiveness of launching sovereign L1 chains on Avalanche, and its cost-effectiveness may even surpass solutions from other well-known blockchain platforms.

For teams building the first layer chain of Avalanche, leveraging the existing infrastructure of the C Chain (Avalanche's liquidity hub) can further reduce costs. For example, through the C Chain, new L1 networks can provide users with convenient centralized exchange deposit channels without incurring high direct integration fees. An executive from a technology company stated that this approach could save development teams a significant amount of time and millions of dollars in integration costs.

For standard on-chain infrastructure, such as oracles, RPC services, indexers, block explorers, and NFT marketplaces, if built from scratch by an independent L1, the startup cost can reach up to $13 million. However, Avalanche's inter-chain communication protocol allows these ready-made infrastructures to be easily utilized by new chains.

The value capture mechanism is another important factor for projects to choose the Avalanche L1 network. The Avalanche L1 blockchain can establish clear value accumulation channels for project tokens through its own set of validators, block rewards, or by using native tokens as Gas fees. In contrast, the options available on the Ethereum Layer 2 network in this regard are relatively limited.

In addition, Avalanche's HyperSDK offers a high degree of L1 chain customization capability, showing significant advantages compared to the current L2 solutions based on rollup technology.

The value accumulation method of AVAX tokens is also worth noting. Unlike some blockchains, Avalanche's C-Chain burns all transaction fees. In 2025, the average monthly value of AVAX tokens burned is approximately $453,000. At the same time, validating nodes continue to stake AVAX to maintain the operation of the main network, with the current staked amount being around $8 billion.

Each Avalanche L1 validator node is required to pay a small amount of AVAX as a fee each month, the specific amount varies based on the number of nodes. In addition, transaction operations involving the C-chain will indirectly incur a small amount of ICM (Inter-Chain Messaging) fees, which will also be burned.

Avalanche's development strategy seems to promote long-term growth by lowering initial costs. This is similar to the approach taken by Ethereum and other blockchain platforms, all aiming for greater development space in the future.

A certain executive pointed out that the claim about Avalanche not pursuing a high-speed chain is a misunderstanding. In fact, through a series of upgrades, the fees on the C chain have overall decreased by 96% from early 2025 to now. In the future, with the implementation of more technical improvements, it is expected that fees will continue to decrease.

Although Avalanche's value capture is currently small in scale, its development path is already clear. With 66 active L1 chains operating in the ecosystem and more chains connecting, Avalanche is expected to establish a strong network effect.

This cost restructuring technique... is old hat, and there must be big funds lying in ambush later.
