Avalanche: the fast-growing ecosystem
What is Avalanche?
Avalanche is the fastest smart contracts platform in the blockchain industry, as measured by time-to-finality. Avalanche is blazingly fast, low cost, eco-friendly and differentiates itself by allowing the creation of individual subnets.
The growth of Avalanche:
Avalanche is true to its name. With over 700 projects launched in the last 22 months, the fastest smart contracts platform in the blockchain industry is set out to be the home of all sorts of Decentralized Apps. Despite being a relatively new platform, the total value locked (TVL) across its DeFi protocols has reached over $12 billion before the global macroeconomic decline.
Bull or bear market, it is business as usual for the Avalanche ecosystem and community. The building process continues forward. We’ve witnessed a successful rollout of technology that included subnets, Core, and the BTC cross-chain bridge integration. Significant technological advancements are always on the horizon as unique smart contracts and contract deployers continue to grow.
A strong commitment to make Web3 easy to access:
In addition to the astounding pace of innovation, the incentive programs in place continue to drive DeFi growth, expand the ecosystem into new sectors, develop subnets, and usher creative talent into the ecosystem. The $180M Avalanche Rush and the $290M Multiverse incentive programs, in addition to the $200M Blizzard Investment Fund, cement the Avalanche Foundation’s long-term commitment to scale DeFi and create a more accessible, decentralized, and cost-effective ecosystem.
Although it might not seem like it, the Avalanche network is a mere 22 months old. The ecosystem’s eye-popping growth over this period is the result of a shrewd and aggressive scaling strategy. Best part? Avalanche is just getting started and it’s never too late to be early. You can be part of its rapid growth and have exposure to the ecosystem’s most prominent projects without complexity nor hassle thanks to the Colony Avalanche Index, CAI.
“In very little time Avalanche has managed to attract developer teams, individuals and even institutions due to the power of its scalability, security, and innovative consensus mechanisms. We truly believe that the platform is built for the scale of global finance and will continue to witness exponential growth. Avalanche is all about making web3 easy to access, and we’re delighted to offer investors an easy exposure to the growth of this ecosystem through CAI.” — CEO of Colony Lab, Elie Le Rest
Introducing CAI, the Colony Avalanche Index
Brought to you by Colony and Phuture, and backed by Ava Labs, CAI is the benchmark index for investors wanting to get exposure to the Avalanche ecosystem. It is composed of the native token (AVAX) and the most prominent projects in the ecosystem. The index improves returns for investors by generating yield on the underlying assets. These assets are rigorously selected and weighted to spread the risk and volatility in proportion to their market capitalisation.
A straightforward hands-off passive investment strategy, CAI is destined to be the easiest way to invest in the Avalanche ecosystem through one single token. We believe it is time for investors bullish on Avalanche to enjoy a hands-off, high performing, on-chain product that saves them time and money.
“Avalanche has seen huge growth since inception. The infrastructure is reliable, and its ecosystem is thriving, the speed and cost of transactions make it an innovation hub. Phuture is delighted to offer access to the fast-growing Avalanche ecosystem through CAI.” — Co-founder and Head of Growth of Phuture, Charles Storry
