BTC.b is getting an upgrade.

Ava Labs is partnering with @Lombard_Finance to transition BTC.b’s infrastructure and operations🧵: The objective: unlock cross-chain access, deepen institutional adoption, and deliver long-term scale while keeping BTC.b familiar for users.

What’s staying the same?
- Same token, contract, and name
- 1:1 BTC backing
- Minimal disruption for holders or protocols

This is a big deal.

The company that powers ~50% of Japan’s credit card payments, TIS, just deployed on Avalanche🧵: TIS just launched its Multi-Token Platform with @avacloud, a managed blockchain platform that automates scaling, governance, and security. This enables TIS to focus on the product while Avacloud handles the technical complexity.

This is 🔺doption.

a $20B+ industry is going onchain.

K-Pop entertainment company Titan just launched 2GATHR, an app for K-Pop fans worldwide to engage with their favorite artists.

Powered by Avalanche🔺 2GATHR is one of Korea’s first large-scale entertainment apps using blockchain for real fan engagement, home to their debut idol group AtHeart.

Fans can chat, stream, complete missions, and collect digital photo cards.

Try it here: 2gathr.app

K-pop is everywhere.

The most-watched movie on Netflix right now is K-pop themed (Kpop Demon Hunters), a clear sign the genre has become a global mainstream force.

Now that same culture is moving onchain. Titan Content is launching 2GATHR, a fan engagement app built on a custom Avalanche Layer 1 called TITAN.

It gives fans missions, exclusive content, and digital collectibles tied to AtHeart’s music and performances.

Avalanche is powering a new chapter in Korea’s digital economy. 🔺🇰🇷

BDACS, together with Woori Bank, has launched KRW1, a fully collateralized, won-backed stablecoin. Currently in a pilot phase following a full PoC, KRW1 marks an important step toward regulated, bank-integrated digital money in Korea. Every KRW1 is backed 1:1 with won held in escrow at Woori Bank.

With real-time API integration, reserves are verifiable instantly, setting a new benchmark for transparency and trust as Korea prepares its Digital Asset Basic Act.

Avalanche adds two giants to DeFi 🔺

sUSDe from @ethena_labs is live, a scalable reward-bearing stable asset.

Together with @pendle_fi it unlocks fixed and variable yield markets on Avalanche’s low fee, sub second rails. What is Ethena?
USDe = crypto-native synthetical dollar pegged ~$1.

Backed by a delta-neutral hedge:
- Long BTC/ETH spot collateral
-Offset by short perpetual futures = aiming to help balance price movements

sUSDe = staked USDe that aims to stream protocol revenue.

What lessons can we learn from someone who connects the right people at the right time across tech, commerce, culture, and crypto?

@meigga, Partner at @a16zcrypto and cofounder of @GoldHouseCo, shares ideas on engineered serendipity, mental models, and adoption 👇 @meigga @a16zcrypto @GoldHouseCo Her career has moved fluidly across industries, from hospitality to consumer commerce to Web3.

The constant thread: curating environments where unexpected and catalytic connections happen.

Partnering with the Cavs, Pistons, and LSU, Uptop is redefining fan loyalty.

The Quiet Disruptor: John Timoney Gomez grew up with two passions: sports and numbers.

That mix shaped his path from PayPal to co-founding @uptop_xyz, reinventing how fans connect with brands. At PayPal, John tackled fraud and optimized transactions.

With Uptop, he’s solving fan loyalty by making sure attention rewards fans directly with perks, experiences, and value they own instead of platforms.

Your everyday grocery or gas purchases can now bring you closer to your team.

Uptop and LSU Athletics launch Geaux Rewards, where fans earn points for shopping to redeem for LSU gear, signed memorabilia, and experiences,following NBA deals with the Cavs and Pistons. The Cavs and Pistons programs proved the model, linking your card, earning rewards year-round, and bringing fans and sponsors closer together through shopping, predictions, and more, all powered by Avalanche.

Avalanche, where capital connects US equities with global markets.

@DinariGlobal is building the future of equity markets through the launch of the Dinari Financial Network, an omni-chain orderbook and L1 network for tokenized U.S. equities, powered by Avalanche. Dinari is a leading provider of tokenized U.S. public equities.

Now it’s going a step further, launching a dedicated Layer 1 blockchain powered by @AvaCloud to unify issuance, liquidity, and settlement across chains.

It’s compatible with a growing list of blockchain environments and fintechs & governed by a consortium of top institutions.

Welcome back to Proof of Thought, a human-centric ideas index pulling Web3 thinkers out of the hype cycle and into honest dialogue.

In our latest installation 002, @natashaghoskins of @BoysClubWorld reminds us: in Web3, relationships matter more than reach. 🧵 @natashaghoskins @BoysClubWorld Natasha calls for retiring “community” as a buzzword.

Real community starts with friendship, not metrics.

Evangelism isn’t a growth hack, it’s what happens when people care. 🤝

Security, from the first commit.

@octane_security, an AI-powered smart contract security platform, is now live on Avalanche, bringing continuous, real-time vulnerability detection directly into developer workflows.

Build faster. Launch safer 🔺 @octane_security In Web3, security often comes too late, as traditional audits typically occur at the end, when fixes are costly and timelines are tight.

Octane changes that by scanning every commit as you code, flagging issues instantly, and delivering feedback directly inside existing tools.

Avalanche, where capital connects.

A new milestone unlocked for tokenized RWAs: Grove launches with a $250M+ RWA target deployment, introducing @grovedotfinance, @centrifuge, and $373B AUM asset manager Janus Henderson to Avalanche’s growing RWA ecosystem 🔺 Grove deployment will include capital into the Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund (JAAA), issued natively onchain through Centrifuge; the Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund (JTRSY) will also launch on Avalanche.

These are the latest additions to Avalanche’s institutional-grade RWA stack in areas like stablecoins, fixed income, alts, and more.

What if every shipment had a tamper-evident, AI-ready certificate proving it was 100% real?

@blockticity just launched a sovereign Avalanche L1 to do exactly that—already securing $1.2B+ in global trade with verifiable, programmable COAs.

But there’s more to this story 🧵 @blockticity Trade compliance is no longer optional.

With rising scrutiny from U.S. Customs, EU deforestation laws, and ESG requirements, enterprises need more than PDFs—they need proof.

Blockticity’s Certificates of Authenticity bring that proof on-chain.

A major Korean cloud provider is putting its support behind Avalanche.

NHN Cloud—Korea’s top cloud provider for finance and government—is joining the Avalanche ecosystem to accelerate next-gen blockchain infrastructure in Korea.

Keep reading for more👇 Creder’s GoldStation—a real-world asset platform for tokenized gold on Avalanche—has now migrated its infrastructure to NHN Cloud, combining Avalanche tech with enterprise-grade cloud performance.

Bridged assets like BTC.b and WETH.e are critical to Avalanche DeFi. But trust in these tokens depends on transparency.

That’s why Avalanche has integrated @chaos_labs Proof of Reserves, bringing on-chain verification of asset backing to the network. Chaos Labs’ PoR continuously monitors reserves, publishes independent attestations onchain, and powers a live dashboard with:
• Coverage ratios
• Discrepancy alerts
• Historical data

This makes collateral verification public, verifiable, and tamper-proof.

Avax. Battle. Pass. 🎮

Yes, the Avalanche Battle Pass has arrived, bringing exclusive NFT rewards and multi-game perks across the Avalanche gaming ecosystem.

It’s pretty easy to get started, too. 👇 First, head over to @MagicEden to mint your Battle Pass NFT.

Avalanche is now live on Infinex.

The integration adds native, onchain support, giving users direct access to Avalanche DeFi with fast execution, low fees, and a clean, self-custodial interface.

Red looks good on you, @infinex 🔺 @infinex Native execution on Avalanche C-Chain means low fees, fast performance, and direct access to DeFi protocols all through a unified interface.

Smart accounts abstract gas, permissions, and routing for a smoother onchain experience.

With new tariffs and compliance measures taking hold, the U.S. is demanding a better way to verify trade.

Fake documents are still a $3T problem. @blockticity is building the fix, and it’s built on Avalanche with @AvaCloud.

Blockticity makes truth verifiable👇 To clear U.S. customs, every shipment needs to present its data under a conformity assessment model approved by the US CPB under the 4 pillars of track and trace, authentication, validation and oversight.

Today, that proof still lives in PDFs and printed certificates—easy to forge, hard to verify, and impossible to track at scale.

Web3 won’t scale with code alone.

It needs connectors—people who translate complexity, empower builders, and make blockchain invisible to the end user. @Andyvargtz of @AvaLabs is one of them.

Keep reading to see how she's redefining DevRel in crypto 🧵👇 Andrea Vargas of Ava Labs is on a mission to reshape how we think about growth in crypto.

She didn’t come from a coding background and was an actuary in Mexico, obsessed with distributed systems.

It wasn’t until a 2019 Avalanche talk with @kevinsekniqi lit the spark — and she plunged into crypto, turning fan passion into DevRel leadership.
