An Avalanche spokesperson told Cointelegraph that the grant program will reward developers who create layer-1 chains and critical tools on the Avalanche9000 testnet.
The Avalanche Foundation announced a $40 million grant to support developers creating layer-1 blockchains on the Avalanche network.
On Sept. 26, Avalanche unveiled “Retro9000,” a retroactive grant program that supports its most recent upgrade called “Avalanche9000.” The upgrade gives developers a simpler and more economical way to create L1 blockchains.
An Avalanche spokesperson told Cointelegraph that the upgrade brings the network closer to its vision. “This is the largest upgrade in Avalanche’s history and brings it closest to the original vision outlined in the white paper,” the spokesperson said.
