Develop a blockchain-based service by changing the form of financial institutions with Avalanche
In the last few years, we have witnessed the emergence of new blockchain-based businesses providing goods, services, and financial services in the cryptocurrency market. Also, this market attracts a large number of consumers.
Major financial institutions, such as banks and other private and public institutions, have increasingly entered the cryptocurrency market. They, however, discovered numerous restrictions, including costs and rules, as well as experts and tools that were insufficient and unprepared.
In this article, the conclusion from REDeFiNE TOMORROW 2023 will give you more information about Avalanche, a platform that integrates financial organizations with the blockchain. A discussion on the subject of "Avalanche - Bringing Financial Institutions into Blockchain with Subnets" will be led by Waikit Lau, CEO and Co-Founder of RemoteHQ (moderator), and John Wu, President of Ava Labs.
Get to know Avalanche and Subnets
John Wu described his journey from working as a hedge fund manager in the technology industry for both the public and private sectors to becoming the president of Ava Labs, a company that developed the stable and quick smart contract platform Avalanche. The mission was to convert any assets into digital forms and make new financial options available to everyone using blockchain technology, which anyone could create and restructure to make it more suited to any financial form.
He went on to Subnets or Sub-networks that had the structure that allowed Avalanche to expand so quickly. Developers could customize their blockchain using the tools provided by subnets.
According to John Wu, each financial service differs from the others in a number of ways, including limitations, legal requirements, and user preferences. It made it possible to create financial platforms with user-customizable features so that designers could easily decide and manage operations. He thought that this was a good chance to let both public and private financial institutions play a part in the blockchain industry.
What is Avalanche Evergreen Subnet?
Avalanche has a subsidiary network called Avalanche Evergreen. Spruce Subnet is one of the Subnets that includes financial institutions, including T. Rowe Price Associates, WisdomTree, Wellington Management, and Cumberland as well as Uniswap and Aave for trial use.
For financial institutions, Spruce Subnet is like a sandbox. The DeFi platform tested collaboration under regulations and the management of regulated financial services (although we still had to wait for more regulation clarity).
AvaCloud. An assistant for creating and designing an end-to-end blockchain.
John Wu referred to AvaCloud as a tool for extensively designing and creating a blockchain appropriate for financial institutions and other businesses. This tool greatly enhanced chain collaboration on Avalanche and assisted in managing end-to-end tasks.
Organizations or financial institutions could design and develop their blockchain platforms on AvaCloud immediately because it was a ready-made platform or open source that could be accessed right away with the availability of tools and features. The ability to launch products into the market promptly without having to find a developer team to write code or ask for help from blockchain technology experts was made possible and beneficial to organizations.
Following are some of the interesting AvaCloud tools that John Wu mentioned.
- Automated Blockchain Builder. This tool has a no-code portal feature that quickly and easily designs and builds the blockchain the user wants without writing any code. It offers a dedicated infrastructure team that supports and designs constantly. Users can easily create features by simply clicking.
- Managed Validators. This tool has a feature that supports managing efficient operations, upholds safety, and offers assistance with continuously adding new features.
- Because of the feature's extensive data on both Avalanche and Ethereum and constant data updates, it cuts down on data costs.
According to John Wu, Avalanche chains would eventually be developed to enable multi-chain operation. In other words, they could function on different chains, especially Ethereum, which has similar networks.
Avalanche in cooperation with Alibaba Cloud to join the Metaverse project
John Wu said that the collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, one of the top-tier cloud platforms worldwide and a major player in Asia, provided a Web3 team with the opportunity to concentrate on designing the solution specifically for businesses. He believed that this partnership was exceptional because, in addition to working with Alibaba Cloud and Avalanche, it also collaborated with MUA DAO, a service provider for developing and designing tools on Metaverse for the launch of CloudVerse.
Businesses and organizations can customize their Metaverse on Avalanche through CloudVerse. In order to create events and other tools for efficient management, users will receive assistance in Visual, Meta-economic, and Interactive Functions.
John Wu believed that as a result of this partnership, Alibaba Cloud's customers—including those in the retail, hotels, gaming, and Avalanche-based industries—would be able to expand their offerings to the intriguing Metaverse.
Shopify enables businesses to produce, acquire, and sell Avalanche NFTs on Venly
John Wu introduced Shopify as an e-commerce platform that enables SMEs and other businesses to launch online stores as he began outlining the workings of trading Avalanche NFTs on Venly. Up to 1,000 store websites were available on Shopify at that time. Shopify created end-to-end solutions so that Shopify stores could exchange NFTs using Venly as a medium in order to increase customer loyalty and boost store engagement. Stores could create their own NFTs with tools it provides.
The opportunity for retailers to interact directly with their customers was made possible by enabling them to build their own NFTs and conduct business with consumers. As a result, these stores were able to directly collect customer information without paying advertising expenses. When new products were introduced, they simply informed their customers via NFTs, which sparked current customers' interest and also drew in new target markets.
Perspectives on the Crypto Community
John Wu realized how crucial the crypto community was to Ava Laps and Avalanche. Similar to an R&D pool where creative ideas could constantly be explored, the cryptocurrency world never stopped evolving and changing. Asset management, the development of NFTs to draw customers to retailers, and the Metaverse were some of the business innovations that these organizations wished to improve their current business models and expand customer options.
He pointed out, however, that there were still a number of restrictions in the crypto community, particularly in the financial area, such as financial systems based on conventional operations, technology, and regulations. Most of them had not yet embraced cryptocurrency.
