🚀 Avalanche, the eighth-largest blockchain by TVL, is gearing up for its biggest upgrade yet: Avalanche9000! Now live on testnet, this upgrade aims to slash transaction costs and make it easier to operate validators and build apps.

Key proposals include ACP-77, allowing cheaper, permissionless validators for launching custom subnets, and ACP-125, reducing C-chain fees to match Ethereum's L2s like Arbitrum and Polygon.

Plus, the Retro9000 grants program offers $40M in rewards for developers and influencers. What are your thoughts on Avalanche's ambitious plans? Share in the comments!
