Avalanche完成2.5億美元融資以促進Avalanche9000升級

12 月 12 日，Avalanche 宣布已透過鎖定代幣銷售完成 2.5 億美元融資。 Galaxy Digital、Dragonfly、ParaFi Capital領投，SkyBridge、SCB Limited、Hivemind、Big Brain Holdings、Hypersphere、Lvna Capital、Republic Capital、Morgan Creek Digital、FinTech Collective、CMCC Global、Superscrypt、Cadenza等40多家投資公司、Chorus One 和Tané Labs 參與了投資。籌集的資金將用於促進名為“Avalanche9000”的升級。

Avalanche recently completed a $250 million financing through a locked token sale, which will be used to promote an upgrade called "Avalanche9000". Compared to the popular Memecoin, the progress of many old public chains has been overlooked in this bull market.

Avalanche 最近透過鎖定代幣銷售完成了 2.5 億美元融資，該融資將用於推廣名為「Avalanche9000」的升級。相較於熱門的Memecoin，許多老牌公鏈的進步在這次牛市中被忽視了。

As early as the beginning of September, Avalanche announced the launch of the Avalanche9000 upgrade (or Etna upgrade), and regarded it as the "biggest upgrade" since its launch. Simply put, Avalanche hopes to change its original expansion form "subnet" through Avalanche9000 and build it into Avalanche L1. According to Avalanche, Avalanche9000 will allow new Avalanche L1 custom staking, gas tokens, and governance while retaining the advantages of fast termination time and high throughput of the subnet. But specifically, how can this upgrade be achieved?

早在9月初，Avalanche就宣布推出Avalanche9000升級版（或稱Etna升級版），並將其視為推出以來「最大的升級版」。簡單來說，Avalanche希望透過Avalanche9000改變其原有的擴展形式“子網路”，將其打造為Avalanche L1。據 Avalanche 稱，Avalanche9000 將允許新的 Avalanche L1 自訂質押、gas 代幣和治理，同時保留快速終止時間和子網路高吞吐量的優勢。但具體來說，這個升級要如何實現呢？

As one of the original "Ethereum killers", Avalanche started the "subnet road" in 2022, allowing various applications to create their own application chains. However, to become a subnet validator, you need to verify the Avalanche main network (Primary Network) at the same time, including the contract chain (C-Chain), platform chain (P-Chain) and transaction chain (X-Chain). This means that the validator must allocate at least 8 AWS vCPUs, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage space for network verification, in addition to a minimum stake of 2,000 AVAX.

作為最初的“以太坊殺手”之一，Avalanche 在 2022 年開啟了“子網路之路”，讓各種應用創建自己的應用鏈。但要成為子網路驗證者，需要同時驗證Avalanche主網（Primary Network），包括合約鏈（C-Chain）、平台鏈（P-Chain）和交易鏈（X-Chain） 。這意味著驗證者除了最低 2,000 AVAX 的權益外，還必須分配至少 8 個 AWS vCPU、16 GB RAM 和 1 TB 儲存空間以進行網路驗證。

At first, this requirement may not be too high, but as AVAX appreciates (AVAX price is around $52 at the time of writing), the overall operating cost will become higher and higher (the minimum staking requirement can be lowered, but frequent changes may not be Avalanche's consideration). In the long run, such a high entry barrier will affect the adoption of the Avalanche ecosystem.

起初這個要求可能不會太高，但隨著 AVAX 升值（撰寫本文時 AVAX 價格在 52 美元左右），整體營運成本會越來越高（最低質押要求可以降低，但頻繁變動可能會導致不屬於Avalanche的考慮範圍）。從長遠來看，如此高的進入門檻將影響Avalanche生態系統的採用。

Therefore, the Avalanche Foundation launched proposal ACP-77 in April, which aims to completely reform the creation and management of subnets and give subnet creators greater flexibility.

因此，Avalanche基金會於4月推出提案ACP-77，旨在徹底改革子網路的創建和管理，賦予子網路創作者更大的靈活性。

According to the proposal, Avalanche L1 validators will no longer need to validate the main network at the same time. They only need to synchronize with P-Chain, which will track changes in its own Avalanche L1 validator set and handle cross-L1 communication through AWM. In addition, Avalanche L1 can decide and implement its own verification rules and staking requirements, and P-Chain will no longer support the distribution of staking rewards for Avalanche L1. In other words, the sovereignty of Avalanche L1 returns from P-Chain to L1 itself.

根據該提案，Avalanche L1 驗證器將不再需要同時驗證主網路。它們只需要與 P-Chain 同步，P-Chain 將追蹤自己的 Avalanche L1 驗證器集的變化，並透過 AWM 處理跨 L1 通訊。此外，Avalanche L1可以決定並實施自己的驗證規則和質押要求，P-Chain將不再支持Avalanche L1的質押獎勵分配。換句話說，Avalanche L1的主權從P鏈回歸到L1本身。

On the other hand, the proposal plans to change P-Chain's fee mechanism from a fixed fee per transaction to a dynamic fee that is more in line with the user-pays principle, thereby ensuring the long-term economic sustainability of Avalanche after the removal of the 2000 AVAX staking requirement. Specifically, the dynamic fee mechanism is related to multiple factors such as the total number of Avalanche L1 validators registered on P-Chain. Fees will be adjusted based on network usage, and fees will increase when the total number of Avalanche L1 validators exceeds the target usage rate, and vice versa.

另一方面，提案計劃將P-Chain的收費機制從每筆交易的固定費用改為更符合用戶付費原則的動態費用，從而保證移除後Avalanche的長期經濟可持續性2000 AVAX 質押要求。具體來說，動態費用機制與P-Chain上註冊的Avalanche L1驗證人總數等多種因素有關。費用將根據網路使用情況進行調整，當 Avalanche L1 驗證器總數超過目標使用率時，費用將增加，反之亦然。

In addition to the proposals in ACP-77, other implementation foundations of Avalanche9000 include two major interoperability protocols: Inter-Chain Token Transfer (ICTT) and Inter-Chain Messaging (ICM).

除了ACP-77中的提案外，Avalanche9000的其他實現基礎包括兩個主要的互通協議：鏈間代幣傳輸（ICTT）和鏈間訊息傳遞（ICM）。

ICTT is a set of smart contracts deployed in multiple subnets based on the cross-chain communication protocol Teleporter and Avalanche Warp Messaging technology, allowing users to transfer tokens between subnets. Each token transferor consists of a "home" contract and at least one (or more) "remote" contract. The "home" contract is located in the subnet where the assets to be transferred are located. The "remote" contract exists in other subnets.

ICTT 是一套基於跨鏈通訊協定 Teleporter 和 Avalanche Warp Messaging 技術部署在多個子網路中的智慧合約，允許用戶在子網路之間轉移代幣。每個代幣轉讓方都由一個「本地」合約和至少一個（或多個）「遠程」合約組成。 「家鄉」合約位於待轉移資產所在的子網路中。 「遠端」合約存在於其他子網路中。

ICM is designed to enable seamless communication between C-Chain and new and existing Avalanche L1s. As long as a new L1 is deployed through Avalanche, it will be immediately supported and can interact with other L1s at any time. With ICM, developers only need to call sendCrossChainMessage on the TeleporterMessenger contract to send information from one Avlanche L1 to another. (Note: The Github technical documentation related to ICM has not yet been released. Interested students can refer to the relevant courses of Avalanche Academy.)

ICM 旨在實現 C-Chain 與新的和現有的 Avalanche L1 之間的無縫通訊。只要透過Avalanche部署一個新的L1，它就會立即得到支持，並且可以隨時與其他L1互動。使用 ICM，開發人員只需在 TeleporterMessenger 合約上呼叫 sendCrossChainMessage 即可將訊息從一個 Avlanche L1 傳送到另一個。 （註：ICM相關的Github技術文件尚未發布，有興趣的同學可以參考Avalanche Academy的相關課程。）

From September 3rd to now, only more than three months have passed, but the progress of Avalanche9000 is not slow. In the month of the official announcement, the Avalanche Foundation announced the launch of two incentive programs, namely Bounty9000 with a maximum reward of US$9,000 and Retro9000, a retroactive incentive program of US$40 million, which aims to reward developers who develop L1 and related tools on Avalanche. On November 26, Avalanche9000 was upgraded and launched on the Fuji testnet,

從9月3日到現在，僅僅過了三個多月的時間，但Avalanche9000的進展並不慢。在官方宣布月，Avalanche基金會宣布啟動兩項激勵計劃，分別是最高獎勵9000美元的Bounty9000和4000萬美元的追溯激勵計劃Retro9000，旨在獎勵開發L1及相關的開發者Avalanche 上的工具。 11月26日，Avalanche9000升級上線富士測試網，
