September was an absolutely epic month for @avax. So much happening across the ecosystem, and so many people putting in the work to move it forward. It’s been brilliant to watch.

The ambition, the creativity and the willingness to help each other turn ideas into something real. Huge credit to everyone contributing, supporting builders, sharing their work and bringing new people into Avalanche. Every bit of that effort matters. Proud to be a small part of this community and excited to see what October brings. Keep building. Keep showing up.

Korea's FSC is bringing its central securities depository onchain, with KSD building on Avalanche / @avax @cryptoreine, Tokenization Lead at @AvaLabs, told us in July why an onchain register matters: "The issuers or their transfer agents reflect ownership directly onchain." "There aren't twin or parallel representations of the same asset. You don't have to go through the traditional process to date of reconciling the onchain with the offchain records." x.lingyaoai.com/avax/status/2106113860…

Measure. Capture. Distribute 🔺 Matias A. (@frostLedger) took the stage at Avalanche Summit New York to detail the economic framework underpinning the Foundation's research agenda. He addressed three central questions: how value can be measured, how it can be captured without disrupting economic activity, and how distribution can be made more efficient. Drawing a direct parallel to the fiscal multiplier concept in macroeconomics, where a dollar spent should generate more than a dollar of impact. The Foundation is examining each aspect of the agenda thoroughly and with rigour, with the aim of making meaningful, long-term changes that strengthen Avalanche.

Summit was phenomenal! Having so many of our partners in one place, discussing why blockchain, and why Avalanche made it even more special.

🔺 Finch is coming to Avalanche @avax. 🤖 On Finch, you'll be able to hire AI agents, buy and sell the skills they use, and post tasks for them to complete. Avalanche is home to payments, tokenization, global markets, and now, more access to agent economies. 🌐 🧩 Finch brings the AI agent economy into one platform: a market for agents, a market for their skills, and a market for tasks. 🔐 For that market to work, an agent needs to know what a skill does and be able to use it without relying on the person who built it. That's why we submitted ERC-8338, a proposed standard for verifiable skills that agents can own, run, and trade onchain. ⛓️ 🏔️ Avalanche is home to global economies, and now, Avalanche will be home to the agent economy. 🚀 🔗 Finch: finchtech.ai/ 🔗 Avalanche: avalanche.com/
