Itโs Thanksgiving, but Iโm still getting asked - whatโs the difference between AWM and Teleporter? ๐ค
๐Letโs break it down while you wait for the turkey to cook and your family to arrive๐
Why is everyone so psyched for Durango, the next Avalanche Network upgrade?
Because it unleashes Teleporter, an EVM-compatible cross-Subnet communication protocol built on top of Avalanche Warp Messaging (AWM) and implemented as a Solidity smart contract.
huh????
Had a great time chatting about the advent of custom blockchains at the Capitol yesterday.
Itโs undeniable that Avalanche Subnets are fast, scalable, customizable, and affordable.
Like Cornellโs founding principle: โAny person, any studyโ
Any business, any use case.
For the first time via
@coreapp
extension, users can now bridge 'native Ethereum USDC' on Ethereum to / from 'native Avalanche USDC' on Avalanche. This is HUUUGE.
Why? 2 main benefits:
1) Unifies liquidity
2) Reduces bridge risk

ecosystem.

TL;DR ๐๐๐ (Fuji C-Chain can now verify incoming Avalanche Warp Messages)
The Age of Interoperability is here ๐บ๐
With today's launch of Teleporter, Avalanche becomes a seamlessly linked network of many chains that communicate so smoothly they feel like a single chain.
Let's dig in to Teleporter and all its amazing benefits ๐
1/ Teleporter, a new cross-chain messaging protocol built on top of Avalanche Warp Messaging, is now open for testing. ๐
It provides smart contract developers an easy, native way to call contracts on other EVM-based chains within
#Avalanche
.
If you're not a dev, this roadmap might not be clear... What's the impact to the user? Use cases? Here are two ambitious items on my personal wishlist ๐ซ
1) More sovereign chains than there are countries in the world
2) 1bn+ transactions/day that settle faster-than-I-can-blink
1/N After much demand, it's finally here: a proposed roadmap for AvalancheGo, or how to build the future of next-gen blockchain networks by leveraging all the best components of of monolithic and modular designs into one.
Note, this non-exhaustive and requires ACP approvals!
Three things the Avalanche Bridge cares about:
1) Security
2) Seamless UX
3) Speed
Proof of Reserve with
@chainlink
enhances security and offers transparency for any user ๐
Since launching in July 2021, the Avalanche Bridge has processed over $68B worth of transactions, with $7B+ TVL at its peak.
Transparency has been integral to the Avalanche Bridge since day one, with Proof of Assets, and now with the integration of Proof of Reserves. ๐
The most exciting projects in the
@AVAX
ecosystem
Avaissance, Evergreen, Firewood, and Teleporter (coming soon). And, crossing over 1 billion total transactions since launch. Thereโs plenty to be excited about with Avalanche.
Letโs get to it!
Teleporter is an EVM-compatible solution built ON TOP of AWM.
It facilitates seamless connections within the Avalanche ecosystem by providing useful properties to cross-chain applications that AWM does not provide by default.

I just ran 3 consistent miles on a treadmill, and I canโt remember the last time I did that... Maybe 5 years ago?
So how did I do it and why? I was listening to
@stephenbuttolph

@LoganJastremski
talk and couldnโt stop - no exaggeration.
AWM + Teleporter: Part 1
There's an Avalanche of Gaming Subnets coming. But how will these separate blockchains talk to each other?
@coopernicus01
asks
@meeshtian
of the Product team about Avalanche Warp Messaging & Teleporter in part one of our short video series.
Sustained 100k+ TPS, 50 validators (5 global regions), 10m accounts (2.5m active), One click script for anyone to reproduce the benchmarks.
Vryx is looking promising
๐ฃ Heads up: The Avalanche Bridge will be introducing a new pricing model on May 30th for the EVM bridge, providing cost-effective offboarding & competitive rates.
This is the true fidelity test.
You can reproduce
@_patrickogrady
's *5 Billion Micropayments at 100k TPS* in your own AWS account by running this script.
You don't just have to see it to believe it, you can DO it โ๏ธ
You can view the code that powered this devnet here:
You can reproduce these results (or modify any of the configuration like the number of validators) in your own AWS account by running this script:
Avalanche Warp Messaging (AWM) is the foundation for how different blockchain networks (Subnets) communicate with one another.
It is set to be the interoperability cornerstone within Avalanche and can be extended to ANY VM.
We are proud to announce the launch of
@AvaCloud

AvaCloud marks a landmark shift in the blockchain development process.
Let's dive in to AvaCloud ๐
Onyx by
@jpmorgan
and
@apolloglobal
have announced a collaboration under Project Guardian, leveraging
@LayerZero_Labs
to connect Onyx with a permissioned Avalanche Evergreen Subnet, which facilitated subscriptions and redemptions for funds offered by
@WisdomTreePrime
.
With Teleporter, all you have to do is call the sendCrossChainMessage method. The message will be delivered by an AWM relayer, which is permissionless.
Yes, anyone can run an AWM relayer and get PAID to run one ๐ซก
But AWM is a low-level primitive, itโs not easy to use it out-of-the-box.
Developers need to customize VMs to provide access to AWM and provide their own delivery mechanism for signing cross-chain messages (great...I know how to do that ๐คฅ).

Thanks to
@circle
CCTP (cross chain transfer protocol), there is no need for wrapped representations of USDC like USDC.e on Avalanche C-chain anymore.
Users can now seamlessly migrate their USDC from Ethereum to Avalanche and have it all be ~NATIVE USDC~
wowza ๐ฅน
Meaning I could have a savings account on the JPM Chase Subnet, then purchase a coffee on the Starbucks Subnet. My $ can move seamlessly across these different networks without me having to worry about the payment rails and details (
@Chase
@starbucks
please go build this tyvm).
Fast, secure and interconnected blockchains that seamlessly communicate with each other, all made possible by the release of Teleporter on Avalanche!
@meeshtian
, Technical Product Manager, and
@Michael_Kaplan1
, Engineering Manager, joined us on Spaces to discuss how it works,
While counterintuitive, high TVL is not always the goal as the locked tokens on the source chain is an attractive pot of $ for attackers.
Reducing the *bridge* TVL (and transitioning it to *native* TVL) is a huge win for everyone (well, at least the good guys).
Ok forget thatttt. Let's just focus on understanding the WHY.
Teleporter makes the grand vision of *hundreds of thousands* of interconnected blockchains (Subnets) viable.
11/
AWM is just a GLIMPSE of what the team has been working on. Thereโs a lot more coming soonโฆ ๐คญ
Here is the episode again so you can catch all the other alpha leaked. Now time for a run?๐โโ๏ธ
Any smart contract developer will find Teleporter straightforward to use. If you don't...reach out to me! I'm taking notes and loooooove feedback ๐
Check out the course by
@AvaxDevelopers
Native USDC means our funds are no longer locked anywhere. No additional layers of trust assumptions ๐
And lower bridge TVL means less incentive for attackers to exploit (swiper, no swiping), so we can sleep more soundly at night ๐ด
In this short blog you'll understand:
WHAT Teleporter is
HOW you can use it
WHY its differentiated from existing solutions
NEXT... you can leverage this communication protocol

The actual implementation of this is quite complicated, but thatโs why we have the big brains
@stephenbuttolph
@Michael_Kaplan1
@AaronBuchwald
Essentially, our P-Chain is the secret sauce that allows validators to send, attest, and receive messages.
February was a big month for the product team, shipping new updates for
@coreapp

Here's some of the highlights ๐
AWM + Teleporter: Part 3
Can you teleport NFTs across Subnets?
@meeshtian
explains some of the Teleporter benefits to
@coopernicus01
, including the ability to take your virtual goods to other Teleporter enabled Subnets.
It's all about creating a seamless user experience.
5/
So why should you care? Because this also enables low latency and fast finality - a transaction on Avalanche is ~2 SECONDS.
Wowsofastdidyoucatchthat? 2 secs is a lot shorter vs. Bitcoin's 60 mins. Using the Avalanche network, you can actually buy HOT coffee ๐โ
Teleporter opens up endless possibilities for developers and users.
Ungated access to information and data is key to a robust ecosystem, opening up new opportunities and promoting long-term sustainability.

Weโre super excited about this one if you havenโt noticed already.
AWM enables *any* subnet to send *any* message to *any* other subnet. Is that too many any's? ๐๐
With Teleporter, bridging tokens or accessing oracle price feed data from another Subnet becomes a breeze.
You can get access to any data / info on another (public) Subnet to your Subnet.
2/
Here's the episode:
Some of my favorite parts include the way they described:
1. Snowball Consensus
2. Nakamoto Coefficient
3. Avalanche Warp Messaging (AWM)
3/
Snowball consensus - itโs just basic statistics. Youโll get it, I promise.
Think about pre-election polls. The whole population isn't sampled, but if you repeatedly and randomly sample small groups, you will ultimately get a pretty accurate overall representation.
Great time at the NASDAQ closing bell ceremony today. Supporting women at Ava Labs, in blockchain tech, and everywhere around the world.

update:
The Avalanche Bridge at is moved to a different URL. The Avalanche Bridge now exists within Core web and can be found in the Core web command center and at , all with the same features and functionality.
Now that Avalanche has a few years under its belt, many active community members have asked how they can get more involved in helping the ecosystem expand ๐ค
Here's your chance to grow the Avalanche network and your Web3 career simultaneously by joining the Avalanche Ambassador
6/
Next, Avalanche has the highest Nakamoto Coefficient of PoS blockchains, at 26.
Higher Nakamoto Coefficient = more decentralization, as it represents the minimum number of colluding validators needed to disrupt a network.
4/
Repeated subsampling is core to Avalanche as it enables scalability.
It doesn't matter if there are 20 validators or 20,000 validators; the number of consensus messages a node sends during a query remains constant.
10/
The best part is that AWM is a primitive that any VM developer can use and build on top of.
Itโs super flexible! You get to determine what the messages look like and how your VM will interact with these messages.
@StarWarsOP
@avax
Not quite! Teleporter is an EVM-compatible solution built ON TOP of AWM. It provides useful properties to cross-chain applications that AWM does not provide by default. You can check these out here:
But wait, isn't this technically possible already? ๐ค
For a while now Subnets have been integrating with third party solutions to bridge tokens from the C-Chain to their Subnet, but these integrations can be arduous, time-intensive, have long lines or be costly ๐ฐ
7/
Okkk, what does that mean? Measuring decentralization provides a better idea of how secure the network is.
Itโll guarantee that you do indeed have the $5.95 to purchase your PSL ๐ and that the transaction will go through.
Avalanche CLI now supports Teleporter & Avalanche Warp Messaging! This new release supports creation & deployment of Subnets with Teleporter support in Local Network with support for Devnet, Fuji & Mainnet coming soon! See the demo in the vid below! Huge credit to
@FelipeMadero4
!
So finally, we arrive at Teleporter.
Designed to simplify cross-Subnet communication, Teleporter abstracts away the complexity, making it practical, fast, and affordable.
Look at this amazing trailer for Off The Grid, the first
@GunzillaGames
title set to launch on the GUNZ subnet.

@riemann_ben
@_patrickogrady
@soispoke
Nothing restricting it anymore ๐
Non-EVM will need to determine things like the contents of the payload, how to aggregate the signature (VM-to-VM communication, off-chain relayer, etc.).
We do have plans to extend Teleporter-like support to other VMs.
Itโs Thanksgiving, but Iโm still getting asked - whatโs the difference between AWM and Teleporter? ๐ค

2) Focus on ~Intents~
This emphasizes WHAT users want, not all the nuances of HOW to achieve it.
Uber makes it so easy to get to your destination. I don't need to worry about a creepy driver, paying at the end, or navigating.
Navigating Web3 shouldn't be so fragmented and difficult.
