AVALANCHE WEEKLY UPDATE (WEEK 45) | A promising ecosystem brimming with future possibilities
Over the course of the past week, the Avalanche ecosystem has continued to grow and accelerate, resulting in the creation of new ATH. In particular, the price of AVAX increased from $78.31 to $99.9 (~27%) between November 8, 2021, and November 15, 2021. Because of this, several applications in the ecosystem have seen significant growth, including TraderJoe (~67%), BenQi (~72% ), Pangolyn (~36%), and others.
Avalanche Substantial News
Tether Token (USDt) Launches on Avalanche
Tether Operations Limited (“Tether”), the company behind the blockchain-based tether.to platform, has launched Tether tokens (“USDt”) on Avalanche, a decentralized smart contracts platform built for global finance and commerce. Avalanche is a low-cost, high-performance network built to grow with blockchain technology. With Avalanche’s EVM compatibility, Ethereum developers can easily build and launch apps.
The Avalanche network’s launch of Tether’s token will aim to support long-term growth and sustainability while increasing stablecoin usage across the DeFi ecosystem.
“We’re excited to launch USDt on Avalanche, offering its growing and vibrant community access to the most liquid, stable, and trusted stablecoin in the digital token space,” said Paolo Ardoino, CTO at Tether. “For those who believe in the development of Layer-1 blockchain platforms Avalanche represents an evolved project that boasts Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility and could be an essential driver for developers looking to port decentralized applications over from Ethereum
“USDt on Avalanche is an essential building block for DeFi users,” says Emin Gün Sirer, Director of the Avalanche Foundation. “Tether has become a well-accepted, time-tested stablecoin with extensive support throughout exchanges. It will be even more powerful with Avalanche as its foundation.”
Binance announced to list BENQI (QI)

Remarkable Stats
- 61.91 staking ratio (242M) – down 0.4% from last week

Ecosystem
AVAX was listed on Public.com
Public.com is a financial education platform that teaches individuals how to become better investors. Members can use the platform to manage a diverse portfolio of stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. On Public, ownership enables access to content and education that is contextual to their portfolio and is created by a community of over a million investors, creators, and analysts.
Coinbase made AVAX tradable for New York residents
Avvy Domains partnered with Avalanche
Avvy enables users and businesses to replace computer-generated identifiers such as wallet addresses with human-readable and memorable names such as johndoe.avax. Subnets are the future of Avalanche: distinct but interoperable blockchains. In Avalanche, digital entities exist across multiple blockchains, posing unique naming system requirements.
The mission of Avvy Domains is to provide a robust and flexible platform for referencing entities across subnets and outside the Avalanche ecosystem. It intends to collaborate closely with developers to ensure widespread integration of Avvy Domains. We hope that human-readable identifiers and identity provision via reverse lookups benefit both users and developers.
PayRue Wallet integrated Avalanche
PayRue Swap is built on the 0x Protocol and enables users to swap any token on any supported chain directly from a mobile application. PayRue DEX Wallet is decentralized, allowing users to retain control of their private keys and freely import and export wallets. PayRue Wallet has now reached phase 1, which is truly being a multi-chain wallet. What authors mean by this is that they will support wallet and swap functionality across a variety of blockchains that are compatible with Ethereum.
Today PayRue Wallet supports:
- Binance Smart Chain
- Ethereum
- Polygon
- Fantom
- Avalanche
Hummingbot extended its liquidity mining program for AVAX

DAOs
SecureDAO: A Secure Reserve Currency on Avalanche
$SCR is a decentralized reserve currency that remains unbound by a peg. Solving liquidity ownership.
MetaDAO: DAO-of-DAO’s
MetaDAO objectives are to build
- Support natural and legal bylaws by implementing a service that can implement automated legal framework on a protocol alongside the templates that can be deployed by end users. (Means custom templates)
- Develop automated function to dispute resolution using MetaAI bots (AI use cases)
- Developing multi-protocol function that allow integrated working of DAO and inherit rules and observation for the MetaAI and execute them bi-directional
- Onboard orgs with custom templates
- Connect these orgnisation
- Observe the dynamics between them
- Learn and experiment
This project demonstrates an advanced Hardhat use case, integrating other tools commonly used alongside Hardhat in the ecosystem.
Sperm Bank DAO
The project comes with a sample contract, a test for that contract, a sample script that deploys that contract, and an example of a task implementation, which simply lists the available accounts. It also comes with a variety of other tools, preconfigured to work with the project code.
OrcaDAO enabled Yak farming tokens as collateral
OrcaDAO is the first native Stablecoin (AVAI), and Governance token (ORCA) pair that allows for lending using crypto collateral at 0% interest, built on and for the Avalanche Network.
For the first time, Yield Yak users can use their deposited assets as collateral. Deposit YRT (Yak Receipt Token) into the AVAI stablecoin vaults for a 0% loan. Your Yield Yak deposits will continue to compound in the background. 1 AVAI = 1 USD. Users of Yield Yak can stake YRT in OrcaDAO vaults. AAVE $AVAX lending strategy will be the first single-asset strategy accepted by the vaults, with more single-asset strategies to follow. It is planned to include YRT tokens from LP farms in the future. A user can only borrow a certain percentage of their collateral’s USD value. Starting with a 50% cap, if you deposit $100 USDC via your Yak Receipt Token, you can borrow up to $50 AVAI. Take care! The liquidation threshold is also 50%, so give yourself plenty of room below that. The 50% limit will be reviewed periodically. A Chainlink oracle price feed is used to ensure accurate collateral prices. The project earns revenue by charging 0.75 percent for returning the token. Prices change rapidly and vaults must remain accurate at all times.
Liquidity Mining
Axial, a stableswap protocol, launched as a product of Snowball Finance
Axial debuted on November 10th, based on the popular Snowball DAO. The application’s core functions are swapping and providing liquidity. Axial has a distinct advantage over other DEXs on Avalanche, such as Trader Joe or Pangolin, in that it focuses on providing liquidity for value-pegged assets and charges significantly lower swap fees. This means less slippage on high-volume trades and little to no temporary loss when providing liquidity.
Yeild Farming
Maximus integrated Chainlink price feeds
Maximus is a new generation Yield Farming Aggregator & Optimizer for Avalanche!
Maximus brings a new breath to the Avalanche ecosystem with its unique features and will be providing the most lucrative financial tools to the whole ecosystem through a new token architecture that keeps its price proportional to AVAX with auto buybacks and allows the best mechanisms for people who like to earn other tokens from other projects via various compounders and maximizers while providing a strong token utility and no sell pressure on other projects.
Stuff for Devs
Avalanche Hacks, an in-person hackathon for Turkish-speakers, will take place in Istanbul
Avalanche Hacks is an in-person hackathon for Turkish-speaking builders. The event is set to begin on December 3 and will end on December 5. The event is aimed toward blockchain developers building decentralized solutions that digitize all the world’s assets.
AvalancheGo v1.6.5 went live, which introduces the ability to query validator uptime
Avash v1.2.1 went live
AvalancheJS v3.9.3 went live
Conclusion
It can clearly be seen that Avalanche has begun to pay attention to the gaming nft component of its ecosystem as a result of these developments. Is this the location where the next infusion of cash will be received? In addition, more and more well-known projects are beginning to integrate with the Avax system, demonstrating the potential of the system as an ecosystem in the future.
