A crypto analyst took to Twitter to reveal that daily active addresses on the network have hit a 6-month high, a testimony to Avalanche’s increasing appeal for dApp deployment.

To boost the development of subnets, Ava Labs, the main developer behind the Avalanche blockchain, announced the launch of AvaCloud, a Web3 launchpad which will help businesses build no-code, fully managed blockchain ecosystems.

Avalanche on cloud nine

Subnets are the preferred scaling solution for Avalanche which allow users to create and deploy application-specific blockchain networks. Platforms have a lot to gain from leveraging these app-specific blockchains if they want more control over infrastructure.

However, the process has become complex, time consuming and expensive. This is where AvaCloud comes into the picture.

AvaCloud product suite consists of four components like automated blockchain builder, managed validators, comprehensive data tools, and chain interoperability.

Using these, businesses can significantly cut down time-to-market and operating costs connected with the deployment of subnets without having to hire Web3 experts.

Ava Labs stated that Korean conglomerate SK, gaming app Blitz, and AAA game studio Shrapnel were among the early users who started building their custom chains using AvaCloud.

Development activity rises

Another factor corroborating Avalanche’s expanding landscape was the growing number of smart contracts and developers. Crypto analyst Alex Wacy drew attention to the strong performance of the proof-of-stake (PoS) chain on these two fronts.

Furthermore, despite a large drop in the average price of the AVAX token in the bear market, the total value locked (TVL) has witnessed a lower degree of reduction, indicating sustained interest in the Avalanche network.
