Avalanche backs purpose‑built blockchains, nearly 80 live and over 100 in testing
On December 18, 2025, Ava Labs CBO John Nahas said the network’s future lies in sovereign, purpose‑built chains rather than monolithic block space. He noted nearly 80 Avalanche layer‑one chains are live and more than 100 are in testing, with deployments by Toyota, FIFA, and SMBC aimed at finance, identity, and enterprise workflows.
