The Economics of Blockchain is the Avalanche Foundation’s public research series and the ongoing home for our economic research agenda. The agenda is organised around a sequence: measure the value the @avax ecosystem creates, capture that value at the protocol level, and determine how it is distributed across the network. Each piece published in the series connects explicitly to that agenda: advancing the central hypothesis, answering one of the research questions, or documenting what the evidence shows and where it points next. Updates, findings and new research will be shared through the series as the work develops 🔺

New research from @CharlesSchwab highlights the quality of activity on Avalanche, from real-world assets to stablecoins, lending, and asset management. Understanding how that activity creates lasting value for the network is at the heart of our research agenda, and why we created Gross Chain Product to measure that value. The work continues 🔺

Moving traditional capital markets onchain isn’t only about efficiency or 24/7 trading. It goes beyond that. The part I find particularly interesting is access: opening up markets that have been out of reach for much of the world. That’s what we’re building toward on Avalanche 🔺 Enjoyed joining the stream, @PharaohExchange.

Avalanche’s presence in UAE public infrastructure keeps growing. Last month, the UAE’s national digital identity system infrastructure launched on Avalanche, serving more than 12 million people. Now, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Courts have introduced a blockchain-based verification system for court orders and hearing records, built on the Avalanche C-Chain. Together, these two initiatives point to a pattern worth watching: government institutions in the UAE exploring what Avalanche can offer. This is the kind of real-world adoption we’re delighted to see, and we look forward to following the region’s progress on Avalanche 🔺

Hello Team1 Japan 🇯🇵 Avalanche is winning in Japan with some of the deepest institutional adoption anywhere, across tokenized securities, payments infrastructure and enterprise systems. We are here to double down on those efforts and empower the community to build the network. Prior to launching an official Team1 chapter, in Japan we have been actively growing the community and onboarding builders to Avalanche. ・30 events hosted across Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka ・1200 attendees ・18 editions of Avalanche Gourmet Night, our monthly flagship ・4 institutional-focused events Our mission is to build a Japanese builder community that matches the scale of Japan's institutional adoption, and to support growth across consumer, stablecoins, payments and many other verticals. That means real programs, real pathways, and real outcomes. While many markets are still running pilots, Japanese institutions are running live systems. Billions in tokenized real estate and corporate bonds now settle on Avalanche. One of the country's largest payment processors has built on AvaCloud. Japan's biggest banks are exploring tokenized government bonds with Avalanche infrastructure. Team1 Japan is here to build on those efforts and empower the local community to grow Avalanche too. Institutions chose Avalanche. Now it's the builders' turn. ヤバランチ🔺 Join our telegram community and Luma below to connect with the community 👇

Validator economics is one of the central questions in our economics research agenda. According to @eric_lu_sc, the Avalanche Foundation’s Lead Economist, the core question is a two-sided market problem: “how much should validators get paid, and who should pay.” Watch the clip below as he digs into the thinking.

Recently, @frostledger and I joined the Layer One podcast to discuss the Foundation's research agenda. One interesting topic that came up: Validator pay is a genuinely hard problem, and most chains haven't actually solved it. The real question is a two-sided market problem: what are network users actually willing to pay for validation, and what's the minimum validators need to be willing to provide it? We need some kind of equilibrium mechanism to find that price. There's a second layer to this too. Validation is a public good, validators don't fully capture the benefit of the security they provide, everyone on the network does. Basic economic theory says that means it'll be undersupplied without some kind of subsidy. Still working through the answer, but this is exactly the kind of question our research agenda is built to take on. Not just for Avalanche, probably every proof-of-stake chain out there.

Fundamentals are increasingly what’s making the difference, and that’s exactly the problem our research agenda is working to solve. We’re building the mechanisms to measure and capture ecosystem value, and distribute it back to strengthen the network. The work at the Foundation is well underway here 🔺

The demand for 24/7 trading is real. The IMF is right. Markets don’t wait for traditional hours anymore, and more than half of tokenized equity trading already happens outside them. Avalanche was the number one blockchain by tokenized stock growth in September 2026, according to Token Terminal. @PharaohExchange is already building on that foundation: 24/7 trading of tokenized U.S. stocks on a decentralized exchange built natively on Avalanche. This is the kind of infrastructure that’s becoming the backbone of how markets actually work 🔺

A quote from @frostLedger closing out his keynote at Avalanche Summit New York, on why getting this framework right matters. Avalanche’s economics research agenda exists to answer: how does a network properly measure the value it actually creates, capture it sustainably without disrupting activity, and distribute it in a way that strengthens the chain for the long term? As Avalanche evolves into the robust infrastructure the world needs for business, the approach to strengthening the network must evolve with it 🔺

Real-world assets meeting real economic needs. This is the kind of activity our research agenda is built to measure: real credit flowing against real collateral, not just transaction volume. It's a good example of the Avalanche economy growing from the ground up. That's the kind of infrastructure that expands the ecosystem 🔺

More than $2B in grain across 12,000+ warehouses in India is coming to Avalanche, connecting millions of farmers to storage, markets, and credit. Part of that agricultural financing infrastructure is moving onchain with Avalanche. Together with Finternet, Arya.​ag is working with major lenders including Singularity Credit and Aryadhan to make stored agricultural commodities verifiable collateral for credit. By bringing the underlying records and lending process onchain, lenders can verify collateral and trace financing with greater transparency, while farmers gain access to a more efficient credit system backed by the crops they already own.

Capture and distribute. All of it starts with measuring the value in the ecosystem. This is the foundation everything else gets built on 🔺
Measuring an Onchain Economy 🔺 Matias A. (@frostLedger) explains the framework the Avalanche Foundation is using to measure value in the Avalanche economy. Gross Chain Product (GCP) works like GDP (Gross Domestic Product): instead of counting transactions, it sums the revenue each project generates because the chain exists, then traces how that revenue connects across projects - revealing why the economy runs the way it does, and what the chain's security currently depends on. Gross Chain Income (GCI) works like GNI (Gross National Income), going a step further to capture income revenue alone misses - yield backing stablecoins, returns generated inside lending protocols - the value participants actually earn, not just what gets reported as revenue. Together, GCP and GCI reveal the full value only the chain itself enables. Once that's measured, the next questions follow: how much can be captured without disrupting the activity that creates it, and how should it be distributed. This is what the Foundation’s research agenda is built upon.

What Institutional Staking Looks Like 🔺 @frostLedger took the stage at Summit New York to explore the hard questions around staking, and where Avalanche fits into solving them. Here Matias digs into a problem most don't consider: how institutions and service providers actually think through hedging token-based compensation.
