Avalanche Launches Fusion Blockchain Ecosystem With $100 Million Fund

Avalanche, Helix, and Faculty Group have launched Fusion, a new blockchain ecosystem designed to drive real-world adoption through modular infrastructure tailored to specific industries. Built on Avalanche, Fusion features a two-layer architecture that includes composers, customizable layer-1 networks, and modules, which offer plug-and-play services like compute, identity, and data oracles. This approach aims to deliver “outcome-driven, domain-specific” blockchain-based economies, addressing the need for mainstream adoption by shifting the focus from selling blockspace to delivering business value.

Fusion integrates economic alignment, network design, and composability to achieve real-world outcomes. The team behind Fusion expects significant traction in composer and module development over the next two to three years. Initially, they plan to start with five composers and nearly 100 modules in the first year, with expectations to more than double this number over the next two to three years. This growth is facilitated by Fusion’s architecture, which allows enterprises and Web3 builders to combine technology, financial tools, and identity features in ways that were previously unavailable.

Fusion is an initiative led and funded by the Avalanche community, leveraging resources from existing Avalanche programs. The $100 million fund for Fusion will come from Avalanche’s Multiverse, an incentive program to accelerate the adoption of Avalanche subnets, and Retro9000, a grant program that rewards developers who build infrastructure and tools. Additionally, funds from InfraBUIDL and InfraBUIDL AI, programs designed to support Avalanche-based projects, will also contribute to Fusion’s growth. The spokesperson for Fusion emphasized that the initiative strengthens Avalanche’s position as a blockchain that delivers real-world business value.
